What you need to know
A few months ago, eBay announced that the Product research tool (formerly Terapeak) became available on mobile. To give you deeper insights, eBay's now added the brand new sell-through rate metric you’ve been asking for, so you can see the demand for an item. Read on to find out how the tool works, and what sellers are saying.
How the tool works
Product research is a free, powerful tool that gives you access to three years of eBay sales and pricing data to help you make more informed decisions about your listings. It shows trends, buyer demand, and even sold listings from other sellers. This equips you with the insights you need to easily determine the popularity of your items, understand their market value, and decide how to price them.
With the new sell-through rate metric, you’ll be able to see the percentage of similar items sold during a specific period of time. This means you can estimate the speed at which these items are selling, allowing you to quickly price your own items and get them on the market.
Some of the other data you can see in the tool includes:
- Actual sold price (incl. the accepted price for Best Offer listings)
- Average sold price
- Sold price range
- Percentage sold with free shipping/average shipping and number of sellers who have sold the product
- A price trend graph
The tool also has tons of other features, like a time-saving “Sell one like this” option. It does all of the hard work for you by creating a new listing and pre-populating it with information from a previously sold one. All you have to do is modify the listing to describe your own item. You can also use advanced filters to refine your search settings and view a custom number of days, so you only ever see what matters to you.
Product research is available to all sellers on desktop when opted in to Seller Hub. To be able to opt in, you’ll need to have made at least one sale, then just click “Start using Seller Hub.” You can also use the tool on mobile if you have one active listing or have previously listed and sold within the last 90 days.
Start using Product research now to get the info you need to unlock your selling potential.
