Competitor Research: Reverse-Engineer Top eBay Sellers

📚 What This Video Covers

1. Find the Right Sellers

Goal: Identify competitors using your suppliers or selling in your niche

Market Insights → Trending Dropshippers (set Marketplace, Business Model, Source)

Spy icon across ZIK (Trending Products, Product Research, Product Explorer)

Manual on eBay: search supplier title, open seller profile, copy Seller ID

✅ Tip: Prioritize flame‑icon sellers and use “Dropshippers Only” for precise matches.

2. Analyze Seller Performance

Goal: Turn seller metrics into clear, actionable insights

Review Sell‑Through Rate, Active Listings, Sold Items, Feedback, Avg Price

Adjust timeframe (30 / 21 / 14 / 7 days) to confirm consistency

Open Sold Products; use magnifying glass to find more sellers of the same item

✅ Pro Tip: High STR + steady sales across timeframes = strong source for product ideas.

3. Discover Best‑Selling Products

Goal: Surface proven items you can list with confidence

Filter: ≥2 sales (7d) or ≥6 sales (30d) to isolate winners

Save top items to a dated ZIK folder for easy tracking

Handle Exact, Similar, and Unmatched; add ASIN/IDs or image‑search when needed

✅ Insight: Unmatched results are often hidden gems—find supplier via title or image search.

4. Optimize to Outperform

Goal: Beat competitors on price, titles, and CTR

Price slightly lower (even −$0.30) to win side‑by‑side comparisons

Refine titles with ZIK Title Builder; keep what works, remove noise

Create unique descriptions with AI to boost visibility and conversions

✅ Tip: If title isn’t optimized yet, use Supplier as Title Source to avoid mismatches.

5. Upload & Automate

Goal: Move curated products into your store efficiently

My Products → Upload All / Upload Selected via AutoDS integration

Choose lister, eBay store, marketplace, and Title Source (Supplier/eBay)

Or export CSV to use with monitors or manual uploads

✅ Tip: Always enable Exclude VeRO Brands & Exclude Restricted Keywords for safety.

6. Build a Competitor Watchlist

Goal: Create a weekly pipeline of new winning items

Add strong sellers to Watchlist; rescan every 2 weeks

Leave notes on pricing style or strategy to segment competitors

Use recurring scans to expand and refresh your product pool

✅ Insight: Turning competitors into a tracking list = continuous product discovery.
