What’s Selling on eBay? Top 20 Products

September 5th, 2008 | Niche

Have you ever wondered what the top sellers on eBay are? Well here are the top 20 for the first half of August. All of these products had a 100% sell-through rate. The price ranges are from $354 (#1) to $158 (#20).

There are a lot of calculations that go into this list, but based on the success rate and average price, these are the tops.

There are several things that can help online retailers. Notice that not every keyword is a product per se. For example, #16 & #17 are both searches for warranties. But the warranties are within relatively specific categories. Whether you sell on Amazon, eBay, or your own site, you can see that a warranty is very important to shoppers looking for digital cameras and Garmin GPS systems.

Digging for Niche Products

This list is also a way to spot niche markets. The broad categories that stand out are: iPod, Garmin GPS, Laptops & Notebooks, and Digital Cameras. Few of the top products are the actual product, most are associated products or "long-tail" products. That's where you can start to focus in on niche markets.

In just twenty lines, looking at the search terms, along with the specific categories, you have a goldmine of information.
