Finding the Hottest Selling eBooks on eBay
While many sellers spend all their time selling their current eBook inventory on eBay, others try to locate the hottest selling eBooks first through copious research. The most important research an eBook seller can do on eBay is to find out what eBook topics are hot sellers, and then get them for you to resell. This doesnt mean you have to buy resellers rights copy of hot eBooks, it just means you should track sales to see what would be good for your customers.
eBay is a great place to do market research on eBook sales. The more you know about what sells online, the better you are able to locate potential hot selling topics. The most effective way to find the best selling eBooks on eBay is by doing a completed listings search.
The completed listings search is a great tool to find out what people are in the market for when it comes eBooks. Since many eBook offers on eBay are listed as a buy it now option, it can be a great challenge to figure out what eBooks are big sellers online, and what ones arent from active listings. By doing a completed listings search, all sales are outlined in an easy to read green font, and all the unsold items are in red.
Simply click on the search button at the side task bar of your eBook results page on eBay. Make sure to check the box that indicates you want to search completed listings only. Once you have located this option, click search, and being looking through the listings.
To find the hottest selling eBooks simply grab a pen, and a pad, and make some notes about what genres of eBooks seem to be selling the most. Make a few notes about what to sell, and what not to sell. After going through abut 10 to 15 pages of completed listings on eBay, you should have an idea of what topics are the most popular.
Now go back through the listings and try to discover what the best price is to sell your eBooks on eBay. If the prices arent consistent for the eBooks sold on eBay, try to find a middle ground price that would be good for your product.
Another point I would like to make is if your eBook turns out to be a dud and does not sell well dont give up on it. Simply sell the eBook as a store inventory item. This only costs pennies per month and adds to your inventory.
