📚 What This Tutorial Covers

‍

Set Up Seller Settings Correctly

‍

Goal: Make sure your Market Insights data is tailored to your wholesale business.

‍

Go to Seller Settings and select:
‍

• Marketplace: eBay
  ‍
• Business Model: Wholesale
  ‍

✅ Tip: Correct settings ensure you only see wholesale-friendly niches and products, not dropshippers or print-on-demand listings.

‍

Explore Trending eBay Niches

‍

Goal: Identify high-demand wholesale opportunities based on real sales data.

‍

Open Trending eBay Niches to view niches that performed best over the last 30 days.

‍
Each niche shows:

‍

• Keyword (e.g., Solar String Lights, RFID Wallets, LED Light Strips)
  ‍
• Total revenue and performance trend
  ‍

Click a niche to view its full statistics, including:
‍

• Sell-Through Rate
  ‍
• Total sold items & revenue
  ‍
• Average product price
  ‍
• Successful listings %
  ‍
• Market share breakdown
  ‍

✅ Insight: Choose niches with a balanced market share—where no single seller dominates more than 50%.

‍

Analyze Niche Products

‍

Goal: Find specific wholesale-ready items.

‍

Within the niche view, scroll to see:

‍

• Seller name, location, and feedback
  ‍
• Product title and images
  ‍
• 30-day and lifetime sales
  ‍
• Item price and origin
  ‍

Click the Item Finder to source this exact product from Alibaba.
‍

✅ Pro Tip: Look for products with steady daily sales trends and consistent pricing—these often perform best for wholesalers.
‍

Find Reliable Alibaba Suppliers

‍

Goal: Locate trustworthy suppliers with the best pricing and terms.

‍

After using the Item Finder, compare multiple Alibaba suppliers:

‍

• Verify Trade Assurance and Verified Supplier badges.
  ‍
• Review ratings and feedback.
  ‍
• Contact 3–5 suppliers for quotes and MOQ (minimum order quantity).
  ‍

✅ Tip: Actual MOQs are often negotiable—build relationships and confirm real shipping costs and delivery times.

‍

Evaluate Product Profitability

‍

Goal: Confirm if sourcing and shipping costs make the product profitable.

‍

Use ZIK’s eBay Fee Calculator to determine:

‍

• Final profit per item
  ‍
• eBay & PayPal fees
  ‍
• True landed cost (product + shipping + tax)
  ‍

✅ Insight: Focus on products that still deliver 20–40% margins after all fees for long-term sustainability.
