Best Time To Sell On E-Bay

[Paul Carcone]

It may be interesting for you guys to note that it has been identified that auctions that end on a Sunday evening are likely to have a higher final price that those ending at any other time. I suppose the rationale is that we have more time to sit and mess about with e-bay at this time rahter than any other night of the week.

As such, if you are selling something, set the duration to coincide with this timing or delay the sale of your goods until you can get one of the options to automatically complete the auction at this time.

I suppose that the reverse works for buying!

Great post, and I guess the worst time for an auction to end is Monday to Friday during normal working hours.

Also, it is a good idea to avoid auctions finishing on a bank holiday and other exceptional days such as world cup final etc when people would not normally be inclined to be in front of PC.
