Have your auction end on Sunday about 7 pm. That's when the most people are shopping.





Hint: Never ship an item without purchasing a delivery confirmation from the post office.What time of day would be best to list an item for sale on ebay?
I have been an ebay member since 1997 both as a buyer and a seller. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter when you start or end your auctions. Therefore, to pay extra for a specific start / end time is a waste of money for sellers but an additional profit for ebay. Some sellers will say weekends are better to end your auctions. However, many people I know reserve the weekends for family and leave the web world behind. Many single people are out on the town getting soused in their favorite bars. Sundays are good for golf, other sports, watching football games or just having fun with their kids.





On the other hand, Tuesdays have been shown to be the most productive day of the workweek for American workers. So, the way I see it and human nature being what it is, many of these same folks think they deserve a little goof off time the rest of the work week: Wednesdays, Thursdays and/or Fridays. Most often, I have my auctions end mid Wednesday afternoons but this is nothing more than a preference and pure whimsy on my part. It has nothing whatsoever to do with thinking I will get a higher closing price.





You also have to keep in mind that most prospective buyers don’t go on ebay blindly looking for merchandise. 99% of the time, they know exactly what they are looking for and they will find your listing before the auction ends provided you are auctioning what they want. If they don’t find what they are looking for with a search, they can simply use the ‘SAVE SEARCH’ feature. When you use ‘SAVE SEARCH,’ ebay will send an email alerting you to new listings for the items you are looking for, along with the pictures and the links. In addition, many of these same buyers will use SNIPE bids so they don't even have to be online to enter their bids.





This being the case, you may actually want to schedule your auctions to end when it is more convenient for you.
Saturday, around 7pm.


That way it will go off on Friday around 7 which gives people time to get home from work AND usually Fridays are pay days, so more people would be inclined to bid on it because they have a fresh paycheck!
Afternoon and evenings....
Very early in the morning...........
6...everyones usually out of work at that time.
4 a clock
time wouldn't really matter. i prefer friday and list it for a week.
