best time of day to sell

MajorDanby

In your experience with selling cards on ebay, what time of day on a weekday is best to end an auction? I have always ended auctions around 3 pm pst time with the logic that's when most west coasters are bumbling around the internet during work and when most east coasters may be at home check auctions before dinner.

any thoughts?

I always try to end mine between 8pm and 10pm central time. This seems to get the most bids for me.

I have no data to back it up, but I have figured that 6-7 p.m. West Coast (9-10 p.m. Eastern) was the best compromise. You give the California folks time to get home from work or the beach, but you also hit the East Coast crowd before they go to bed.

I usually end my auctions between 530 and 7 west coast time and run them from Mon-Thurs since a lot of people travel on the weekends. I have done well also selling on sunday nights.

I would stay away from early mornings, as well as Friday and Saturday nights.

I would try to end auctions on Sunday night.

I like Sundays between 4 - 7 PM Pacific time (7-10 Eastern).
Everyone's home from their Sunday activities finishing up dinner
and ready to buy?? I also like 6 AM Pacific time on Sunday morning.
Try to catch them before they leave. Sunday works for me so I can
also send out their stuff Monday morning after they Paypal.
