Niche-Finder Software Kick-Starts eBay Seller Success

Auction Inspector niche-finder software is proving to be a huge hit with eBay'ers by solving the knotty problem faced by all sellers: "What can I sell on eBay?" The software finds hidden market potential just waiting to be realized, by analyzing eBay’s "Want It Now" section.

An astounding 724,000 Americans list eBay as their primary or secondary source of income. Yet, statistics show that 80% of all new businesses fail within the first two years and, sadly, eBay sellers are included in these numbers.

In 2004, ChannelAdvisor, which sells e-commerce-management services to large eBay sellers, was quoted as saying that they see up to 20 eBay sellers go insolvent every month, as they fail to adapt to changing technology or successfully counteract new competition.

It seems nothing has changed. Chad Thompson, from Salehoo Wholesale Directory, says: “Not a day goes by when we don’t talk to a seller at the end of their tether, wondering why they aren’t making money from 'it' merchandise, such as iPods, PSPs and designer handbags. They’ve heard these products are hot, but they haven’t countered on the stiff competition out there. Unfortunately for some sellers, this spells the end of their eBay career.”

Sellers who are aware of the problem that competition poses may be put off, believing that there is no room to make money. But Pat Davenport, Auction Inspector’s representative, says that there is still a wealth of opportunities to be had in niche markets –- and Auction Inspector literally hands eBay sellers "profitable markets on a plate."

"Today, there is endless choice for the consumer, and that means a virtually unlimited demand,” Davenport says. “We’ve seen people making money from the strangest merchandise: old menus and restaurant memorabilia, right through to old car parts. Of course, it’s pretty hard to dream up these niches on your own, so that’s where Auction Inspector becomes invaluable."

Auction Inspector inspects posts on the eBay’s "Want It Now" section, and tells you which products are wanted most often. The software takes the number of requests for the product AND the number of responses by sellers, and runs it through a sophisticated algorithm to give you the potential of the products. Products with a low potential are either not in demand, or already satisfied by a glut of sellers. Products with high potential are ones everyone is wanting, and nobody is offering!

Sellers who have used Auction Inspector software say that this tool has not only made their businesses more profitable, but also saves them valuable time in product research.

Steve Hopkins, a veteran eBay seller with over 4 years' experience, is just one of those who is reaping the benefits of Auction Inspector: "Auction Inspector is one program that I am tempted not to turn my friends onto...I consider Auction Inspector a secret weapon in my sales and marketing arsenal."

Pat Davenport says this is typical of the response they have had from Auction Inspector users. "New eBay sellers say this tool has saved them from becoming another failed business statistic, while veterans use it to streamline their business operation," he noted. "Auction Inspector is a tool that can enhance eBay businesses at all levels."
