It’s a fact that a significant percentage of eBay sales are generated from holidays and special annual occasions. To help you get the most out of the big holiday spend, I’ve put together a quick marketing calendar that you can use to prepare for big cash-ins that come around each year. Pay close attention to November and December’s holidays and start planning for these now!
