Hiya gang! Hope you’re having some fun this summer. Because we sure are: nothing’s more fun for data geeks than seeing big changes or something unexpected. All our trend reports this month have had one or the other. And eBay has both!
eBay trending searches climbing highest fastest
Just like last month, eBay has four climbers this month. “Climber” is what we call a Top 20 keyword that wasn’t on the previous month’s Top 20. Out of the most popular products trending on eBay, these are currently the hottest.
Ranked 1st: “nintendo switch 2,” up from #25
2nd: “switch 2,” up from #32
10th: “grow a garden,” up from #40
18th: “switch,” up from #82
As a rule, turnover of the top eBay searches is low, verging on stagnant. Yet as we reported last month, eBay was the first to have “labubu” make its Top 20. (This month, Etsy and Amazon have followed suit.)
And this month, we see some climbers likely to be with us for some time to come. We’re referring of course to the searches related to the Nintendo Switch 2; it was released in June. But while Amazon has the identical top two searches, the difference is that theirs won’t be there long. Both will sink quickly, thereafter only making Amazon’s Top 20 for Black Friday, and December, maybe Prime Day.
That is not how it goes on eBay, though; it’s the opposite. We bet at least one of these “switch 2” searches is here to stay on eBay’s Top 20. Without further ado then, let’s get a look at June’s No. 1.
Ranked 1st: “nintendo switch 2,” up from #25
The product’s actual launch was in early June, but preorders were made available two months ahead. We covered the frenzy on eBay in our April trend report.
We’d been so eager to see Amazon’s post-launch results for June. As it turned out though, Amazon searches weren’t the screaming high we’d looked forward to. How quickly Switch 2 sold out (within four days) was widely reported; word got around. On Amazon, searches in June were up a meager 13% over April’s.
Different story on eBay! “Nintendo switch 2” searches were up 101%! Shoppers hoping some of those sold-out Switch 2s might now be listed on eBay. As indeed we’re sure they were, and that customers were willing to pay scalper prices for them.
Because yes, the long-awaited, fanatically-anticipated Switch 2 is that popular. Which is why, for the foreseeable future, Switch 2 searches will be on eBay’s Top 20. So, to save you that bit of reading time, we can safely skip climber No. 2, “switch 2.” But let’s take a quick look at “switch,” since some of those searches could be for the OG.
Ranked 18th: “switch,” up from #82
Hard to know how many of these searches could be for the original Switch.
That model remains popular. Before Switch 2 was announced in January 2025, the lowest “switch” searches fell was 31,000+ a month. And even now with Switch 2 out, it’s still popular, for its extensive game library, portability – and price. Especially when purchased used, which of course is where eBay outshines the rest.
But some of that June 2025 spike you see on the Search Trend chart is for the Switch 2. Compared with June 2024, when Switch 2 was just an industry rumor, “switch” searches are up 185%. Still, if you’ve got a used Switch to sell, now’s the time to list it. Full-sized and complete, we’ve read you can get up to $250 for one.
And now, let’s move on to the climber that’s making its eBay Top 20 debut.
Ranked 10th: “grow a garden,” up from #40
“Grow a Garden” is a multiplayer farming game that was released on Roblox in late March. Let’s have a look.
Holy cow! And not just the spike in searches either. For those of you on a small screen, that Average CTR (click-through rate) is 138%. Astonishingly high for eBay. And when calculated for the month of June, it’s a stunning 150%. In fact, it’s the first monthly CTR that high we’ve seen on any eBay Top 20.
“Grow a garden” is a phenom, alright. Just three days ago, it got widespread media attention when 21.9+ million people were all playing at once on July 19. Such fun to see something take off like this. And that 150% June CTR: talk about purchase intent!
Tip! eBay trending searches and purchase intent
Are any of you new to selling online? Here’s a highly useful tip!
On ecommerce sites, click-through rates (CTRs) reflect how many times shoppers clicked listings in their search results. Therefore, CTRs are an indicator of “purchase intent.” That is, customers who are more likely there to buy, as opposed to the people just browsing.
Yes, keeping up with the top eBay searches is necessary. But for insight into which products are selling best on eBay now, look to their click-through rates. So next, let’s see what June’s Top 500 keywords have to say about that, shall we?
Roundup! Top eBay trending searches with 70%+ CTRs now
If you’re here to find out what to sell on eBay, this is for you. Using our latest full month of data, we’ve calculated which of these top eBay searches have the highest monthly CTRs. So, whatever their 12-mo Average CTRs are, these eBay trending items show the most purchase intent now.
Before we begin though, a word to the wise. Some of these may violate eBay’s terms of use, or are otherwise prohibited or tricky to sell. And while most trademarked products are okay to resell there, each listing will need to comply with eBay guidelines. So, especially if you’re new to a niche, please take a good look before you leap.
Ranking #1 through #100
Note: For better readability, we’ll only shout out individual CTRs of 100% and up. That is sky high for eBay! But all qualifiers will have at least 70%. And as you’ll see, eBay CTRs even that high are exceptional.
Usually there are no qualifiers in eBay’s Top 20. Which is why #10 grow a garden’s 150% CTR (as high as they go) is such a lovely surprise. For perspective, the second-highest CTR in June’s Top 20 is #11 gaming pc’s; it’s just 67%.
Moving on to the rest of eBay’s Top 100, the very next one is another perfect 150%: #29 roblox account. And next, ranked #37-38, a pair: 3070 and camera, which has 150%. (Cameras and camera gear often make eBay Roundups.) Let’s pause for a quick peek at “camera.”
Ranked #38, “camera;” June CTR: 150%
Only once in 15 months have searches for “camera” dropped below 50,000/mo. And this past March, it got over 100,000.
If you’re looking for what to sell on eBay, this niche looks well worth researching.
Returning to our Roundup, next are #44 ps4; #53 iphone 14; and #56 thinkpad. Then at #69 is grow a garden roblox; it has 126%. At #80 is switch oled, followed by #89 iphone 15 pro; #93 airpods; and iphone 14 pro.
From #101-200
First here are #103 fortnite account and #118 tv, then #125 sydney sweeney with a June CTR of 101%. We have to jump ahead to #142 for the next qualifier; it’s nintendo switch lite. At #152 is lot, then #158 raccoon grow a garden. Then nothing until the last two in June’s Top 200: #187 ipod classic and #189 milwaukee.
Ranking #201-300
At #203 is disco bee, followed by #208 rog ally x and #211 sony a6400. Then we have two high flyers in a row! At #220 is dell precision with 150% for June; #239 steal a brainrot has 149%.
At #244 we have raccoon, then at #248 is pokemon psa 10 with 118%. Another pokemon qualifier comes right behind: #263 pokemon lot. And then we have two more perfect 150%ers: #265 nintendo 64 and #272 coins. Let’s pause here to take a quick look at “coins.”
Ranked #272 “coins;” June CTR: 150%
That June CTR is even more remarkable in light of this.
For anyone reading along on a small screen, its Average CTR is just 45%. Granted, for eBay that’s far from awful, but what the heck got it up so high in June? Especially given that just 30 days before, its monthly CTR was lower than its 12-mo average: 42%. Huh; we’re stumped.
And now back to our Roundup for #276 mm2; #281 psp 3000, and #293 disney with 114%.
Next, ranked #301-400
Off to a fine start here with #304 iphone 15 unlocked (150%) and #313 dragonfly grow a garden (125%). Next, three qualifiers: #317 macbook air m2; #326 pokemon platinum; #366 s23 ultra; #372 final fantasy has 106%. Then there’s a pair at #374-375: macbook pro m4 and logitech g29; the latter has 117%.
Up next, another pair: #386-387 xbox one controller (150%!) and zippo. And the last of this group is #391 crocs with 114%.
And finally, from #401-500
Here, the first is #404 case; it’s followed by high flyer #413 hat which has a perfect 150%. Next: #415 macbook air m4; #419 sony a7iii; and #425 labubu macaron. Then yet another “grow a garden” search: #431 racoon grow a garden; even misspelled, it’s got 105%.
Next: #434 dsi; #450 gamecube controller; #456 wood; and #460 sp5der hoodie with 116%. Then another 150% June CTR goes to #466 psp go. Right after it is #467 robux – and that’s it for this month’s Roundup.
We hope some of these prove to be profitable leads for you.
