eBay's Top Categories and Buyer Searches for Bears
September 2005 vs March 2005

Each month eBay supplies us with the top ten list in categories and buyer searches. It's an excellent way to gauge what is going on in the market and, of course, what folks have in mind when they pop over to eBay looking for Toys. If you're a seller, this information should help you decide what categories and keywords to use in your listings.
