eBay project
One of my biggest projects I do in my classes is the eBay project. I have students donate items to sell on eBay and the proceeds go to a charity. The students learn the basics of eBay and the decisions needed to be made. They essentially go through the 4 P's of Marketing in this decision making process. (What to sell, what price, what categories, etc., what wording should be used to catch the buyers' eyes, and shipping costs, etc.) They get so excited when they find out how many hits and bids they have. If you have any questions, let me know!

That sounds like a great idea. I have been thinking about something similar, but just haven't done it. Our department has talked about the possibility of opening an ebay store front.
Can you send me some information regarding the ebay project? We are getting ready to do a Make A Wish fundraiser and this would be a great kick off to that campaign. I sell on eBay so don't need information there...just how you introduced it to kids...or any worksheets you handed out so I can get an idea of how to make this work for us. :)
