Selfie Sales Soar
With celebs all over the world, including Ellen DeGeneres and that photo, filling our newsfeeds with a variety of selfies or even belfies in the case of Kim Kardashian, sales of essential selfie equipment have soared on eBay over the past month.
The selfie cable is proving to be most popular amongst the photo snapping British public, with sales of the photo-perfecting item doubling in sales over the past month on eBay, the online marketplace where four smartphones are sold every minute.
Some of the best selfies might be getting a ‘helping hand’ given that sales of image editing software increased more than two-fold in the week following the Oscars.
And after the selfie, comes the belfie and thanks to Kim Kardashian and Cheryl Cole eBay has seen a 180% rise in the sale of full length mirrors in the UK as celeb wanabees perfect their belfies
