How To Find Top-Selling Ebay Items
Unless you are willing to pay for software that finds
top-selling ebay items, you will have to conduct your own
research by hand. Luckily for you, there is a simple method you
can use to perform market research for ebay.
If you are already selling on ebay, you probably have a general
idea of what you want to sell. For instance, you might know you
want to sell collectibles, jewelry, or consumer electronics.
However, what you might not know is what you want to sell within
those categories or what you should be selling within those
categories to maximize your profits per sale.
Your goal should be to select products that have both a high
demand (high search popularity) and a low supply (number and
quality of sellers). In business, this is generally referred to
as a "niche." If you want to maximize your profits, you should
search out a number of niches within your ebay selling
sub-category.
You can start this process by going to
http://category-keyword.ebay.com/all_categories.html and
clicking your current selling category and then sub- category.
Drill down and build a list as you go of potential niches by
recording the "commonly searched words" for each level.
Continue to drill down until you have the ebay search results
for a given niche. For instance, if you continue to drill down
for jewelry, you can eventually get results for "white
gold
rings" or "sapphire gold rings." Spend some time analyzing the
raw amount of results (i.e. 4300 results for "white gold rings")
you get for a given keyphrase, the quality of the sellers within
the niche, and the prevailing market rates within the niche.
If supply is low and demand is high for that given ebay selling
niche, prices will be inordinately high, allowing you to
maintain high profit margins until your niche fills out with
more sellers.
In order to assure consistent profits, you should select a
number of profitable ebay selling niches and sell within each.
When you pick a good niche, your sales will reflect it: your
merchandise will move fast and you will consistently sell over
the ebay market values.
If you find a good niche, but do not have sufficient stock to
sell within that niche, you can simply find a dropshipper or an
affiliate program to do all of the work for you. You can sign up
at places like www.cj.com, www.linkshare.com, and
http://www.megagoods.com for free and immediately start selling
items as an affiliate.
