eBay Update December 2009

Being so far away from home I nearly forgot to do an ebay update! This month on the UK eBay site the number of antiques offered for sale is up by almost 6% on November. On the UK site there are items 99,909 compared to 94,564 items for sale last month; this time last year there were around 85,000 items for sale so it's another big jump. On the US site the number of items listed as antiques has risen to 282,271 up from 246,414 in November – an massive 15% increase. This is by far an way the largest number of items offered for sale in the antiques catagory; in December last year, for example, there were a little over 233,000 items being offered.
