eBay Data and Research – How Important Is It?

eBay Data and Research – How Important Is It?

eBay is a business anyway you look at it. Sure, it is

a great deal of fun for both the buyers and sellers,

but when you look at it from another view point, you

will see that it is a business from the seller’s point

of view, the buyer’s point of view, and eBay’s point

of view. 40 million dollars a day travels through eBay.

Selling items on eBay successfully is an art, and

eBay offers many different forms of Data and

Research to ensure that you are selling the right

items, to the right people, in the right way.

Some of the data and research is not free, but much

of it is. The available resources include hot items by

category, eBay Pulse, merchandising calendar,

sales reports, marketplace research, buyer

behavioral report, and the eBay solutions directory.

These tools are quite easy to use, and the

information that can be gleaned from them is

extremely valuable.

The Data and Research tools are all accessible

through your seller’s account, by clicking on the

‘Advance Selling’ link. Learn to use those tools, and

get your piece of that $40 million eBay revenue each

day.
