I've heard that Sunday evenings are the best time to list eBay auctions, do you agree? |

thursday evening for a 10 day listing, so that it finishes sunday night, next best is a 7 day sunday to sunday listing, regards jim |

I would tend to agree with the above… |

Yes I'm a fan of Sunday evenings, UK time – most likely to have people around for late bids. Remember time zones if your stuff gets overseas bids – Sunday evening is good for me, as it's a civilised hour in Canada and the States too, but the downside is it's an ungodly hour in the morning in Australia…. PS – As per fairoaks' post, it's not when you're listing that's actually important, but when it ends – I usually do a 7-day Sunday to Sunday, but the important thing is that it finishes on the Sunday, not that it starts on one. |

As above. Make sure it finishes on a Saturday or Sunday early evening. |

Put it on at the weekend that has a free listing. New items
go on when I get a chance over that weekend but items that I have not sold last time I relist at 8 pm UK time . This weekend we had a fee buy it now so started listing all my wargames/ aircraft magazines( wife said I do NOT want them) through Saturday as with buy it now most people will buy it when they want to and not hang on to the last minute.Found that a lot dose get sold at lunch times in the week guess it must me people sitting at a pc ect. with spare time . |

I'd agree with the mid-evening finish times in your best market time-zone. That, a decent picture or two and at least some effort with item description would be my top 3. |

I used to list Saturdays but I am thinking Sunday might be better as people have their games and outings on Saturdays.
I think its not a big issue though, it if they want the stuff bad enough and you have it priced low enough. Ebay shoppers want to pay as little as possible for stuff. |

I've always had success when it ends on a Sunday afternoon or early evening. Gives the UK a shot as well as East and West coast US. DM |

Have been using Monday evenings for years. Will try Sundays. |
