EB:eek:

Apkin ..what do you think?
 

About 3 DAY Auctions??? Avoid ??

Thoughts

EB:confused:

I did the 3 day auction, And It did fine and I got paid faster instead of waiting 10 days for the auction to end

Yeah, I have found out since that the 3-day thing only hurts 0-fb accounts if eBay (in all its infinite wisdom) deems your items "high risk".

fyi- if you are listing a vero item, and you have maneuvered the spelling of the title, make sure you keep it at a 5 day or 7 day with a buy it now.. you can list it 1 day after the titles been changed, but they got me 3 times on that.. when i changed up to the rules---5 or 7 nowadays on vero items, its ok,, last year we used to do 1 day, no more

Whens the best day and/or time to have a US auction end?
 

I was just wondering what some of you guys think. My auctions that end on friday don't sell as good as sunday or monday. What does everyone think?

This site is great for giving you statistics on auction listings. It's free to register and well worth it.

Another good one is called TeraPeak I think, but I haven't used that one in awhile.

Type in keywords for your type of listings and you will see the trends average start price, keyword recommendations, best categories, best time to end, etc.

HI: Years ago-it used to be a "power seller" secret to have your auctions end on a Sunday evening, as everyone is home, etc.
__But then everyone caught on..
I still end some on sunday eves, but most on a friday eve, sat morn, as people have their paychecks

thanks for the info "junkymail" great tool to have.

I usually end mine on a Sunday when people are home.

sunday is the busiest on ebay for americans.

i usually list weeknights when i get home from work

The best time is normally. 6-10 p.m east coast standard time, or whatever time is relevant to that.

when to sell
 

if you know what item sells, and you sell worldwide, you can pretty much list anytime. i use to sell my items in 3 day listings. and everyday i would sell all my items and i would post items to sell that same day. the best times would probably be around 5-8 pm thats when most people are up. well most of my customers were from the east coast and i liveon the west.
