There's some buzz today about the size of the travel vertical in the overall ecommerce picture. Indeed.
Last night I was lucky enough to sit with two eBay'ers at dinner. They asked us to guess what was the #1 category for them by items sold. Trying to be extra clever I guessed sports card collectibles. Someone else just guessed "collectibles." According to them, the right answer is apparel! When I proceeded to tell the first half of an off-color joke about used clothing, they told me they'd have to tell me a funny story... but not in the restaurant. Never got that one out of them. :)
And according to this same "research," the biggest item for eBay by total dollars spent is automotive (eBay Motors).
That reminded me: Google recently had a breakfast seminar on the trends in automotive sales & marketing online, in Toronto. What are they up to?
So there's your biggie verticals roundup!
