Xbox 360, Apple iPod Nanos, Star Wars action figures, American Girl items and decorative collectibles are the sizzling hot selling items this year, says a new eBay sales-tracking service that forecasts trends in online sales.

With less than a week until the official holiday shopping frenzy begins, eBay Inc. on Friday gave buyers and sellers an early glimpse into this holiday season's trends.

There are 168 million registered users on eBay. People buy $1,400 worth of goods every second said Hani Durzy, an eBay spokesman. Hot this holiday season is the Xbox 360, the new game system available next week. Sony Playstation Portable, the top search term on eBay just ahead of Xbox 360, has sold at a rate of 14 per hour during the past week versus 22 Xbox 360 systems an hour over the same period.

iPod, iPod Nano and iPod Mini rank No. 3, No. 4 and No. 6, respectively, in searches on eBay, and this is translating into high sales numbers. Over 3,400 of the recently-released iPod Nanos have sold -- the black model selling more than 2-to-1 over the white. Of the iPod Minis, blue, silver and pink models are the most popular among eBay shoppers.
