Terapeak's new international search tool allows an All-Sites Terapeak subscriber to search six eBay sites at once (.com, .ca, .co.uk, .com.au, .de, .fr) and receive comprehensive reports comparing sales from each site. It’s a feature we (Terapeak) feel very excited about, as global sales opportunities continue to open up across the eBay platform.
As an example, Terapeak has conducted a few popular eBay searches to see how sales stack up across the different eBay sites for iPod Nano, Wii and Twilight.
90-day international search for “iPod nano“
You can see results for certain keywords vary from site to site. Look at the discrepancy in average price and sell-through between Australia and Canada. Although eBay.ca returns a reasonably small sample size, price and sell-through on the busier sites are also significantly up from those in Australia — eBay sellers really need to consider item placement and international visibility.
90-day international search for "Wii"
The search term, “Wii” encompasses many different products — from consoles to games to accessories. The sample size for this search is big enough to assume a reasonable level of balance across the board. You may conclude Germany seems like a good place for Wii sellers (highest average price by far, second-highest sell-through), while the UK (lowest prices, lowest sell-through) lags far behind.
90-day international search for "Twilight"
Judging by sell-through rates, there appears to be a higher demand for the Twilight series books in both Australia and France and reasonably consistent pricing (except in France) across the board.
Using eBay market research will help an eBay seller to increase sales through an effective listing strategy.
