eBay home resale does not sit in a vacuum. Furniture, lighting, decor and kitchen ride the same demand as the broader home-furnishings market and the long shift of retail spending online, so it helps to read the eBay numbers against the macro backdrop.
U.S. furniture and home furnishing store retail runs around $11B a month, off its late-2023 peak near $12.7B as buyers trimmed big-ticket home spending, which pushes more bargain-hunting and resale demand onto marketplaces like eBay.
U.S. e-commerce sales have grown about 2.8x since 2018 to over $300B a quarter, so more of that home demand keeps moving to online resale channels like eBay every year.
On eBay, ZIK tracked an estimated 3.3 million home products sold in the last 30 days, clearing roughly 30% sell-through against about 11.2 million live listings, the largest listing pool of any category we track.
Segment is the divider: lighting drives the most volume and clears fastest near 31%, furniture and rugs command the highest prices at $404 and $363 but move slowly, and curtains and storage offer the best balance of demand and low competition.
