What time is best for an ebay listing to end?

[furrybean]

Whenever I list something on ebay I never know when to do it to make the most cash, so what are peoples opinions here?

[mattSV]

I always list so that they end Sunday afternoon/evening

[kwak zzr]

late fri or sat night when ebay bidders have a few beers inside them :wink:

Ending Sunday evening is always a winner. People are bored but tend not to go out on Sundays. Hence there's more people on eBay at that time.

wot e' said

best to list early thursday evening under the 10 day listings as well, that way it is listed over 2 weekends

I always list stuff on a 10 day listing, starting on a Thursday evening - then you get two full weekends worth of viewing and it finishes on the final Sunday evening...

I find that works (for me anyway ;))

Yup sounds like a good idea to me.

The 'Thurs - Sun' does sound good - but it can depend on what you are selling...

... or rather who your target market is.

Look at it this way - have you noticed the drop off in postings over the weekend on a forum? Many people actually spend more 'idle time' on the internet when at work - so for somethings ending an auction on a Friday afternoon or lunchtime can catch alot of bored people looking to do something to liven up the last few hours of boredom before leaving work! :wink:

does that cost extra?

[K]

No. Charges are not dependant on duration - unless you've got a store and then the longer term listings are cheaper.
