Yep, we’re back again with the latest eBay trending searches. So, why not let eRank data geeks take the guesswork out of what to sell on eBay? First, we’ll show you which of this month’s Top 20 keywords have been climbing fastest. Then we’ll analyze what the Top 500 tell us about what’s selling best on eBay now.
Check out yesterday‘s eBay Top 100, and what’s popular on Amazon, Etsy, Google Shopping, and dozens of other marketplaces. Discover global trends, view by country, by month – up to you!

Just two here that weren’t in last month’s Top 20, including one climber we’ve been expecting for months. Because back in February, “needoh” hit Amazon’s Top 20. (Which takes some doing – at least 350,000+ searches, typically.) And it’s continued to climb ever since; currently, “needoh” is Amazon’s No. 2 search!
Now, as a rule, if a product’s gone viral and gotten hard to get, shoppers flock to eBay. But until now, that just hasn’t been the case with Needoh.
Ranked 16th: “needoh,” up from #66
It’s always exciting for us data geeks to see anything new make eBay’s Top 20. Like Labubu last May. Of the three top marketplaces, eBay was the first to debut “labubu” in its Top 20. Etsy joined in the fun the following month, and then Amazon the month after. With Needoh, it’s been the reverse. (But Needoh hasn’t been as big on Etsy as it has on Amazon either.)
Top eBay searches climbing highest fastest
As mentioned, this month eBay has just two climbers.
Ranked 16th: “needoh,” up from #66
19th: “xbox series x,” up from #21
As for the two shopper searches that dropped out of the Top 20? Formerly 18th-ranked “lego” is now #31, and “pc” sank from 17th to #27. There’s one big difference between these two though. The monthly CTR for “pc” has actually gone up, from 44% in March to its current 59%. That is well above average for eBay. Whereas poor “lego” had a pitiful 0.9(!) CTR for March, which has sunk still lower to 0.8 for April.
#31: “lego,” down from 18th in March
“Lego” searches are at a 15-mo low now. So we did a little digging. Calculated for 2025, “lego” had an average CTR of 36%. March and April 2026 are what drove its 12-mo CTR to its current low. Those below-zero CTRs signify a decided lack of current purchase intent. Here’s a quick explainer.
Top eBay searches and purchase intent
If you’re new to selling online, this will be useful to know.
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 what’s trending on eBay, yes. You never know what might crop up, like Labubu or this month’s Needoh. But a high search count does not mean that shoppers are buying. This is especially true on eBay. Of the three marketplaces we cover here, the top eBay searches consistently have the most tire kickers.
So, for insight into what’s selling best on eBay now, look to their click-through rates. It’s why we end these 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
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 are showing the strongest purchase intent. Note that these calculations are based exclusively on 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.
For readability, we’ll only shout out individual CTRs above 100%. 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. Any products here that interest you will be worth adding to a Keyword List for further research.
Ranking #1-100
We featured No. 1 pokemon in last month‘s Roundup; its March CTR had more than doubled, from 49% to 113%! Since then, it’s dropped to 108% – still sky high for eBay though.
And “pokemon” is the only qualifier in this month’s Top 20 – but! While #16 needoh has just 45% for the month, have a gander at #165 nee doh.
#165 “nee doh,” April CTR: 150%
Compared with 16th-ranked “needoh,” searches for “nee doh” are 70% fewer for April. But who cares, we would much rather have these CTRs: “nee doh” has a 12-mo average of 107% to needoh’s 48%. As for its April CTR, 150% is as high as they go.
And now, let’s get back to where we were. Next up on our Roundup: #38 psp, #58 xbox 360, #65 iphone 13 pro max, and #69 apple watch. Then we have #74 rtx 5070, #86 iphone 17 pro, and #88 airpods; the latter has 109%.
Ranked from #101-200
At #104 is switch 2 console, followed by #112 rtx 5060, then #116 new 3ds xl.
#116 “new 3ds xl,” April CTR: 107%
We featured “new nintendo 3ds xl” in January‘s Roundup. That one now ranks #259 with a 51% CTR. And it wasn’t all that much higher in January (#234), but it had a CTR of 150% for the month. (Every year, we notice lots of game-related electronics have higher CTRs in January. We’ve concluded it’s buyers who got eBay gifts cards for Christmas.)
Next up, #129 sony cybershot, then a pair: #137-138 iphone 11 and gameboy. At #141 there’s psp 3000, followed by nintendo switch oled, and high flyer #165 nee doh. Right on its heels is another high flyer, #167 am4 motherboard with 108%. Then we drop down to #176 for samsung, #178 ps4 controller, and #184-185 lenovo thinkpad and iphone 13 pro. Skip one and at #187 is oneplus 15, the last qualifier in this group.
Next, ranking #201-300
Straight out of the gate at #201 is 2ds. Skip down one and there’s dsi xl; skip one again for airpods max. At #208 we have airpods pro 3 with a worthy 107% CTR for the month. At #217 there’s ps2 console, followed by #235 projector, then #245 shirt. We featured “shirt” in last month’s Roundup. It ranked #232 and had a perfect 150% CTR for March.
At #248-249, there’s another pair: warhammer and dsi, then #251 oculus quest 2, and #258 engine. Next up: #263 seiko watch, #266 chrome hearts, and #268 electric bike with 115%. And just four more: #283 ps4 pro, #288-289 3080 ti and pokemon emerald, then #294 rtx 3070 ti. The high flyer of the four is #288 3080 ti.
#288 “3080 ti,” April CTR: 130%
This is Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. Released in 2021, made for high-performance 4K gaming and creative work, it’s still considered a good choice in 2026.
That said, remember how these Nvidia graphics cards use to rule eBay’s Top 20? Month in, month out, for years; in fact, we just had a look at eBay’s April Top 20 last year. Five of the 20 were Nvidia graphics cards.
On the other hand, “3080 ti” had a CTR of just 30% back then. So, its purchase intent is looking way, way up.
Ranked from #301-400
Straight out of the gate, another high flyer: #303 mega gengar ex 284 with an April CTR of 111%. Then next, a trio: #316-318 s25 ultra, mm2 (103%), and nintendo switch games; it has 132%.
#318 “nintendo switch games,” April CTR: 132%
We’ve come across people recently who are selling these; we can see why!
And back on the Roundup, two more high flyers: #327 quest pro with 103%, and #336 macbook m1 has 117%. Next up: #352 mens watches, #359 playstation 2, #363 lenovo thinkcentre, #368 shure sm7b, and #381 mewtwo. The last three here are #385 pokemon card lot, #387 rx 580, and #392 rog ally z1 extreme.
Finally, ranking #401-500
Off like a shot here with #402 sailor piece; it has a perfect 150% for the month. And #405 google pixel 8 pro has 100%, followed by qualifier #407 herman miller. There’s a pair at #426-427: gamecube controller (109%) and shohei ohtani, followed by #431 beyblade x and #436 toys. Then the next is #443 iphone 15 pro max unlocked; it has 150%.
#443 “iphone 15 pro max unlocked,” April CTR: 150%
Wondering what’s selling best on eBay now? Looks like these are selling like hotcakes!
Winding up the Roundup, at #451 is pokemon platinum, followed by #454 body moldings trims with 131%. And we end with a trio, all high flyers. At #472 is sony walkman (107%); #492 laptop gaming (145%, yowza!); #499 apple airpods pro 3 has 126%.
We really hope some of these will be profitable leads for you.
