eBay has grown over the years to become a major center for online purchasing. In March 2008, over 75 million Americans visited eBay. Two thirds of these visitors performed a search on the site. This begs the question, what was being searched for?
Below is a table with the top 10 out of the 30 most searched terms on eBay in March 2008. The "Share" for each term is determined by dividing the searches made on a given term by the total number of searches made on the site.
Video games, electronics, handbags, and clothing dominate the list. Nintendo Wii, which seems to sell out before it can even reach a store’s shelf, is the most searched term by an enormous margin. Apple products and designer fashion are also quite frequently searched.
