View the biggest/top sellers on eBay.
Here are 2 free sites that list (most of) the top eBay sellers. I say most because I am not sure how all the data is collected and I hear some sites are missing. But if you like looking at this sort of data, you will enjoy them anyway.

View an eBay seller’s negative feedbacks.
When you are looking to buy something from a seller on eBay and you need to see where their faults lie the best way is to view their negative and neutral feedbacks.
Most of the time you will find a common theme. They might have poor shipping, slow dispatch, poor product quality, etc. But to find out you often have to wade through many hundreds or even thousands of feedbacks to find your answers!
Well, here is a nifty tool that I have used over the years.

Just enter the eBay user ID and view all of their negative and neutral feedbacks!

Looking for more help and other like minded sellers when you are beyond that of a small stay at home seller?
Check out pesa at www.gopesa.org. We are members of this group which contains about 400 large eBay sellers. The requirements to join are quite a bit more than the minimum eBay powerseller requirements but if you qualify there are some interesting sellers and some good discounts and programs available to members. It is mostly of benefit to US based sellers but it has just been announced that PESA Australia is launching soon.
Some of the benefits include being part of PESA’s own online mall, discounts on Fedex shipping, pre-approval for Amazon selling and more.

I suppose I had better give up one of my favourite eBay tools… it allows you to enter a eBay seller’s ID and then browse their months sales and total it up. You can even dump the info into a spreadsheet and analyse the item breakdown if you like.
I use it as a quick guide to see how much someone is selling into a category, what their turnover is like etc. If you know they sort of product buy prices they are getting (in your own category you should have a good idea) it can help you identify
As you can see i use this tool for competitor and market analysis (hey, I am not just doing this for fun you know!)
The tool is from a website called ‘Goofbay’.
You can see it here in this link. Have a play, you might learn something.

Came across these cool customer support tools for eBay and other online sellers today. We use a similar system that we coded ourselves to handle the hundreds of customer emails every day, but these are neat and cheap.

Any serious online seller knows, you have to automate as much as possible. Save some time by replying to customers quickly.
