The most accessed categories were:

- China
Other trending* items include:

- Stamps
We’re pleased to see such a wide spread of enquiries, and the numbers are steadily increasing.
This confirms our original premise that many people do not know instantly where best to sell their items. It does seem that the local auction house is not necessarily the first choice; some books don’t go to the local charity shop; and eBay is not the only game in town.
* How has “trending” weaselled its way into our vocabulary? Some of us would claim that it is a convenient synonym for “becoming popular” and reflecting the normal development of our language. Others would agree that it is a mutilation of English ( see www.urbandictionary.com/trending ) and another tiresome aspect of Twitter.
