If you are interested in selling pet products on eBay or your own online store then follow these simple tips and you will be off to a great start. Selling pet supplies on eBay or your own internet store requires that you know which products are in demand and where to find a reliable source of product.
First you should determine which pet products are in highest demand on eBay. To do this you will need to eBay Pulse. eBay Pulse allows you to see the top ten searches within a given category on eBay. So go to eBay Pulse and change the category to pet supplies. When I did this the top searches are:
- Dog
- Aquarium
- Pets
- Coral
- Fish Tank
- Fish
- Frontline
- Koi
- Advantage
- Puppy
You can drill down further by selecting a category within a category. So you get the idea, you are trying to find products that are in high demand on eBay.
Next, you need to find a reliable source of product. You can either search for pet supply dropshippers or pet supply wholesalers. I prefer to use drop shippers because of the flexibility. I don’t want to have to buy a lot of product first and then try to sell it. I would rather sell the product first and then buy the product from the drop shipper. There are many pet supply drop shippers on the internet. Be careful and do your research before trying to sell any of their products. There are many scam artist on the internet. Also try to find one that has a way to list items on eBay rapidly. This type of tool will make your life much easier.
