It may not surprise you to learn that Christmas collectibles present far better prospects for eBay sellers on eBay.com than any other eBay country site.
This is because Americans are big fans of Christmas, past and present, and The United States represents the world's biggest market for Christmas collectibles, from recent and modern times.
So you will find hundreds of sellers on eBay marketing seasonal collectibles, of many different types, across a wide price range, which were created for Christmas from many years gone by to Christmas still to come.
There's a big solid market for Christmas collectibles with some items selling all year round and representing high price items that always attract big spending bidders. One such example is Christmas ornaments (often for the Christmas tree) by Christopher Radko whose mouth-blown, Hand Painted glass ornaments first appeared on the market in 1986 and have since grown to more than 10,000 designs.
Mass produced machine made designs rarely feature as record price breakers, unlike those that are delicate, preferably old, almost certainly limited edition, Hand Made or at least hand-decorated, and definitely in 'as new' condition.
I'm going to suggest you sell all your potentially valuable Christmas collectibles on the American site, Bay.com, where Christmas Collectibles fall naturally under 'Collectibles > Holiday, Seasonal', of which 'Christmas' is a major sub-category, which further breaks down into collecting periods: Christmas: Current (1991-Now), Christmas: Modern (1946-1990), Christmas: Vintage (Pre-1946).
This breakdown into periods is not just to save buyers sorting through many thousands of items overall categorised as 'Christmas Collectibles' to find just a few that interest them. Those dated categories are primarily a sign of a really popular buying and selling area on eBay, which is broken down to save time and help buyers better enjoy the search experience, and meaning it's a great place also to focus your selling efforts.
Arguably eBay's category datelines are ambiguous, and many people class 'vintage' as synonymous with 'antique' which is not the case here. 'Antique', technically, describes something at least one hundred years old, but it matters not and, for our purposes, we'll talk about 'Modern' and 'Vintage' using that 1946 dividing line.
