The Idea
01 — Executive Summary: Marketplace Trend Scout is a product research powerhouse that identifies high-velocity, low-competition products for Etsy and eBay sellers. It aggregates search volume, 'Best Seller' badges, and social media hype into a single 'Profitability Score.' 02 — Problem/Solution: Mos...
Target Customer
Side-hustlers, stay-at-home parents, and professional e-commerce resellers who spend hours manually searching for profitable products to flip or create.
Core Problem
New sellers on Etsy and eBay face a 90% failure rate because they enter oversaturated niches (like basic jewelry or t-shirts) or pick products with razor-thin margins. They lack the data to see 'Demand vs. Competition' ratios in real-time.
Core Technology
Etsy Open API, eBay Developers Program API, Python (Scrapy/Selenium) for web scraping, OpenAI API for niche categorization, and Next.js for a high-performance web dashboard.
Business Model
SaaS Subscription: $39/mo (Hobbyist - 50 niche searches) / $89/mo (Pro - Unlimited searches + AI Sourcing Assistant) / $199/mo (Agency - Multi-user + bulk listing exporter).
