These include newspapers, stamps, diaries, and posters, which are sold across the globe, such as in the United States, Britain, and Canada, but also in Morocco, Mauritius, Qatar, the Maldives, Greenland, Fiji, Lebanon, and Somalia. Approximately half of all items were sold to Greece, Estonia, Ukraine, and South Africa.
One of the most expensive items on sale is a stamp from 1950, which includes the original post office symbols of a camel, the Negev, and a drawing of Eilat. Up for sale in the US, the item costs approximately 50,000 shekels ($15,000).
Another pricy item is a fight log of a Jewish American IDF Air Force soldier for NIS 25,931 ($7,700), as well as a rare Independence Day declaration poster dating back to 1948 at a cost of NIS 16,412 ($4,800).
According to statistics, over 20,000 Israelis have begun selling products on eBay since March 2019, joining the tens of thousands who had already done so. A dramatic increase in the export by Israeli sellers has also been reported.
