Post-Christmas Discount Day Lifts Listings on eBay
Friday, December 29, 2006
Auctioneer's 15-cent listing day attracts 5 million new auctions
The discount listing day eBay offered on Wednesday netted the company some big rewards, with a 56% increase in total listings posted that day, according to Ina Steiner at AuctionBytes.com. Citing data compiled by MedVed (which has tracked eBay auction listing data since 1999), Steiner notes that at the start of business on December 27, eBay had fewer than 9 million listings. By the end of the day that toal had jumped to 14 million. She notes that this increase is well below the 78% jump in listings eBay enjoyed from last year's post-Christmas promotion.
