Ebay: Determine the average price - how it works
In this practical tip we will explain how to determine average eBay prices. You can use a special service for this or you can search for it yourself.
Free eBay Services: Get Average Price
There are special services that determine the average prices of eBay items for you. A well-known service is "Bidvoy":
- Open the "Bidvoy" website in your browser.
- In the search field on the main page, enter the product whose average price you want to determine, e.g. B. "Playstation 4".
- The service not only calculates the average price for you, but also the price trend of the item. So you can see at a glance whether it is worth waiting for the purchase or whether it is better to strike immediately.
- "Bidvoy" also shows the number of currently active auctions and indicates the current price range of the item.
Watch expired promotions: Determine average prices yourself
Of course, you can also roughly determine the average price yourself. You can then also consider special points such as the condition of the item.
- Open the eBay website and click on "Advanced search" in the top right corner.
- Enter the desired item along with additional information, such as "Wii U console like new".
- Before you click on "Find", under "Include in search" check "Completed offers".
- You will now see the last completed offers that match your search.
- You can determine the average price by, for example, adding up the prices of the first five offers and dividing them by five. The more items you use, the more accurate your average price will be. If you repeat the process at regular intervals, you can even calculate your own price trend.
