Auction Power Guide

What has a high value now that wasn’t 5 years ago or longer.

Please help im new to ebay

As the one answerer said – go to ebay and do an advanced search to search "only ended items" and look at different categories and you can pretty much see right away what sells and what doesn’t.

Shipping cost has a lot to do with perceived value..so make sure you know your shipping cost and total costs against what it would cost for the person to get it locally.

Used electronics seem to be hot..especially laptops..computer people are not afraid to order off the computer – and online sales are growing despite the recession…

I was looking for Wonder Woman stuff for my daughter and it was SOOOO expensive..and things were always being bid on…if you’re going to do collectibles..make sure you examine what collectibles are hot and what’s not..there’s a lot of things people call "collectibles" that are junk – and there’s a lot that have a high value – but the person who might buy it isn’t looking on ebay or hasn’t seen the ad..and since you’d have to keep the ad up for a while, it might not be cost effective to sell it on ebay. You want things that have a large audience. Or have a very very targeted marketing program supplemented by website advertising, PPC, etc. etc.

Auto stuff has picked up over the years..and that category has grown…

I also bet there’s some ebay statistics on the web with best selling categories, highest growth, etc.

Remember that advertising outside of ebay in the search engiens can also have a great deal to do with your level of success.

Start with looking at completed Ebay sales and investigating sales from that point of view…

In this video you will learn how to make more money on eBay by spotting opportunities to sell your products at higher prices using International research.
Terapeak International research gives you ability easily research sales information for any product across six eBay sites. This may identify opportunities where there are price differences in foreign markets.
For example if I would sell Burton Snowboards, after performing search using International research module I could easily identify profitable markets and see price differences that would allow me to make more money on every listing.
Looking at our example of “Burton Snowboards” you could see that Australia is highly attractive market for this type of products. Average end price is $166 compared to $96 for eBay.com and sell-through is 68% compared to 31% for eBay.com which means that you have twice more chances to sell Burton snowboard and make $70 more dollars per item if you would list and sell it on eBay Australia.
At the same time international research save you time and money by quickly identifying unprofitable and risky markets — for example even average end price on eBay Germany is about $20 higher than on eBay.com, sell-through rate is only 6% which means that you would have really hard time selling “Burton snowboards” there.
By looking at “Buyer Country Sales Distribution” you could see countries where buyers are located and offer special shipping prices so buyers from those locations have incentive to bid on your auctions.
