Answer
Forgive me, this makes no sense.  

If I can glean a bit of what you're asking, it appears that you are wondering if the websites who advertise that they seem to know 'what customers want' are for real.  If so, I cannot really answer except to point out that with more than 10 million members, there is not really any way for anyone to know for sure what customers want.

The average wholesale site may SAY they know what customers want, but in reality, what they are doing is getting you to buy their product.  They have, most likely, a product which sells well, but in the long run, you have to do the research yourself to make sure that the product IS selling and will sell HIGH ENOUGH to make you a profit.  There is no use in buying a hot product which you buy for $10 and which sells for only $5 on Ebay.  Once you find the product, get the average Ebay selling price and then see what the wholesale cost will be.  This will tell you whether or not you can make money on Ebay with this product.
