If you have found that profitable niche on eBay, and are enjoying a high number of sales, it makes good business sense to consider what related products you can also sell. By offering combine shipping, you can greatly increase the chances of someone buying a related product to what they have already bid on.

How can you find related products, particularly if you have stumbled across a hot product area you are not that experienced in?

Look at your competitors auctions. What are they trying to up sell with the same items? What other auctions are they running for items that are related to your hot product?

Then look at online stores (of the non-eBay variety). What products are they selling in the same category as your hot product? Do they suggest any related products?

Don't forget to have a look at Amazon.com to see if your product is listed there. Amazon makes very good suggestions for products people have purchased with the product you are viewing, as well as product people recommended in place of the what you are viewing. So you could definitely get some great product ideas from this feature at Amazon.

When you have a few products in mind, then purchase a few of them and list them on eBay. You can see if they market well on eBay with what you are selling right now - be sure to add Cross Promotions to all your auctions and recommend them to potential bidders. This is a great way to test and see if you can up sell any of these products with your current hot product. And that want to see what sells well and what doesn't, you can start buying those products in bulk or at wholesale prices.
