October Same Store Sales

The ChannelAdvisor Same Store Sales October results are in and there were a couple of interesting trends that could indicate how the Q4 holiday season is going to shake out.

Results for 2009 so far:
Amazon led the pack (as usual) with 61% y/y growth - up from Septembers 55%
Overall at ChannelAdvisor we saw things pick up overall very nicely from the high single digits to 17% y/y.
eBay had a slight tick down to 4.73% from Septembers 5.1% - that's small enough that I don't think it's cause for any concern.
Comscore hasn't put out their October numbers, but is suspect they will be flat to down slightly.

The ChannelAdvisor SSS data represents the combined results of over 3000 retailers.
ChannelAdvisor's mix may be materially different from that of eBay, Amazon or other channels.
