While Ithaca may not be the most bustling town in the world, it has certainly been quite active lately, at least on the World Wide Web. An eBay study done earlier this year found that eBay sellers in the Ithaca area had the most international sales of any U.S. ZIP code.
Based on the online marketplace’s data, the majority of Ithaca’s international sales in the first three months of the year were to Canada. Other nations across the globe purchasing from the City include the United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, French Polynesia and several others.
According to Jim Griffith, dean of eBay education, the results of the study were primarily per capita and were not skewed by demographics.
