For the second month in a row, eBay has above-average turnover in its Top 20. Last month, there were five climbers – searches that hadn’t made its Top 20 the month before. This month, we’ve got four, but one of them is a “screamer.” Our pet name for a search that couldn’t even crack in the Top 1000 the month before. Up until 2025, screamers were rare on eBay, but we saw a record crop last year: seven. Nearly all of those were related to hard-to-get tech though, which isn’t the case for this one.
Ranked 2nd: “parts;” screamer
Huh! Month on Month, “parts” is up by a stupefying 19,881%! That has to be an eBay record. As with all single-mo spikes though, hold off. See where it goes from here; it could sink just as quickly as it rose.
Top eBay searches climbing highest fastest
In current rank order, here are February’s five climbers.
Ranked 2nd: “parts,” screamer; didn’t crack January’s Top 1000
16th: “mini pc,” up from #33 in January
18th: “rtx 3080,” up from #27
20th: “mac mini,” up from #80
As we’ve been reporting, explosive AI growth has caused a global memory shortage, dubbed “RAMageddon.” Nvidia graphics cards are in short supply, prices rising significantly above MSRP. Which is just the sort of perfect storm that drives up searches on eBay: hard-to-get tech + high demand. And purchases, too: “rtx 3080” has an above-average click-through rate (CTR) for the month.
As for “mini pc” and “mac mini,” we’re not sure either has made an eBay Top 20 before. Both are compact desktop computers, and they’ve been around for ages. In 2025 though, industry experts observed a trend in popularity. Let’s have a quick look at both.
Ranked 16th: “mini pc,” up from #33
We checked: “mini pc” did make one other Top 20; it ranked 17th in December. And it came somewhat close twice, ranking #33 both times. Now let’s compare it with our other mini desktop computer.
Ranked 20th: “mac mini,” up from #80
Turns out this is indeed a Top 20 debut for “mac mini.” It’s at a 15-mo high now, with about 3,000 more searches than it had at its previous high last April. Both “mini pc” and “mac mini” searches climbed that month. But while “mini pc” then soared into 17th place in December, “mac mini” ranked #99.
And compared with “mini pic,” it also lags in terms of purchase intent. Especially its current purchase intent; “mac mini” has just 26%. Even for eBay, that is well below average. It tells us that most of eBay’s “mac mini” shoppers are still in research mode.
Tip: eBay trending searches and purchase intent
For those of you who are new to selling online, this will be a useful tip.
On ecommerce sites, click-through rates (CTRs) reflect how many times shoppers clicked individual listings in their search results. Therefore, CTRs are an indicator of ‘purchase intent.’ These are people more likely searching with the intention to buy, as opposed to those just browsing.
You’ll want to keep up with the top eBay searches, yes. You never know when something old or new might start trending on eBay. But for insight into what’s selling best on eBay now, look to their click-through rates. It’s why we end all our trend reports with a Monthly CTR Roundup. You’ll see which of the products currently trending on eBay have had the highest CTRs most recently.
Roundup! eBay trending searches with 70%+ CTRs now
Here looking for ideas of what to sell on eBay? Then this is for you! Your insider access to which of the Top 500 keywords trending on eBay show the strongest current purchase intent. Keep in mind, these calculations are drawn exclusively from our most recent full month of data. Which means that whatever their 12-mo CTRs, these products are what’s selling best on eBay now.
Before we begin, our usual word to the wise. Some of these items violate eBay’s terms of use or are otherwise prohibited. And some are just tricky. Most trademarked products are okay to resell there, but listings need to comply with eBay and brand guidelines. Or you might have to jump through extra hoops (e.g., the Authenticity Guarantee). So, especially if you’re new to a niche, look before you leap.
Ranking #1-100
For readability, we’ll only shout out individual CTRs if they’re 100%+ (wildly high!). But all these qualifiers will have at least 70% for the month. And as you’ll see, CTRs even that high are exceptional on eBay. Certainly, any products here that interest you will be worth adding to a Keyword List for further research.
This month, eBay has two qualifiers in its Top 20: #6 macbook pro and #10 gaming pc. The latter has 101% for the month. Moving on, there’s another high flyer next; it’s #24 ps vita with 100%. Next is #31 xbox series s, followed by #49 camera.
#31: “camera;” January CTR: 83%
Wow, we don’t often see any 12-mo CTR that high: 121%! For eBay, that is phenomenal. We shouldn’t be surprised: “camera” a Roundup frequent flyer; those high monthly CTR scores add up. So, for those of you here to find out what’s selling best on eBay now, here you go.
Resuming our Roundup, at #53 is 3ds xl, followed by #56 airpods, and #65 wii u. (We featured “wii u” in November’s eBay Roundup.) Then we have #67 ddr5 ram 32gb, #71 ps5 console, #83 monitor, and #93 nintendo 3ds.
Ranked from #101-200
First here we have #104 pokemon psa 10, #110 ascended heroes, and #122 pc case.
#122: “pc case;” February CTR: 82%
Any of you making these? Or have one you no longer need because you’re switching to minis, lol? Looks like PC cases are selling well on eBay these days.
Our next qualifier is #126 is lenovo, then at #145-146 there’s a pair: external hard drive and crt tv. A high flyer is next; it’s #158 nintendo switch oled with 128% for the month. Then we have #161 ipod nano, followed by #192 airpods max. It has our first perfect score of the month: 150%. Last month, we featured “airpods pro;” it had a monthly CTR of 150%, too. And the last in the Top 200 is another airpods search, #197 airpods pro 3.
Next, ranking #201-300
Straight out of the gate at #201-202, a pair: shoes and mac studio. From there though, we have to drop down to #234 for our next qualifier, oneplus 13. Then at #239 is gift card.
#239: “gift card;” February CTR: 74%
Now, “gift card” is no CTR high flyer. But searches are up, and we aren’t sure we’ve ever seen it make a Roundup before. Also, unlike the other marketplaces we cover here, eBay does allow you to sell gift cards. Sellers must strictly adhere to eBay guidelines. But we didn’t know it was even possible. So in case that’s news to you too, now you know. (No idea how difficult it might be in practice though. Seems unlikely they’d make it so easy that anyone could do it.)
Back on the Roundup, next up is #256 dell precision, followed by #275 bmw; it has 107%. And just two more qualifiers in the Top 200: #282 nintendo switch lite, and #299 snowboard.
Ranking from #301-400
Off like a shot at #301 is porsche 911, followed by #305 tubano drums, and #309 adopt me. Skip one and there’s #311 pc gaming; it has 130% for the month. Then there’s #313 gtx 1650, #322 iphone 13 mini, and #324 yugioh. “Yugioh” was another high flyer we featured in last month’s Roundup with 140%. Now it has 142%.
There’s a trio at #328-330: motorcycle, new nintendo 3ds xl, and pixel 8 pro. “New nintendo 3ds xl” is another we featured in last month’s Roundup; it had 150% then too. (Makes you wonder, how many of these in new condition can there be? They came out in 2012! That said, even New In Box / factory-sealed exist and the best place to look is eBay. It’s another of eBay’s strong suits.
But what do you make of this next high flyer?
#337: “battery;” February CTR: 150%
Back in January, its monthly CTR was a measly 26%. Maybe the subsequent buying frenzy was prompted by the record-breaking storms we’ve had so far this year. January’s “Winter Storm Fern” reportedly caused a million+ customers to lose power. Maybe everybody decided they’d better stock up on batteries before the next one. Hopefully before February’s blizzard that left 600,000+ without electricity in the Northeast.
Or maybe batteries for snowblowers? In Keyword Tool, we sorted battery’s related searches to see which are trending highest now. Right below No. 1 “battery” is “ryobi 40v battery.” Those can power a snowblower. Ranked third was “dewalt 20v battery;” those are used to power cordless tools. Ditto the 4th-ranked keyword, “milwaukee m18 battery.” Maybe being snowed in prompted people to catch up on home improvement projects.
Who knows; let’s get back to our Roundup. At #344-345 are 7900 xtx and gameboy color, followed by #347 royale high; it has 121%. Next are #356 shirt, #363-364 hat and airsoft, and #377 sony wh1000xm5.
Finally, ranking #401-500
At #406-407 are two more from Sony: sony a7 iii and sony wh1000xm6. And there’s another pair at #418-419: pokemon binder and sony a7iv. “Pokemon binder” has 150%.
#418: “pokemon binder;” February CTR: 150%
“Pokemon” was eBay’s No. 1 search in 2025. And “pokemon cards” ranked 9th. So we can see why lots of eBay customers would need Pokemon binders. The only surprise here is why “pokemon binder” doesn’t make every Roundup, right? Yet it’s another we don’t recall ever seeing before.
At its 15-mo peak back in May, “pokemon binder” also had a monthly 150% CTR. But eBay’s overall search volume was much higher that month; “pokemon binder” ranked #506. Which meant it just missed qualifying for May’s Roundup. Well, from now on, we’ll keep an eye out for it. Because at least twice in 12 months, this product has been among eBay’s top sellers.
And now back once more to this month’s Roundup. Next up is #422 am5 motherboard with a current CTR of 109%. Then we have #432 thinkpad x1 carbon, followed by the pair at #460-461 airpods pro and chanel. We featured “airpods pro” in last month’s Roundup. It had 150% then and it does again for this month.
Next there’s #468 ipad air 5th generation, #474 desktop computers, and #482-483 macbook m1 and macbook air m2. Both are high flyers. At #485 is canon camera, then at #489-490, another pair: 1660 super and gaming keyboard. We have two high flyers at #492-493: iphone 15 pro unlocked and robux. And the last for this month is #495 dvd player.
We hope some of these will prove to be profitable leads for you.
