There are times in life when we have been knocked to the floor just once too much. There are times when we think why, me, why us. To help people who are going through one of these spells, watch, listen, read and then get up, and take action.
I guess you will have heard the phrase “Finger On The Pulse“. People use this term when they are talking about life, business, or what is happening. But today I want to talk about the phrase “Finger On The Pulse” in relation to your eBay business. All too often when we are looking for a new product to sell on eBay we just take a look at what the local Cash and Carry has (or where ever you source your products from) and go and buy a few or a pallet load. Now while mostly this can work out OK, there is a way to to source products that people are looking for and are doing searches for right now on eBay.
I am talking about eBay Pulse. eBay Pulse is very unique in the way it gives you the data. Unlike many research tools eBay Pulse, pulls it’s data from the search that are happening right now on eBay sites across the world. (In fact each eBay country has it’s own eBay Pulse and the data is different in each country).
When you first begin to use eBay Pulse to do your research you are best to stick with the country where you list, and once you are used to using it, then branch out into other countries where you wish to sell. But once you have used it, is is the same the eBay world over.
To help you understand eBay pulse better I have included a video by a good friend of mine Amanda O’ Brien. Amanda is a powerseller and sells on eBay on a daily basis so she knows what works and what does not work.

I guess lime most people we all look forward to a new day, week, month or year. We have been going through a very good spell, our sales are up, we have been able to source some wonderful items to list, people are talking to you, and there are no cross words with anyone. You could say life is good. But then we wake up one morning and from the time you open your eyes to you go to bed everything seems to be going wrong. Orders do not turn up, you get bad feedback, and those people who were your best friends seem to have dropped you for a new set of friends. You look at your life and say “I have done nothing different what has gone wrong” – Well it could be Life. You see in life we have good spells and bad spells. But it is how we re-act to the bad spells is what matters.
When “Bad” stuff happens we should not lash out at people, or when we get a return, we should not take it personally, but we should say “Ok,I have had a bad spell, So what and move forward and not dwell on the bad hours or days in our lives. Yes we may go through long spells on a down period, but it is how we react, that makes us grow. We need to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get on. Yes we may fall over loads of times, we need to pick ourselves up and watch our steps. Check our roadmap for ourlives and see if we need to pick another route, a route with less stones in it to trip us up. But even when we trip up and fall down we need to say what have a learnt from that fall and how can I make a difference from what I learnt when I got back up.
And no matter what if we have had a good day or a bad day we need to give thanks to those around us, to those who support us when we feel down and to those who give us a smile or a phone call. More important we need to say Thanks to God, for the wonderful day, we have had, for the air we breathe and the birds in the air. We need to thank Him for the clothes on our backs, the internet we use day in and day out to make a living. Just a Simple thanks will do, but it will make all the difference.
eBay is 15 years old, and has grown from a small business to a global company. Pleasase watch the video, and join us in saying Happy Birthday eBay……………………………
