Research eBay Markets

Today we’re going to start Part #2 of “how to find out exactly what to sell on eBay for insane profits”.

(Side Note:  If you just stumbled on this blog or you’re just getting started with our trainings then you need to start here on “how to make money on eBay” or you’ll get left behind)

By now you should have createdexpanded and prioritized your DHIP list. Now it’s time to “Research The Market”. And this process is broken down into three action steps…..

  • Action Step #1: Research eBay

  • Action Step #2: Research Google

  • Action Step #3: Research Competition

Our focus today is going to be in Action Step #1 which is researching eBay to collect the “supply number” for each of the Top #3 on your DHIP list.

Now I’m pretty sure that you’re probably asking yourself “what the heck is a supply number” and “what does it have to do with finding out what to sell on eBay” ?

So before we blaze off getting the “supply numbers” for your Top #3, I’ll need to fill you in on what a “supply number” is and more importantly - how to accurately “drill down” and get it.

So let me explain what it is first…..

The “supply number” represents the amount of “supply” that’s available to consumers in eBay’s marketplace for whatever category they’re searching in.

But - to you and I, when it comes to making money on eBay….

It’s A Gold Mine!

Here’s what I mean…..

The “supply number” is essentially the amount of “competition” listed on eBay at any given time for that particular category. And this is very valuable “insider information” (you’ll see why in just a second) but only if you know how to use it.

The “supply numbers” are never exactly the same from day to day. They are always changing by the minute as old listings end and new ones start which is normal. You’ll find that for the most part the numbers remain somewhat consistent within a few hundred to a few thousand depending on the popularity and level of competition in that category.

Now here’s the valuable part that I mentioned a second ago….

If you know how to use these numbers correctly, then it’s like having the secret numbers to the combination that unlocks the vault to a never ending supply of what to sell on eBay.

In other words, it’s the magic number that YOU will need when it comes time to “weigh” your markets against one another to decide on what to sell on eBay that will allow YOU to create wealth in.

Now before we can get started collecting the “supply numbers” for your Top #3 - it’s very important to understand that the “research” that you do here must be accurate.

And that’s not all either….

As we “drill down” into categories, sub-categories and sub-sub-sub-categories it will be extremely important that you pay close ATTENTION and make double sure that you’re in the right category BEFORE you collect the “supply numbers”.

If you’re not then you will gather the wrong numbers and if that happens you will make the WRONG business decisions when it comes time to decide on what to sell on eBay.

So let me walk you through the correct process of “drilling down” using one of my hobbies (golf) that was on my DHIP list.

Now golf is a pretty “broad” industry so back a blog post or so ago when we were “exploring” our markets by clicking on categories, sub-categories and sub-sub-sub-categories - I added to my DHIP list different products/ideas that interested me in the “golf” market (I hope you did yours too – if not you’ll miss out BIG time).

My DHIP list looked like this:

Golf>>>>>

  • Golf Bags

  • Golf Balls

  • Golf Clubs

  • Golf Carts

  • Golf Shoes

  • Golf Clothes

  • etc., etc., etc., …..
