i heard terapeak is also useful. what do you think?

Terapeak is a valuable tool and does offer its benefits. It is an extensive market research tool. It’s extremely useful – but even more so once you’ve actually got a sales history and some data to analyze.

But if you can afford to work full time on your business and want to reach powerseller status as quickly as possible, then perhaps you should look at Terapeak.

Hope that helps

Looking For The Ideal Items To Sell On E-Bay?

How About a Sellers List of Popular Products in Low Supply!

Amazon is publishing a list for its third-party sellers of products that customers are shopping for that are out-of-stock on its marketplace. It's a clever and risk-free way for Amazon.com to fill out its line to quickly take advantage of demand but there is nothing to stop you taking advantage of knowing of a particular demand. If the demand is on Amazon then it is likely to be on E-Bay as well.

Go to the Amazon site and locate the page "Amazon Suggested Products", the list is huge!

That's right regfitz Amazon did launch this feature sometime in early July. It does give their sellers a bit of an edge but the chances of these things being on top of a customer's want/need-it list on eBay could still be relatively high. So one can still check this out and make reference, in case they don't sell on Amazon. Or maybe now the time to start selling there!

Here's the story on Amazon.com's Suggested Products: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y10/m07/i09/s01
