You’ve read it in the news; you’ve heard it from your friends: it’s difficult to make money on eBay. But hang on – let’s rewind that a minute and have another listen: “It’s difficult to make money on eBay”. When was it ever easy to make money? When were these so-called ‘golden days’ of eBay when you could throw something up you bought for $1 and instantly make $200?

Personally I don’t really think they existed. It’s just media hype. What has happened is that, for a while there, there was a flood of books and information on the market that said eBay was a money-maker’s dream. If we’d actually read these books properly, we would have also seen that it took time and effort to sell on eBay – even in the ‘good years’. But instead, we just chose to hear what we wanted to hear – that if you failed at shares, weren’t that entrepreneurial, hadn’t got many savings, eBay was the heal-all salve that would make even the slowest fool a millionaire.

But the fact is eBay is just like another other business. Just as you wouldn’t open a shop without a good business plan, you shouldn’t go on eBay without good research behind you. That’s where Hammer Tap comes in. In their words: “When choosing a lottery number, go ahead and feel free to guess. Just don’t run your business that way!” 

HammerTap is a market research tool that helps you sell intelligently. It stops you from make inaccurate guesses and losing money and provides you with the facts. For those of you who are short on time, or still learning their way around the internet or the computer, then Hammer Tap makes research fast and easy.

For example, you can search for the name of a product you’d like to sell and instantly get this information:

• the average selling price for a particular product
• the best time to start and end your auctions
• whether BIN or auctions work better for your product
• what listings features generate the best return
• which keywords work best
• the average revenue per seller

You can even use Hammer Tap to check out your competition. You can search for a particular seller and find out exactly what they are doing with their listings that makes them successful.

And the best thing about Hammer Tap? It’s affordable. For only $19.95 a month, you can search Hammer Tap’s impressive facility to your heart’s content.

So – if you are serious about building an eBay business, and that’s a business mind, not just as a hobby – I highly recommend Hammer Tap software. This tool will ensure you don’t waste your children’s college fund on your eBay experimentation!
