eBay India conducted an online poll over 45 days and users elected Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra as the eBay Style Diva for 2006. As a follow up, in typical eBay style, users can bid between August 10th and 19th for “a day on the sets with Priyanka Chopra”, with the proceeds going to a charity called Nanhi Kali.
Bidding began at Rs.15,000 and has reached Rs. 40,500 after 28 bids. The auction is being managed by Percept D’Mark, Priyanka Chopra’s agents. eBay India has a page for assisting similar charity auctions, while globally, eBay has a sub-site for charity called eBay Giving Works. eBay.in was last in the news for a case of seller-fraud, so this is a step towards recovering some lost brand equity.
