Comparing buying between months... on a day-to-day basis.... is a difficult option.
eBay runs on a 30 days cycle..... Month can be 30, 31 days.... or 28 days and sometimes 29 days
November 1 started on a Tuesday.... December 1 started on a Thursday... January 1 will be a Sunday.
People buy on a weekly cycle..... a 7 day cycle which differs each month.
Pay day.... Some get paid on the 15, some on the 30 and some on both the 15 and 30 twice a month.
and then ... special days....
November .... the beginning started immediately with a carryover from Back Friday.... Remembrance Day, while December had a lead up to Christmas followed by Boxing Day... Boxing week as it is today... with a lead up to New Year's Day.
Comparing one month to the next month should be an overall comparison... not day by day
eBay's 30 days.
4 weekly cycles which differ in relation to the 30 day cycle... and then pay day which also differs in relation to the 30 day cycle.
And the like the last few days..... our blizzard in Winnipeg that started December 25... and ended about noon Boxing day.... Travel was difficult on Boxing day...... fortunately we now have boxing week sales.for many stores...
The city was very... very quiet during the evening of December 25..... No city noise.
There should be a very broad comparison...month to month, and then year to year..... quarter to quarter.over each year
