My wife and I have been selling on eBay since 1999 and I have seeing heavier and heavier sales volume every holiday season for years now. What I find most interesting is that my “holiday sales” run into mid-January. I will get orders on the 10th or 15th from people who are doing late (yeah, really late) Christmas shopping. I loved them because I could charge a premium for expedited S&H.

Cheers,
Greg

Personally I think these kinds of numbers only happen before Christmas holidays. It can be possible for such patterns continue throughout the year, especially when going through times of economic slowdown.

Overall this year though spending has been down. I wonder if there is a difference that can been seen in net stats. If there was an spending met forecast there would be a net increase over all, and seen through out the coming years. You would have to decide what to do.

My ecommerce metrics have def been different this year. I’ve noticed better sales post-Christmas than normal.

Our sales were good this Christmas which confirms that procrastination is also strong in our industry.
Happy New Year

I help people who are thinking about going bankrupt, so my sales drop over Christmas.
New year is when I get my surge of Website hits….Happy New Year!

Sales have plummeted for me for the holidays, I guess more people are doing traditional shopping at the malls.

Wow that really makes me want to get into e-commerce. I feel like I should be getting something ready for next year’s holiday season. It seems like it could be even bigger than it was this year.

Now that Christmas is past, it will be interesting to see if this effect carries over into the post-holiday period. Personally, this is when I like to do a lot of shopping (with the Xmas rush subsiding, etc.); and I know I’m not alone. Wonder how the online shopping world will fare this year.
