How to Find the Top Selling Items on eBay

Knowing how to find the top selling items on eBay is an important skill for sellers who want to maximize their profits on the world's most popular marketing site. Millions of products change hands every day by being listed and sold there. Of those millions of products, a relatively small percentage are hot selling items.

Successful sellers find items to sell that are popular with buyers. In fact, some hot items are so popular with buyers that they find themselves amongst stiff competition to win the auctions of these hot products.

So how do you find the top selling items on eBay? The best - and most time consuming way - is to do research on the site and find the most popular products yourself. The way to do this is to use the advanced search feature and go through each category looking for hot items.

There are some fee-based websites that allow members to search sold listings on eBay, and some feature hot product lists. The eBay website itself offers Marketplace Research, a fee-based program that allows members to search specific products and obtain statistics about average pricing and completed sales.

eBay Pulse is a tool used by many sellers to find popular items on eBay. Pulse shows the top ten keyword searches for each category. Keep in mind that this includes searches only and does not include statistics about completed listings.

Another option is to pay someone who has already gathered research and found the most popular items among eBay buyers. Some people actually enjoy strolling the virtual streets of eBay and discovering the hottest products that sell the quickest and for the most money.

Those eBay sellers who make the most money do so by finding and selling the top selling items in hot, lucrative niches. They either do the research themselves or pay someone else to do the research for them.

Selling popular products is the most important factor when it comes to maximizing profits on eBay. Lots of sellers make money on the site, but those who earn the most are those who know how to find the top selling items on eBay.
