Belle River, ON; Sooke, BC, and Kemptville, ON were named "tops in trading" by eBay Canada. For the first time, eBay Canada ranked Canadian online trading activity for an entire year, and smaller communities counted big. On a provincial level, the top three provinces of eBay activity in order were Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec.

Belle River, Ontario (N0R 1A0) was number one in terms of eBay trading, with a total of 1,294 individual buyers and active sellers (people who completed a transaction during 2007). The top-buying category for Belle River was identified as "car and truck parts," and "NHL hockey cards" was the community's top-selling category.

eBay Canada has released data as part of its eBay Canada's Community Counts initiative, designed to help understand online buying and selling behavior among Canadians. Information for the top 5,000 Canadian postal codes and other statistics can be found online.
