I read a comment on reddit that I think describes and illuminates how myself and others feel about worldofgood.com Originally found at: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/6zj86/biggest_joke_ebay_has_created_in_a_while/ Quote: Seriously I hope nobody just blindly falls for this. It sounds so good on paper until you find that there really is little benefit to the sellers on this site versus regular ebay. If ebay was truly a conscious corporation I'd think they would eliminate at least some of the fees involved. Yet from what I can tell an artist on these sites will still pay: a listing fee, a final valuation fee, a fee to be a premium paypal member, a fee just for using pay pal, and more then likely a currency conversion fee in order to repatriate earnings. Really, it seems like every company now a days is trying to scream the words green and ethical at the top of their lungs just to get a little press while still playing the same dirty games they always have. Or in ebay's case milking the starving cow one penny at a time. I have to admit I have serious reservations about this new ebay affiliate.
