Best Time to Run Auctions These Days on EBAY (Still Sunday Night?)

MintacularMintacular Posts: 1,138 ✭✭✭

Seems like Probstein PWCC and Greg Morris clog up the Sunday Night time slot. -So is best to run yours then too to get more exposure or do they tend to get overlooked by the big-hitters? Any other better times? Saturday Night? Sunday Afternoon? Any weekday night i.e. it doesn't really matter?

  • using a 10 day is good. Try and set up like on Friday. This will cover the weekends 2xs.
    For me- Sun nights is ready to work night....I find it more on a Fri night or all day Saturday.

    I think Wednesday and Friday nights are worse for ending auctions.

    As a buyer, right about now is when I am available to look. But I don't buy much on ebay anymore

    I agree with setting up as 10 day auction and I think ending on a Tue or Wed can be beneficial as (at least from my memory) it seems like eBay's promos (bonus bucks and flash coupons) seem to fall on those days disproportionately frequently.

    I think Monday and Tuesday nights are pretty solid to end auctions these days.

    From my buying perspective, the end of auction time is irrelevant. I try to take a break to look for items during the work day at some point, and then if I find something of interest, I enter the item number into my snipe account and let it go automatic from there, so it makes no difference to me when it actually ends. I almost never have time to search for items on weekends though as there is always something to do on those days that does not involve being at the screen.

    I like the 10 day auction on items I want the extra attention. Ending 10pm ET is solid as you get the eastern time bidders and also folks on the west coast. I have sold well on Sunday nights.
