Vendio’s listing-creation tool lets you display images, set up promotions, and track all the items that were sold on eBay. The site also tracks customers, displaying their name, the last time they purchased products from you, when they bought those products, and more.

2. Vendio: Vendio has some offerings that should appeal to you.

Auctiva is quite powerful. You can create side-scrolling galleries with pictures you upload to the site (you’re allowed 1GB of storage), change the color of your listing page, and issue invoices. It won’t help you determine if you’re selling products that eBay users want, but it will help you easily manage your auctions. Admittedly, Auctiva is for active sellers, but at $9.95 per month for so many nice features, it’s an affordable offering.


HammerTap HammerTap is another eBay market research tool that provides basic information, like the number of active item’s listings, how many times a product has sold, and the average sales price of those auctions. One of the app’s nicest features is its “will it sell?” offering, which displays a scale, showing the percentage chance of the product selling on eBay.
