eBay's having a birthday and you could go home with a loot bag full of prizes, including three great eBay shopping sprees and one of 10 silver Apple iPod mini digital music players! Starting on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 and running through Friday, July 1, 2005, be sure to enter the Big 5 and 10 Birthday Giveaway Contest, part of our month-long Big 5 and 10 Birthday celebrations.

From June 22 to July 1, 2005, all you need to do is place a bid or make a Buy It Now (BIN) purchase to be eligible to win one of these great prizes:

• One Grand Prize of a $5,000 CDN eBay shopping spree
• One of 2 Secondary Prizes of a $500 CDN eBay shopping spree
• One of 10 silver Apple iPod mini digital music players - one given away for each day of the contest

Please note that your entry into the contest is not automatic – once you've placed a bid or made a BIN purchase, you need to go to the contest page to place your entry and answer a skill-testing question.

Each night, we'll select one lucky winner who will receive a silver Apple iPod mini. Each morning, the winner's User ID will be posted on the contest page, so be sure to check back every day. It could be YOUR name in the winner's circle!

You'll be allowed to enter the contest once each day for the 10-day contest period, provided you've bid on an item or made a BIN purchase on the same day you enter the contest. For example, if you bid on Monday, June 27, 2005, that bid qualifies you to enter the contest on Monday, June 27, 2005 only. If you wish to enter the contest again on Tuesday, June 28, you'll have to place a bid or make a BIN purchase on a different item.

Each qualified entry gives you another chance at one of the iPod mini digital music players, one of the Secondary Prizes or the Grand Prize shopping sprees. Please read the rules and regulations and the FAQ for all the details.

Be sure to enter the Big 5 and 10 Birthday Giveaway Contest every day. Good luck!
