eBay today unveiled this holiday’s Top 10 must-have new toys, as well as eBay Toy Finder, a free new feature that helps shoppers find the right toy for kids of any age.
eBay Toy Finder offers recommendations of more than 300 “hot” and award-winning toys, along with full-page descriptions and photos that link directly to those items listed on eBay. Shoppers can then choose from new and used toys and purchase them immediately through Buy It Now or by bidding in the auction format.
Covering nine age ranges and 16 product categories, eBay Toy Finder also includes products evaluated and recognized by nationally-renowned author Marianne Szymanski of Toy Tips, an independent research group that tests toys and children’s products.

“eBay is often cited as a barometer of the most popular toys during the holiday season, and eBay Toy Finder now makes it easy for anyone to pick from thousands of choices,” said Jim Migdal, senior category manager for eBay Toys & Hobbies. “This list recognizes those toys we anticipate to be top sellers this holiday season, based on recent sales trends on eBay, numbers of searches and listings, and general buzz in the industry.”
Please note: eBay’s Toy Finder lists toys by age. Since I have no kids I have idea what toys go with what ages, I’ve found these where I can, they aren’t all necessarily from Toy Finder.
