Reading AuctionBytes: Terapeak's eBay Hot Searches, Week Ended December 17, 2005

Terapeak has analyzed the top eBay searches for All Categories for the week of December 11 - 17, 2005. Terapeak identified the top searches performed by eBay users by going to the eBay Pulse for All Categories.

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.
