USE MARKETPLACE RESEARCH
In the vein of ???you get what you pay for,???
eBay provides much greater selling metrics
for a fee than it provides in its free offerings.
Marketplace Research is a subscription-based
service with three levels (see Figure 5-9) that
lets you get up to 90 days of past data on
several parameters of completed items for
auction and fixed-price listings, as well as
for eBay Store listings. Current data is also
provided for active listings. You can display
charts and perform searches to narrow your
focus, for example, to specific sellers and eBay
Stores.
1. Click Site Map on the eBay header. Under
Selling Resources, click eBay Marketplace
Research.

TIP
Depending on the type of items you sell, you may
be better suited for the services of one Marketplace
Research subscription service over another.
