Interesting to see how loose gemstones is there on every list. I didnt think that people would actually purchase this over eBay in India.
Another interesting thing if you look at the eBay report is that US, UK, Australia all feature ‘salwar suits’ on the top items bought. For Canada it is sarees.
This is very surprising to me. I’m hoping that these figures actually reflect ALL purchases made on Ebay and not by Indians or some other thing.
Definitely a manipulated report just to advertisement funda. Ebay is well known for not disclosing its sales and other reports then why in india. Just to Fool indians.
^ Salwar Suites and selling gem stones could get to be a great business then on ebay
