Welcome to the new eBay Pop

eBay Pop is a new, free service that captures the buying buzz and sales trends on eBay in a fun, informative way – with a twist of current events and pop culture. So what does that all mean, exactly? With the eBay.com marketplace as a reflection of the shopping habits of 94 million Americans, it has become a barometer of pop culture and compass of buying trends today. Not to mention, there's an uncanny resemblance to offline events and related purchases on eBay, everything from American Idol to major sporting events and tech toys to Tickle Me Elmo.

The centerpiece of eBay Pop is the Movers and Shakers, which is in itself a mini stock market of product pricing (without the messy, paper-filled trading floor). It can take months for retailers to report sales in their stores across the country, and when it comes to particular items, good luck. On a nightly basis, updates various lists including the most popular and those that are seeing the most movement, both up and down. There's lots more to enjoy on eBay Pop, so jump and and let us know what you think.
