Wouldn't it be great if you knew what eBay buyers were looking for. You could quickly identify potential markets for the goods your selling or even new opportunities for your eBay selling activities. How would you feel if I told you that you can find out exactly what buyers are looking for and it doesn't cost you a dime! OK the experienced eBay sellers amongst you will in all probability, already know what I'm about to share with you (mind you a friend of mine who sells quite a bit on eBay didn't so who knows!) but for those of you that don't you should find this very useful. Log in to your eBay account and instead of going straight to your 'MyeBay' page look down the menu items on the left hand side of the home page until you the 'Want It Now' link which for UK eBayer's is in the 'See Also' section of the menu at the bottom. OK go ahead and click the 'want It Now' link. So that you can get a feel for what you about to be able to do scroll down to the 'Browse Want It Now' area and click on 'Baby' for example. What you now have in front of you is a list of postings made by eBay buyers looking for specific things, with info on how many responses they have had and when they made the posting. Click on a few and see what they are about. OK now go back to the 'Want It Now' page and instead of clicking on a category type in a keyword for something you are considering selling. Hopefully you will get a list of postings up of potential buyers if not try another keyword. Now think about this for a minute - what have you got here in front of you. Well, the way I see it we have a goldmine of information and here's why. Not only can I find buyers looking for what I'm selling I can get a feel for how much interest there is for what I'm selling by the number of postings. But there's more I can also see what keywords potential buyers are using which I can incorporate in to my listing tiles and finally I can also check out the competition by looking at postings with responses to see what is being sold and by whom. Right that's should be enough to get your creative juices going.
