Finding Products to Sell on Ebay

One key for business success using eBay is sourcing products to sell. The first key to success for business sellers is an old marketing rule, RESEARCH.

The products you need to sell are products that eBay buyers will want to buy. Apart from being a massive market place, eBay offers you a cheap source of research that you can conduct without moving from your computer.

There are two kinds of sellers on eBay, garage sellers and business sellers.

Garage sellers are people who sell products they are not going to use any more and that are usually not new. Garage sellers are not profit driven, their main objective is usually to get rid of some stuff they don't need. They will be happy to make some money by selling something that is no longer useful to them.

Business sellers are people who will buy and sell products for profit, they consider eBay a business and need to earn profit on the products they sell.

If you are a business seller, it is fundamental that you spend some time researching before you decide which products you want to sell. Follow these research guidelines:

1. Search for the categories that are most popular and how many bids the products have.

2. Look at the ratings of the sellers who are listing products in each category and study their profiles and how many products they have sold in the past.

3. Analyze prices.

4. Select no more than one or two categories and Specialize a specfic niche.

Now go out there and make your ebay business a success.
