eBay Survey Finds Returns and ReGifting Trending Upwards
According to the third annual Holiday Re-Gifting Survey commissioned by e-commerce company, eBay, a significant increase of Americans believe they will either return, or ”re-gift” holiday items received, this season.
According to the report, 57 percent of the vast majority of Americans, will receive holiday presents they aren’t fond of. Sixty-nine percent of Americans believe they will ”re-gift” and that it is socially acceptable, while 49 percent felt it was acceptable to secretly unload unwanted gifts. In fact, 34 percent said they are likely to do it themselves this year, versus the reported 21 percent from last year. Of those respondents who said they plan to dispose of an unwanted present this year, 40 percent said they would sell it on eBay to help offset their holiday expenses.
One key reason disposing of unwanted gifts is popular: people are getting away with it. The survey found that 85 percent say they have never been caught in the act. However, about one-third of all respondents admitted they have knowingly received a re-gifted item.
