Hi wolverinehd,

Great question! My best advice would be to try out our service and do some research on the items in particular you wish to sell. At the end of our workshop we'll provide a link so you can check it out.

so where does one find all this marketing research? I know I can see certain trends emerging in my own auctions, but how do I go about finding out what other people have been doing?

I'm listing pre-owned horse/stock trailers and work at a RV Camper dealer. Are there any workshops for eBay Motors?

Thank you for the information. I especially appreciate learning how to decide which key words to use in my titles. I find it terribly frustrating to type in a key word and have a hodge-podge of stuff come up for me to sort through, so I don't want to be guilty of doing that with my listings...... :) ....

Hi dollydoggy,

This research is available at our site, terapeak.com. All the examples you are seeing today can be done on your own items to help develop your sales!
At the end here I'll add a link for a trial of the site.

Thanks!
Denise

Have you had any experience with trade show distributors and are there any upcoming shows you would recommend?

How can you give quantity discounts on e-bay. For example, if I have 10 items listed for $6 each, when a person buys 1 they pay $6. But if they buy 10 instead of paying $60 I want to give them a discount of 10% How can you do that?
