Hi,

I have developed customized product using GPL License software.I want to sell this product online.

People will buy it online and if required modify it as per their requirement.

What type of licensee I should use?

All the code that is GPL will need to remain GPL if thats your question.

I think you have to includes the sourcecode with it, if its based on GPL.
It does say in the GNU GPL Licence:
Quote
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

Quote
You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License [GPL] to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.

Quote
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source

If you are going to sell it put it under your own custom SLA
Only ten percent of the code in any given program will ever execute
The sooner you start coding a program, the longer it will take
