best time to advertise on ebay?

[hovis]

the sv is going on ebay, starting price of £999 no reserve.
but im a little confussed (it dont take much i know)

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 ;))

if i place the add on a thursday night it will end on a satuday night........ wont it?

If you list on a Thursday evening/night it will end on a Sunday evening/night. If you do a 10 day listing it is probably best to do it on a Wednesday/Thursday at between 4pm & 9pm. If its a 7 day listing, list it on Sunday at between 4pm and 9pm.

HTH :cool:

You can list it at anytime and pay 6p for a timed start. Makes it easier than making sure you list it at a certain time of day

[the_lone_wolf]

list it so it finishes on the 1st-5th of the month, most people get paid at the end of the month and you want to bag them before they spend it elsewhere;)

so tomorrow for a 10 day start seems about the best?

I start on a Monday, 7 day listing, 10:30pm ending. That way it's been on view for a weekend but ending on a Monday night because that's when people are home. You can ignore me if you want, but I made £700 on ebay this past month.

do you still pay if

a) it dont sell
b) you retract it early

[sumpyboy]

no you don't pay if it doesn't sell (make reserve price) or you end the item. Just add a line to the description saying that 'you reserve the right to end the auction as it's advertised else where'.

I have always though ending on sunday evening is a good time, most people are at home ready for monday moring and hopefully in a good mood after the weekend.

Yes you do pay the listing fees, but not the final value fees.
