How Do You Find Killer Products To Sell On Ebay

by Graham Waite

A common problem for newbies to eBay when starting a business is knowing what they could sell.

When i’m asked about what to sell on eBay by a beginner when first getting started on eBay I find like most people they stumble not really knowing where to turn for help and advice and are overwhelmed by the number of options available to them.

So what’s the excited beginner supposed to do when it seems that each original idea has been taken.Well I find that a good starting point is your own interests and hobbies after all there’s a saying if you’re doing what you love you aren’t really working anyway … that seems a good place to begin to me don’t you think?

If you think you have come up with a killer idea for a product to sell to your niche you need to find out if the product has sold in the past or is already being sold successfully. I’m sure you would agree that any product you sell must of course have adequate demand before selling it?

When I was first looking for ideas I started speaking to family and friends and asked them what they liked to buy. At the time my sister was planning a hiking trip and was looking to purchase a two man tent. When I did some research for her I found dozens of others looking for similar things.

If you are a regular visitor to the Amazon or Barnes and Nobel websites you’ll notice that they have a almost seemingly endless selection of books on a myriad of topics. But also you’ll find they have a list of the most popular books in most categories, just drill down through these to find new product ideas to research further.

eBay themselves have a section called eBay Seller Central where in the ‘What’s Hot’ section they list what people are looking for or selling the most of. Of course this might be a source many others use but at least it’s a starting point.

If you come across a popular product which you think can sell well don’t put all your eggs in that one basket. Always be on the lookout to expand your product range with new additions. Remember you won’t get far selling thermal underwear when it’s the middle of the summer.

At the moment it probably seems still pretty hard to decide what to sell. But once you do a little homework you’ll begin seeing opportunities and before you know it you’ll be up and running. Just don’t forget walk before your start running and you will be fine.
