What Product You Choose To Sell Is The Most Important Element To Your eBay Success

What You Choose To Sell Is The Main Factor In eBay Success

Many people ask me what the most important thing is in determining if you will be a successful seller on eBay. I would have to say it's what item or items you choose to sell. You can be the best marketer in the world, the best sales person in the world, the best at eBay SEO and product promotion but if people don't have a need or want your product nobody will buy it.

Now that's not to say eBay SEO, listing optimization, quality of listings is not important, it's very important. You can pick a top selling product but if you have crappy listings you won't sell it. So how you go about things is important but ultimately the first step to success is making sure you select a good product.

So how do you know what a good product is? You could blindly throw darts at a wall picking and ordering small quantities of products and testing them out, or you could do some research before hand using a program like Terapeak and know with certainty an item is selling say $10,000 worth of product a week with a 100% sell through rating.

Now again just because others are having success with that product doesn't mean you will, but at the very least you know there's a demand for what your selling. From there it's up to you, your sales rank, seller metrics, listing optimiztion and if you go about doing all that correctly your listings will rank high and in turn sell.

For me personally Terapeak is critical to my eBay success both in finding products, sourcing products, and running analytics to make sure the products I find are going to be winners. You can actually get a FREE 7 Day Trial to Terapeak to try it out if you like.
