If you sell on eBay, one way you can increase your sales success is to offer products that you know are in demand.
The beauty of the eBay marketplace is that there is a huge amount of data available to help sellers find out what items are in demand and are selling successfully.
It's relatively easy to uncover hot selling items on UK eBay if you are able to follow a disciplined yet straightforward approach to researching eBay's data. Here three steps which will help:
1. Discover what items are selling well currently on UK eBay
By checking eBay's Completed Listings, you are able to find out what items are selling well currently. If you've never researched Completed Listings before, the key is that green figures denote sales that have been made, whereas red figures indicate listings that did not sell.
You can access Completed Listings in several ways. For example, you can use eBay's Advanced Search facility, input a keyword and check the Completed Listings box. Or you may be researching a seller who is selling the type of items in which you are interested. In this case, you can use Advanced Search and select the By Seller link. Then you have the option to bring back Completed Listings for that seller.
You can also get to this data by category. You can browse any category or sub-category in which you are interested, and indicate on via the menu on the left side that you want to see Completed Listings only.
There are, of course, commercial systems that enable you to undertake Completed Listings research from companies such as Hammertap, Blackthorne and Terapeak.
2. Find out what buyers are searching for on UK eBay
The search words and terms that buyers are currently using are a very good indicator as to what products are in current demand. This information is being gathered constantly by eBay from their search boxes.
The keyword information is collated together and is made available in eBay Pulse. If you've never accessed eBay's Pulse page, an easy way to locate it is via eBay's Site Map.
The commercial systems also provide this popular search word data.
3. Learn what listings are the most Watched on UK eBay
Buyers on eBay are able to place an indicator on any listing that they wish to Watch. Typically a buyer would Watch a listing if they have an interest in buying or bidding for the item on sale. Listings that are being Watched by most people are obviously popular, and are therefore in current demand.
eBay Pulse shows the most Watched listings by category. Or the information can be accessed using the paid for systems mentioned earlier.
Summarising the above - products that are currently selling well, or are being searched for by most people, or are the most Watched, indicate clearly that they are in demand. Therefore, offering such products on eBay UK gives the seller the best opportunity of successful sales.
