From the Google Sheet (attached a snippet) you will copy the ebay search string into the 'Research Products' tool with the same filters applied as in the screenshot. You need to then look at the price range and if there is an anomaly such as (£18-190) in comparison to the average (£40 as an example) you need to apply a price filter for something like £20-70 and copy and paste the Avg Sold Price and the Total Sellers into the sheet. Then move onto the next one. I have 123 lines in this sheet total and may have other sheets to complete afterwards which we can discuss as a follow on job if completed to high standard.
