What's Hot? What's
Not!
To make money on eBay, it is important to know
what sells on eBay (current demand) and an accurate market price. Once you find
a wholesale dropshipper make sure you do your product price research because
they all say that have cheap items to sell on eBay, but from my experience, I
can tell you that you can almost always find some of the same items selling on
eBay for less then the wholesalers are selling them for. There are VERY FEW REAL
eBay merchandise sources that I have found and they have all been in the
Drop Ship Source Directory.

Normally, eBay searches return only listings that
match your search terms exactly. That is, if you search for "possum," you won't
necessarily retrieve the same results that you would in a search for "opossum."
Historically, to perform a fuzzy
search, you'd have to include all the variations of a word in the search box
manually, like this:
(opossum,possum,apossoun)
or, to accommodate singular and plural variants, you'd
have to type something like this:
(antenna,antennas,antennae)
The OR search commanded by the use of parentheses, as
described in , takes care of this nicely. But it's not always necessary.
As part of eBay's new search engine (code-named
"Voyager" and introduced in 2003), all eBay searches automatically include
common plurals and known alternate misspellings of words. For instance, a search
for "tire" will also yield results matching "tyre" as well as "tires" and "tyres,"
rendering the messy OR search unnecessary in this case.
Of course, the inclusion of these variations isn't
always desirable. For instance, if you're looking for rooftop antennas for a
Pennsylvania Railroad PA-1 locomotive, you wouldn't so much be interested in a
book discussing the antennae of Pennsylvania cockroaches. To force eBay to
search only for exact matches of words, enclose such terms in quotation marks,
like this:
pennylvania "antennas"
which is practically equivalent to:
pennylvania antennas -antennae
Whether or not the quotes will be necessary, or
whether you'll still need to manually include variations (using parentheses),
will depend on the particular search you're trying to perform. eBay's fuzzy
searches are based on a hand-selected dictionary of common variations and
plurals, meaning that "tire" will match "tyre," but it's unlikely that eBay will
go as far as to equate "potato" with "tater."
Punctuation
To simplify searches that would otherwise require
very cumbersome search phrases, nearly all forms of punctuation are considered
equivalent to spaces in eBay searches. For instance, say you're looking for a
1:43-scale model car; you might expect to have to type the following:
car (1/43,1\43,1:43)
Instead, all you would need to type is:
car 1/43
wherein the
1/43 keyword will match "1
43",
1:43,
1;43,
1\43,
1-43,
1.43,
1!43,
1@43,
1#43,
1$43,
1%43,
1^43,
1&43,
1_43,
1=43,
1+43,
and 1~43.
Now, say that car is a 1968 Ford GT 40; the
appropriate search phrase would then be:
(gt40,gt-40) 1/43
While
gt-40 is equivalent to "gt
40", it won't match
gt40 (without any space or
punctuation), so the OR search is still needed.
Unfortunately, punctuation doesn't fall under the
same rules as variations and plurals, meaning that the quotation marks
discussed above won't have any effect on unwanted variations. Furthermore, the
equivalence of punctuation also means that the following will not work as
expected:
"gt 40" -gt/40
