I'm spoiled, ungreen but maybe a bit green again....

Am quite spoiled shipping with my nice crispy new ebay logo tissue paper today.

For time immemorial, I've always used recycled Xmas paper in my shipping boxes (thankfully most everyone in the family has been using tissue paper in reusable bags). Each Xmas I end up with 1 to 2 garbage bags full of it and along with birthdays etc throughout the year I've never run out (Mother in law keeps me filled with empty plastic shopping bags too).

So my "free" ebay logo tissue paper is making me less green, because so far it's the only "free" thing they've ever offered that I'll use and I don't need that much of it over the course of the year.

So I've begun distributing the ebay logo paper to those in the family that will use it in their gifts, fortunately the ebay logo isn't very prominent.

This means eventually I'll be reusing the "free" recycled eBay logo tissue paper, making me somewhat green again....

Completing the circle of (recycling) life I guess...

(Now if I could just sell more stuff in boxes to consume more paper that would be awesome (boxes stuff is normally my more expensive stuff) otherwise I'll have to hope eBay offers something else "free" that I can use instead!)

Yes, like bring back the ebay bucks program we had many years ago.. but that would be too much of a benefit to the seller. 

They could also increase sellers allotment of free listings to compensate for higher store subscriptions.

eBay has found a way to compensate sellers without really giving them anything.

It's more of a benefit for eBay then the seller, the company makes money on overages, as most coupons don't cover the entire cost and benefit from a lot of free advertising.

Now on a positive note, Kudos on recycling!!
