Terapeak has analyzed the top eBay searches for Books for the week of Nov 24 - Nov 30, 2005. Terapeak identified the top searches performed by eBay users by going to the eBay Pulse for the Books category.

Note that the same search terms are often found in multiple categories on eBay. This week's hot-search list only looks at the search term in the one category being researched.

Terapeak then ran the hot-search list through its database of eBay market data, licensed from eBay, to get key pieces of data about each item, including GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume); Items Sold; ASP (average selling price); and Conversion Rate.

Terapeak is an eBay certified service provider that provides eBay Marketplace Research and data services.
