It also reported that 1 million items were sold at the first hour of the 11-11 event.

Shoppers spent 205 million minutes on the site.

Sold were at least 13 million diapers, 240,000 pairs of sneakers, 200,000 toys and games and 10,000 pieces of luggage. Shoppers used at least 170 million vouchers.

The numbers, however, pale in comparison with the record set by Chinese online seller Alibaba, which had reported sales of more than $30 billion in just 24 hours during “Singles Day.”
