The eBay app now gives you access to the powerful Product Research tool (previously Terapeak Product Research), enabling you to research up to three years of eBay sales and pricing data right from your phone or tablet. Available now at no cost on the eBay app, Product Research is the essential tool for sellers of all levels, empowering you to make informed decisions wherever you are.
Why use Product Research?
Product Research equips you with key market insights, highlighting trends, demand, and competition. With this user-friendly tool, you're able to swiftly sift through three years of eBay data using keywords or product IDs, and refine your search with custom filters to access relevant data.
By revealing top-selling products and categories, Product Research can help you spot opportunities to expand your inventory with high-demand items, determine which items perform well, and the best times to list them. Optimise your pricing by analysing how similar items are priced across eBay, including actual sold prices, ensuring they remain competitive. Product Research will enhance your understanding of buyer demand, improve your listing strategies, and help lead to more effective sales.

Is Product Research the same as the regular Search of Sold Items, or different?
Product Research is more advanced than the regular Search for Sold Items. It lets you look back at sales from the last three years, not just the most recent 90 days. You'll see the real selling prices, including prices from accepted Best Offers. Plus, it provides extra information like the average selling price, price range, and shipping costs.
