I was speaking to a good friend of mine who operates many businesses online and he just happened to mentionthat he gets many of his ideas from eBay.

Even more intriguing, he told me that he could tell how much of a given product was selling on eBay.

Now, I don't know about you, but I've been trying to figure out how to tap into eBay sales information for months now - but there just doesn't seem to be any way....

Until, this know-it-all let me know the simple, yet highly effective method he uses...

First, it is worth noting that you can get a summary ofthe hottest categories selling on eBay. While this is somewhat useful in locating trends and broad areas of interest, there is a more useful way to use the auctioncenter to test your own ideas.

Start by searching eBay for your keyword term + ebook.

For example, if you are trying to test "dog training",then you would enter "dog training ebook" in your search.

In most cases you will find at least one example, and inmany cases you will find lots of different ebooks listed.

The next step is to select a few examples that match closely to your idea or topic area. Bring the auction up,and now for the trick...

eBay provides great detail into auctions by member, including a complete detailed list of auctions and outcomeby member.

So, what you want to do is simply scan the members holdingactive auctions - selecting the option "search all auctionsby this member" and viola, you will get a picture of activity from this member.

Using this information you can judge if there are two salesof their product each day or 20. The idea is not to getan actual, accurate count, but rather a sense of how manycopies are moving through their auction.

You may be shocked by some of the results you see. Any existing ebook, report, course, training, audio or video that has activity daily - especially with multiple copiessold daily, will help to validate your market and topicarea.
