Christmas shopping is due to start earlier than ever this year as new research from Ebay Advertising reveals an unexpected consequence of the pandemic.
Ebay Advertising has published new research which found that 27 per cent of consumers plan on starting Christmas shopping earlier than they did last year, while 34 per cent say they have already bought Christmas related items.
The research also revealed that searches for “Christmas” or “xmas” on the online marketplace were up 44 per cent from April to May compared to the same period last year.
