Find the Right Competitors for Your Business Model
Goal: Learn three proven strategies to find competitors that match your business model so you can build a strong watch list and consistently uncover winning products.
✅ Insight: The stronger your competitor list, the easier it becomes to find proven, high-demand products every week.
Why Finding the Right Competitors Matters
Before saving sellers to your watch list, you must know how to find the right ones.
This is a core habit for every successful seller.
Once mastered, you can save dozens of competitors, scan them weekly, and consistently extract their best-selling products.
Strategy 1: Market Insights Dashboard (Recommended Method)
Go to the Market Insights Dashboard.
In Seller Settings, choose:
• Marketplace (e.g., eBay.com)
• Business Model (Dropshipping, Arbitrage, Wholesale, etc.)
• Source Website (e.g., Amazon US)
After saving, the Trending Dropshippers column updates instantly with sellers matching your criteria.
This list refreshes every 24 hours.
🔥 Sellers with a flaming icon generate high sales relative to their listings — prioritize analyzing them.
Click the Spy icon to open the Competitor Research Tool.
If promising, click Save and add them to your watch list.
Strategy 2: Product Title Scanning
After finding one strong competitor, use product title scanning to find more.
Many sellers use similar or identical product titles.
Click the magnifying icon next to a product.
You’ll see additional listings using the same or similar titles.
You’re not analyzing the product here — you’re identifying more sellers.
✅ Tip: Use the Dropshippers Only filter to see sellers identified as dropshippers by ZIK’s algorithm.
This is a fast way to expand your competitor list with sellers using the same model as you.
Strategy 3: Trending eBay Products Section
Inside Market Insights, check the Trending eBay Products section.
All sellers here match your marketplace and business model settings.
They are currently selling trending products, making them strong competitors to track.
This section also refreshes every 24 hours.
Build the Habit
Use these three methods consistently:
• Trending Dropshippers
• Product Title Scanning
• Trending eBay Products
Over time, you’ll build a powerful competitor army you can scan weekly to uncover proven, high-demand products.
