eBay Instant Sale is a new, straight-forward tool for consumers to sell or recycle old electronics. In just a few steps, you can visit http://www.ebay.com/instantsale, identify your gadget and answer a few questions about its condition. You’ll then get an offer and if the price sounds right, just print the free prepaid shipping label, stick the item in the mail and wait to receive payment through PayPal.

If the item doesn’t have a resale value, you will still get a free shipping label and we will work with our sellers to responsibly recycle it. Whether it can be re-sold or recycled, our goal is to help keep harmful e-waste out of landfills, not to mention preventing the need for new gadgets to be produced and shipped overseas, which is a carbon intensive process with a significant environmental impact.

Read all about it over on the eBay Green Team blog. Great stuff!

Cheers,
RBH
