Best time to list on eBay?
 

Just wondering what the best time to list items on eBay is, specifically DVDs. I was thinking 3/5 day listing, started around 10pm EST. What do you guys think

Why not list 10 days BIN?

Best time would be from 4pm-7pm.. My price always the highest at those time.

4pm-7pm in which time zone? For some people, it matters.

4pm-7pm California time..also Monday and Sunday is the best day to sell.

Interesting. I have found that 5-9pm California time on Sundays is the peak. Mondays seem to work well from 11am-4pm California time.

Yes Sunday is the best and I get allot of international buyers winning auctions that close on Monday 4pm to 9 pm cal. time. On Sundays you may be missed because so many auctions close on that day so that's why Monday works too. BIN is a free for all, they buy at anytime for me.

I find national holidays, i run out of stock, so many orders cant keep up.....I list all week too..cant say I notice much difference, often people purchase BIN late Sunday for some reason

I should probably have 100 Ebay accounts to make it easy to list for me... I sell pricey vero, but can't sell more than 2 a month on each account an have only 3 active ones. So, if my item doesn't sell in my normal 7 or 10 day posting, I have to wait another 30 days to re-list. I am moving at snails peace in this game...
I was re-listing few things the other day and changed it from auction to BIN with Best Offer and tan I could select 30 day listing- or even Good Til Canceled...I selected 30 day, so we'll see. This way its up there longer and I don't have 20 day gaps with nothing on any more. Am I doing a right thing? And how come I can chose "Good Til Canceled" without being a store owner? I must be out of touch or something....

Not sure about the ''Good till canceled'' was too shaky to try it.
But that's exactly how I list my pricey VERO designer items! Buy it now or best offer with 30 days. It works like a charm specially when desperate buyers offer too low so you can ask them to pay outside of eBay! ;) :D

Thanks OfficialGenious...I was thinking the same, so I am glad to have confirmation on this. GTC is however still a puzzle for me...

auctions less than 7 days are very highly scrutinized by ebay. Although sometimes you can get items under the radar if they end quick enough, it's usually best to do a 7, 10 or 30 day auction to avoid suspicion.

Depending on how backed up ebay is, your item won't show for a few hours anyway. It really depends on when the item will end. Of course, with a buy it now option, it doesn't really matter when it ends. It ends when the person buys it :)

it depend on which dvds,if the dvds owner set some people on ebay to check,and then it is better do not list it on ebay ,or just 1 days listing.but for some dvds,you can list it for 29 days .So you need to do some search on ebay to see which model can be selling there,which can not.
