Is there a best day, time to have a listing on ebay reach the end? Someone told me to set it up to end saturday night around 11PM

How do you do it and how do you do it with multiple listings?

What say you?

    I don't sell much on eBay but have noticed that mid-week nights are pretty good.
    Usually my auctions end Wed-Thu 9pm-10pm eastern time.
    I tend to avoid sunday night.

    I think it changes depending on what you sell.

    I think 11pm is a tad late. I usually go for around 9pm-ish any Fri/Sat/Sun.

    Multiple listings should be spaced with enough time for the bidders to move on and try again....5-10 min.

    I usually end mine between 4-6 PST Sunday-Thursday.

    When I was more active on ebay, and before they forced you to use paypal, I ended a lot on Thursday night. My theory was people get paid mostly on Friday and they would win on Thursday and send payment on Friday.

    I have done very well by them. The nationwide exposure is worth the price of admission....better prices than my local B&M would offer

    9:30 p.m. Sunday Eastern time - most folks are home, it's not too late Eastern and it's not too early Western. I also like the above comments regarding Thursday evenings as well.

    9-10 pm EST Saturday gets me the most lookers. When creating listing for a few nickels more you can select a delayed auction start time and choose for free how many days to run (1, 3, 5, 7) or 10 days for a few more nickles. If you want to keep your nickels then "list now" at the same time of day you want it to end. As stated above best to stretch them out so a buyer can make last minute bids on more than one of your items.

    While it's not too difficult to maintain powerseller status, it's impossible to ascertain when it's a good time to sell stuff.

    listing has many options


    - 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, (30) day auctions (BIN)

    - ebay has option of start auction now or for a fee, you can delay for upto 24 hrs



    I think what you really are asking for is best length and ending time on eBay
