Exact Item Finder
📚 What This Tutorial Covers
Understand the Item Finder
Goal: Learn how to locate exact or similar supplier products for eBay listings using ZIK’s Item Finder.
Inside the Competitor Research Tool, you’ll find the Item Finder icon — a small box with the Amazon logo and a green check mark.
The Item Finder automatically compares eBay listings with supplier marketplaces like Amazon (and others).
✅ Tip: Use this tool to instantly verify supplier sources, prices, and profit margins for your competitors’ listings.
How to Read the Icons
Goal: Understand what each symbol means and how to act on it.
- 🟩 Green check mark: ZIK found the exact same product on the supplier marketplace.
- 🟧 Empty box (no check): ZIK found similar items, not an exact match — these often yield higher margins and lower competition.
- 🟥Red box: No matches were found; you can locate it manually.
✅ Insight: Similar items can be a goldmine — they allow you to bring new but relevant products to eBay while maintaining competitive prices and keywords.
Find and Save Profitable Items
Goal: Identify high-performing listings to replicate or improve.
- Scroll through the list of competitor products.
- Look for items with high sales and low competition.
- Click the Item Finder icon to open the matched or similar product on Amazon.
- If it’s profitable, click Save to Folder and organize it under your supplier folder (e.g., Amazon Items).
✅ Pro Tip: Always compare supplier cost and shipping time to ensure consistent profit margins.
Manually Locate Unmatched Products
Goal: Learn how to find and link unmatched items manually.
If ZIK doesn’t find a match (red box):
- Click to view the eBay item title.
- Copy the key descriptive words (e.g., 29-inch universal spray wand).
- Search for them manually on Amazon.
- Once found, copy the ASIN (you’ll find it in the product URL or “Product Details” section).
- Go back to ZIK, paste the ASIN, and reload the item finder.
ZIK will automatically fill in:
- Supplier price
- Profit margin
- Product details
✅ Tip: Once linked, save it to your product folder just like the automatically found items.
Manage and Export Your Product Folders
Goal: Keep all your sourced items organized and ready for listing.
In My Products, open your saved folder (e.g., Amazon / Walmart).
You’ll see:
- eBay image and supplier image
- ASIN or supplier ID
- eBay and supplier titles
- Supplier price, eBay price, profit, sales, competitors
From here, you can:
- ✏️ Edit titles directly
- 🛒 Send to lister (choose store, marketplace, and title source)
- 📤 Export as CSV for manual upload
✅ Pro Tip: Use filters to exclude Vero brands or restricted keywords before listing.
