Uttar Pradesh has the fourth largest base of sellers selling on eBay globally from India, after Maharashtra, Delhi & Tamil Nadu.
II English speaking countries are a large market for global trade
English speaking countries like UK, USA, Australia and Canada are natural markets for Indian sellers due to the ease of communication. However, enterprising Indian sellers have also made inroads into European markets such as Germany, France & Italy.

eBay India sellers sell an article of clothing or accessory globally every 6 minutes while 9 pieces of jewellery sell every hour. A home furnishing item sells every 10 minutes while a coin or a stamp sells every 15 minutes. Interestingly, 14 musical instruments sell globally every hour.
