This Spring, eBay.ca Helps Canadians Grow Global - April 3, 2003

Toronto, ON - Spring has sprung, and the experts at eBay.ca are sprouting with ideas to make your home and garden a lush oasis, with everything from rare plants and seeds to patio furniture and pools all available online at eBay.ca ( www.ebay.ca ). On eBay.ca, you can order everything you need from eBay's global community of over 61 million users to help make your backyard and your neighbours green, without ever having to leave home.

"eBay.ca is the place to go for all of your gardening and backyard needs," says Andrew Sloss, Home & Garden category manager, eBay.ca. "Not only can you find seeds and bulbs to plant, but you can also find backyard appliances, such as barbeques, hot tubs and outdoor lamps, to make your space more luxurious."

Dig In…
For those with a green thumb, eBay.ca has all the supplies you need to help your garden grow, including access to flowers, seeds and bulbs from across the globe. Been searching your local florist for authentic English Bluebells or Australian Chocolate Lilies? They're on eBay and sellers can ship to your door in time for spring planting.

Take it Outside…
Banish the winter blahs by rediscovering the joys of outdoor living. eBay.ca offers everything from dining canopies to hammocks, to watering cans and outdoor swing sets. Revitalize and reenergize by adding one or two new pieces to your outdoor space, bound to get you outside again in time to catch the first rays of spring.

"As Canadians we tend to hibernate throughout the long, cold winter," says Sloss. "It's time to revive ourselves by getting outside, and remembering that there is more than just one season in this country."
