Hot hot hot: Home & living number crunch
Today we thought we'd take a look around the 150,000+ listings that comprise the Home & living category. There's an enormous variety in there: everything from wine to flights, to tarot cards, to spa pools, to rose petals for your wedding.
We did a couple of things: we rummaged into some of the specific areas proving popular for buyers browsing and searching, and we also put the magnifying glass on the areas with the highest sell-through rates. (We excluded pets and furniture to keep things as diverse and interesting as we could - head over here if you want to see the 'Most searched dogs'.)
Probably the most eye-catching statistics to emerge were the impressive numbers around firewood - in the past month or so more than 2000 sales have been completed and 50% of all listings have sold! In terms of searches, it was a bit of a surprise that "Steam mop", "Moving overseas", "frangipani" and "shabby chic" were all so high up the list.
Don't forget that every time you spend $25 on anything in the Home & living category in August, you're in the mix to win one of 5 iPads too...
