Free Auction Tools provider Auctionlotwatch.co.uk announced today its annual predictions for what will be the most popular Christmas toys on eBay UK this year. Based on industry source predictions & current searches the
list highlights some past favourites.
With spending more cautious than ever this year savvy shoppers are increasingly looking for online bargains. A recent survey by the Co-operative Bank found that 75% of UK adults intend to spend less on Christmas 2011
compared to last year. In addition to cutting back in certain areas shopping parterns are also changing with a distinct move away
from bricks-and-mortar shops to purchasing online.
Whilst high street spending is expected to fall by 2.3% this year in comparison so far internet, mail order and phone sales are up 11.5 per cent on a year ago.
As an example eBay UK has stated that 10 years ago, Britons spent 1.8 billion pounds shopping online, and in 2011, they've spent 31.5 billion online in the first half of this year alone a massive
increase by anyone's standards. eBay is predicting that 2011's busiest online shopping day will fall on Sunday, December 4th, when an expected 5.8 million shoppers will log onto its UK
site. eBay quoted a YouGov Plc. survey that showed 43% of this year's Christmas shoppers will buy all their gifts in less than six hours, and 37% will visit fewer than five high street
stores over the holiday shopping period.
Listed below are the expected Top 10 Christmas Toys - to avoid disappointment make sure you do your Christmas shopping early.
