No, not niches you want to sell on on eBay. Niches you want to create your own sites and find affiliate products for. I hadn’t given this one much thought until I read about The eBay Method.

Most especially, I had never checked eBay’s Pulse.

Pulse lets you see the most popular searches, and you can refine by category until you find searches that meet your criteria. I think it’s pretty safe to assume that people browsing on eBay are looking to buy, and while they may be looking for a bargain, their interest may well indicate interest from other people as well. People you can sell products to from an affiliate site.

The eBay Method article gives very clear instructions on how to dig deep to find worthwhile niches and products. It looks like a wonderful niche research option, and being free makes it all the better.

One of the best things is how flexible this is. You can check the categories that interest you, and find out what products are likely to sell for you. From there you can check the search engines and see what kind of competition you’ll be facing and have a great chance to build a site that will sell.
