do you know how to use eBay's search tools te Peak the solds and the active listings to find the actual best sell through categories and items that you should be selling especially during the fourth quarter of 2024 well if you don't stay tuned to this video I'm going to show you exactly how to do it inside of eBay inside of the research tools and using terap peek along with the rest of [Music] eBay yeah welcome back into the channel rockstars thanks for joining me I'm going to show you guys in this video since it's been
a while and I I know I got a lot of new sellers here or sellers that need a refresher on exactly how to use the tools that eBay gives you to find the sell through rate items that are highest I don't mean just items in their prices sold comps we all know how to do that I mean items that actually move that are actually selling by season by category by brand and by their sell through rate so a lot of people don't know how to dig into the research for this deeper and put it all
together to find the actual items that people are looking for on eBay so they don't sit in your store for years and years and years they sell we don't want to be a storage unit what's my favorite saying around here we aren't married to the inventory we are sellers not hoarders so let's jump into it this will be easy for me to show you here on the computer I'll screen share and we'll dig into exactly how to find those bestselling items you can scribble down list make list of Brands make list of types of items
and styles and different things that you want to look for when you're out at these yard sales garage sales estate sales thrift stores wherever it is that you Source from also I am working on an ambitious project that hopefully will be done in the next 30 to 60 days where I am going to take every category I possibly can think of toys Electronics video games clothing shoes accessories and build an entire searchable Google sheet with every single one of them's actives solds Selter rates speed of selling slow medium fast and the notes of which on
specifically like the type of models Brands whatever sizes that you should be looking for so that you guys have it all inone searchable sheet that you'll be able to save on your phones or your computers or what have you and hopefully I'll have that done in the next one to two months it's going to take a lot of late nights and work for me but I am happy to make it for you guys and hopefully uh it goes well and we'll see what happens when I put it together and I make it available for purchase
to all of you with that said let's jump on my computer and I'll show you how to dig into the research okay so we're just going to come on to the eBay um website do this on a computer desktop laptop I don't even know if you can do it on tablet I have no idea I use a tablet for different things but not for my eBay work it's so much easier on a computer trust me that's what I'm screen recording on for you guys so the thing you want to do is go to research this
is the research Tab and the first thing is product research and the second one is sourcing insights so let's start with the product research this is actual terap peek this is what replaced terap peek or still is terap it's their new name for it and you can look up anything I'm just going to give you guys an example my favorite thing in the whole world right like Robert Graham flip cuff shirt right this is like the dress shirts that I wear with crazy um cuffs and all that stuff so you can search for this item
right and you can sort by what you want to look at the last six months the last year let's just look at the last 90 days we want to see what's going on right now right like in the the current kind of marketplace here when you come down you can filter this by new and used you can filter it by best offers auctions fixed prices you can filter it by the price and you can filter it by whether it included top rating only operated Etc so we're looking at May 15th to August 13th that's when
I'm filming this you can see that the average sale price for a flip cuff shirt is 3206 right let's go a and filter it by just um used right let's see what used says used drops to 2959 so you can see the new ones actually help that price out so we'll go back let's say we're selling a used one let's just keep it there the sold price range between 99 and 355 you can't really pay too much attention for that cuz there be really special ones that are 355 and people putting one up for auction
for .99 with $20 shipping whatever right the average shipping price that people charge for this shirt is $725 that's about right they're a little heavier men's extra large shirt might be 14 ounces right it's not going to be $450 to ship it's going to be like $6 so that's probably accurate a little overpriced but that's fine 6% of people selling these do free shipping only 6% that's kind of surprising in a clothing one I know that most clothing has a higher percentage of free shipping because more people do it than don't the sell through rate
this is 10 .25% over 90 days only 10% of these shirts have sold in the last 90 days that's really bad that's only 3 and a qu% 3 and A3 per um per month so if you're selling for example 1% a day you would sell 30% of your material in a month if you were selling a half a percent a day you'd be selling 15% of your inventory in 30 days right well this is 3% so this is like a tenth of a percent per day it's terrible there are 1681 people who have sold a
shirt a robber gram flip cuff in the last 90 days okay these are all the ones that have sold and then you can scroll down and see the individual ones and see what they sold for etc etc so we come over here to active and these are the current actives they're actively listed 3797 the average shipping is a little bit lower 47% of the listings have free shipping and there are currently 22,26 3 Robert Graham flip cuffs active so let's do the math here we know just a second ago that there were 22263 and if
we come back over to solds we have 1681 right 1681 and 22263 this is how a lot of people like to do the math 1681 over 22 263 I think that was right 7 percent if you just do that number but the sell through rate's actually higher why cuz you have to add those two numbers together 22 263 plus what was that other number tell me what was the other number I don't remember sold 11 uh 1681 so you add the two together and you come up with a total that were listed and sold 23944
right 23944 over the last 90 days it dropped to almost under seven I don't know where they're getting the 10% sell through rate I don't know where that comes up with but I come up with 7% either way either way I did it 7% so somewhere between 7 and 10% it's a very very very low low low number it's not a good number if you come over here to actives you can turn this little thing on that says show current trends look at this look at this back in the0 to $78 range look at how
many sold in the 78 to it very very little so you can tell that almost none of them sell for more than $75 $79 they're almost all in this price range right and you can scroll down and see them all nonstop so you get kind of a good idea of what this stuff is worth let's look up one more let's look up um I don't know Michael K's dress and you can search by size if you want too you can search by a bunch of things Michael cord's dresses the average uh let's go to solds
sorry the average sold price is 4314 let's let's filter it to used $24 is the average Michael Kors used dress all the way up to 2,300 I don't pay attention to that at all the average shipping free shipping 14% the sell through rate 177% a little bit better this might be you know different again almost 3,000 units sold and here's the spikes here's the dresses and you can go to actives and you can figure out what there's 35,000 of them 43% sold on are are currently promoted 62% are listed free shipping and then we have
our active average listing price of $38 our active sold is $24 so they're listed this high on average but they're actually selling for this much best offer is probably the majority of it or not selling right so we can tell that a Michael Kors dress on average used is probably 25 30 bucks at best so those of you out there pricing them for $50 $60 $70 unless you have something special not going to happen so you can scroll down and you can see every one of these these dresses that is currently active and you can
go back and you can see every one of them that has currently sold this is how you use the product research tool otherwise known as terap peek or formally known as terap peek to figure out what's selling and what's not now here's a really really great feature go to the sourcing insights below it this this tells you the categories right so saved categories you can see these top opportunities the top opportunities are in athletic shoes sports bras short shorts good opportunity great opportunities polos shorts swimwear cuz we're still in summer so they're still selling but
they're falling off right and then everything else kind of Falls in between but you can see the Selter rates you can see the active listings versus the search volume versus the search to listing ratios you can see all these you can search by the search volume you can search by the total sales Sports brows are doing really good right now you can go and actually look at the top categories action figures right you can search some alphabetical top search volume again you can do the total sales coats jackets and vest tops dresses you can look
at all of this stuff under that you can even make it a table view if you want I like the card view better I think but total categories with top cell phones and smartphones again video games do you guys see the two things I always tell you about cell phon smartphones tablets video game consoles they're always number one action figures are usually pretty high comic books do well comic books do well athletic shoes it's always Nikes and sneakers are really high up on that as we scroll down dresses tend to do well collectible cards again
I call it vinyl records that's interesting that it's actually um that high up there I don't uh not I'm a little bit surprised to see that actually and um books books always just because they have a huge volume coats jackets and vests people are prepping for winter contemporary manufacturer I can't explain that golf club's always popular but then you see DVDs blue discs t-shirts and you can scroll down I'm surprised to see video games this low and trading card singles this low even though they're near the top um the fact that uh video game consoles
is higher as interesting I would have thought the video games would be higher but if you search you know bu search volume it kind of switches up Ritz watchat moves up video games move up sort of the thing right you go to total sales coach jackets tops dolls so you can sort and play with this to your heart is content this is how you research and look stuff up to see what is actually selling what is actually moving and paying attention and then you can take these categories right you can click on it and you
can see over time you can see type jacket men black men blue men Brown you can see what is selling the best no matter what all conditions you can go through this stuff over and over and over again and pull down a rabbit hole it's crazy so that's how you do the research tool that is the sourcing insights and the former terap now called Product research hopefully you enjoy it take some time familiarize yourself with it learn it love it like it all those things all from above and appreciate you as always joining me here
