This past Sunday (December 5), was the busiest shopping day of the year on eBay UK, and, as reported by Chris Dawson of TameBay, it broke all the records by a considerable margin.

More than 5 million shoppers logged on yesterday making 1.4 million purchases. Sales were up a massive 18% compared with last year with 17 gifts being purchased every second of the day…

… International sales were up 11% as buyers from overseas headed to eBay UK. With the exchange rate in their favour sellers willing to ship overseas are cashing in and if you don’t currently ship outside the UK it’s time to strongly consider doing so. With UK still in economic turmoil making the most of the weak pound and overseas markets is one of the easiest ways to increase sales.
