A few weeks ago, I came across a page that had a list of top selling
products on ebay.  "chanel" was one of those products or brands.  I
want that same list, but I can't find it.  Can you help me?  Thanks!

xemion..

I have a source that lists the top selling items for specific
catagories within Ebay that is updated realtime.  Would this suffice?

It actually list the different catagories by links and when the links
are clicked, it shows the hot auctions that are current.  I am still
searching for your list with chanel on it.  I will post it when I find
it.

hmmm...the list I'm looking for is more of an overall product list. 
it had 15-100 items (I don't really remember, but it was just like a
list, you know?).  Chanel was the one I used and it worked great for
me, so I'm looking for the same list so I can use the other products
:-)  I think I just want more of an overall list than a list by
current products by category.  You may use your discretion though.

I found a list that has the 10 most requested items searched on at
Ebay, Yahoo, and Amazon auctions.  It does have chanel listed.  Would
this be your list?

In reading my answer, it appears I provided the same link twice.  I
apologize.  The second link (the free listing of top auctions) should
be http://www.hotitemsonauction.com/

Thanks!

You know...I think marketplacesnapshot.com is the exact site I visited
the first time.  But...........I just went there THIS MORNING and I
didn't think it was the right site!!!  I'm just an idiot, that's all
:-)  Great job, thv.

Also, you need to be careful with semi-colons in your answers.  It's
sticking them in the URL links and the links don't work with
semi-colons.  Just an fyi.  Thanks!

Ahh...the colons.  Sorry about that. I typically leave a space there
and I guess I didn't this time. Thanks for the tip.
