Bottom line though is if I wanted to buy something and and ebay seller had a good deal on it, I'd probably buy here too. Depends what people are after.
I agree - bought a pair of shoes on ebay yesterday - saved $30 and they'll be delivered to my door so saved from the crowds at shops.
From a selling point of view, not surprised sales have stopped (especially on handmade Christmas decorations, not too fussed, less to make next year). I'm only buying things online that aren't needed for Christmas and don't mind waiting till next year for delivery - I'm guessing the majority of buyers want things this week, so unless they can pick up locally, ebay will have to wait until new year heat waves when air-conditioned confinement breeds boredom and people start buying again.
Although people may be turning to ebay to sell unwanted gifts to help fund the cost of running the air con during heat waves...
