The eBay Fair Trade site (www.eBay.co.uk/fairtrade) is designed to draw attention to the abundance of Fair Trade items available, their quality, style and diversity. It will feature listings for items ranging from embroidered hand bags, hand crafted earrings and exquisite necklaces, to leather purses, funky t-shirts and beautifully detailed bangles.

Richard Kanareck, spokesman for eBay.co.uk, said, “The Fair Trade on eBay hub features some of the UK's pioneering Fair Trade brands alongside some of the newer players. Together they present an incredibly broad and enticing range of ethically sourced, Fair Trade products.”

The demand for Fair Trade products is ever increasing, and the range of Fair Trade companies selling on the site demonstrates the sheer appetite for these.

The Fair Trade hub can be found at www.eBay.co.uk/fairtrade.
