If you have been convinced you must purchase a "hot toy list" to be in the know for what to sell this holiday season, think again! This information is right under your nose, if you know where to look. Now, there is nothing wrong with buying a list that someone else has created, but just keep in mind that sellers who rely on these lists for sourcing inventory probably aren't going to think outside the box. Also, if 500 sellers buy the same list, it is going to be a challenge to find items named on the list.
So, how does one figure out what toys are going to be good sellers on eBay? One easy way is to study eBay's own Hot Toy list. It is free. You can search by category and subcategory or keywords. eBay consulted with toy expert Chris Byrne of the U.K. Chris, also known as "The Toy Guy," and reaches over 100 million consumers each year through TV, radio, and print.

Watch those holiday ads and catalogs in the Sunday paper and available in stores like Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, Kmart, and Kohls. Do your homework before you go shopping. You can look up items on eBay and check to see if they are listed and if any have sold yet, the completed listing prices.
The information is all at your fingertips. All that's required is your time to discover the information! For more tips on holiday selling, listen to this 1 hour podcast with the eBay Coach.
