Frequently asked questions

What does Market Analyzer do?

Market Analyzer scans the stores of eBay sellers you choose and shows what they sell and how much has sold. You can filter results by sold quantity, price, and demand, then send titles to Profit Hunter to find matching supplier products.

How do I add competitor usernames to Market Analyzer?

Type eBay usernames into Competitor Usernames, one per line, or click Import to load a .txt or .csv file. Sellers you save with the Save eBay Seller icon on eBay search results are added too.

What do "Total Sold History" and "Items Sold Within" do?

Total Sold History set to On collects each item's sold history over time and scans sellers one at a time. Items Sold Within keeps only items that sold within the window you pick, from Last 1 Day to Last 90 Days or All Time.

Which Scanning Threads setting should I use?

Start with 1 — Slow & Safe, which is least likely to trigger eBay's bot check. Move to 2 — Balanced or 3 — Fast only if scans run smoothly.

What happens when Market Analyzer shows "Rate-Limit Detected (Pardon Our Interruption)"?

eBay showed a bot check, so Market Analyzer closes its scanner tabs and pauses for 60 seconds. It then resumes from the same position, or you can click Resume Now.

Why were my own store IDs removed from the Market Analyzer input?

Market Analyzer removes your own eBay store IDs so you only scan competitors. DropFlowLister records your eBay store ID when you use eBay while signed in.

How do I filter and sort Market Analyzer results?

On the Scan Results page, click Filters and set sold quantity, price range, competitors, or sold window. Pick a Sort By option and click Apply Filters.

How do I export or import Market Analyzer results?

Click Export JSON to save your results to a file. Click Import JSON to load a file you exported before.

How do I send Market Analyzer titles to Profit Hunter?

Filter the results, then click Send to Hunter to send all visible titles. Open the Profit Hunter tab and click Search Titles.

What does "Continue & Replace" do in Market Analyzer?

Continue & Replace removes all items waiting in Profit Hunter and adds your new titles. Click Cancel if you want to transfer the old items to Flow Lister first.

Can I resume a Market Analyzer scan from a position?

Yes. Set Start Position to the seller number you want, then click Start Scan.

How do I delete Market Analyzer results?

Select items and click Delete Selected, or click Delete All. Deleted results can't be recovered, so export JSON first if you need a backup.

Which eBay sites can Market Analyzer scan?

Market Analyzer uses the eBay region set in the popup, which is the United States or Canada today. More eBay regions are in progress.

Why do sold counts look wrong or missing in Market Analyzer?

Sold counts depend on the data eBay shows for each item. Turn on Total Sold History for more detail, and remember that some items show little or no sold data.
