eBay ousts FutureShop According To RedFlagDeals Community

Findings from RedFlagDeals’ Annual Survey Highlighting Online Shopping Trends

Toronto, ON - December 15, 2021 – A recent survey conducted by the online bargain shopping gurus at RedFlagDeals.com reveals that over 86 per cent of respondents intend to do some, if not all, of their holiday shopping online this year. Men and women are both actively shopping online, with 91 per cent of males and 85 per cent of females planning to shop the internet this holiday season.

The survey also reveals where people are shopping. According to the RedFlagDeals survey, the top 10 Canadian online shopping websites have changed from last year, most noticeably with eBay taking over top spot (last year’s rankings in brackets):

1. eBay.ca/eBay.com (2)
2. FutureShop.ca (1)
3. Amazon.ca (3)
4. NCIX.com (4)
5. BestBuy.ca (6)
6. Chapters.Indigo.ca (5)
7. CanadianTire.ca (8)
8. TigerDirect.ca (--)
9. Sears.ca (7)
10. Dell.ca (--)

“Canadians are eager to buy online and eBay’s success can be largely attributed to the fact that you can find just about anything on eBay, says Derek Szeto, Founder of RedFlagDeals.com. “As Canadians become more comfortable online, they will also become more comfortable buying things outside of the books and technology items that are usually associated with online shopping. The phenomenal growth this year of our online bargain shopping community at RedFlagDeals.com is a testament to just how popular online shopping is becoming.”

This survey was completed by over 6,900 RedFlagDeals.com visitors between November 2nd and December 2nd 2005 in commemoration of RedFlagDeals’ five-year anniversary. The survey also determined that RedFlagDeals is hitting the mark with its visitors, receiving high approval ratings in all aspects of its site design, content, and ease of use. More survey results can be found at http://www.redflagdeals.com/stats.

RedFlagDeals.com will feature a special Boxing Week section this year, with the most extensive online listing of Boxing Week sales in Canada.
