eBay announced an ecommerce marketplace called WorldofGood.com by eBay for "socially responsible shopping." WorldofGood.com products, producers and sellers are verified by various third parties called Trust Providers, such as TransFair USA (Fair Trade Certified), Co-op America and Aid to Artisans. Products span 15 categories such as home and garden, art, jewelry, clothing and food items. For example, socially responsible shoppers can purchase fair trade coffee, accessories and home décor items made from recycled materials, organic clothing and animal-friendly beauty products on the site. Many products on the new marketplace are handcrafted by artisans across the world and in developing nations. All WorldofGood.com listings are also available on eBay.com.
