    Sign up for a developer account at developer.ebay.com.

    You can do all sorts of searches that will display what's selling, what people are searching for, and related searches to specific niches.

    I've got the specific search strings somewhere, if I can find them I'll post them.
    All you need to do is enter your dev ID to make them work.

    OK, here's a really quick and dirty way to get some nifty info from eBay.

    ******************************

    1
    Get a dev account here: http://developer.ebay.com

    2
    Login, go to My Account and copy your AppID.

    3
    Here's two example that I use regularly when searching for popular items. Just copy and paste these URLs into a browser, replacing YourAppIDHere with your own AppID.

    Find what people are searching for on eBay
    http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?c...AppIDHere&siteid=0&version=531&QueryKeywords=

    Find popular related searches based on a keyword - in this case 'Ferrari'
    http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?c...re&siteid=0&version=531&QueryKeywords=ferrari

    You can then either just look at the XML code to find what you're looking for, or if you're really nerdy you can use something like PHP's simplexml_load_string to make it look pretty, and even display it on your site (using ePN links of course!).
    I got about half way though making a really nice PHP form that would return related keywords, but then I got lazy, and figured it was easier just to read through the XML :D

    ******************************

    There are plenty of other things you can find out using the calls here: http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/shopping/docs/CallRef/index.html
    Just click on the samples to get the URL format, paste it into your browser, then paste your own AppID into it.

    It's not the most elegant way of doing it, but it's quick, and gets the job done :D
