Enter eBay's Seller Challenge for Chance to Win $25,000

Submit a business plan and video and you might win $25K. I got a heads up about this new contest and checked it out. There are also tips for writing a business plan on the page, which I think is great because business plans are so important for entrepreneurs...or so I've been told. More info:
