However, before that dream can become a reality, you need to do many important things while running an auction business.
One of these important things to do is to pick right products to sell. The right products to sell are ones that people on eBay want or will buy.

"In Demand"
One of these four areas on eBay's site is "In Demand" section. There is an "In Demand" link for each of main categories on eBay. Listed in these areas are previous month's top ten products that people wanted and top ten searches for each subcategory.
