Title says it all, how do you guys feel about using one day auctions vs. 3+?

EB don't like them unless it is in the motors section. You pays your money and you takes your chances

One day auctions have been a favourite of VERO and ⊗⊗⊗⊗ sellers for a long time. They figure they have a chance of getting in and out before Ebay spot them. I can't tell you if it works or not as I've never sold ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and I've never sold VERO. Ebay certainly know it goes on and so one day auctions get looked at.

If you are squeeky clean and your item is non-contencious then I can't see it being a problem. Personally I don't like getting looked at.

Be like the duck - all smooth and calm on the surface and all the activity going on underneath where no one can see it - works for me

Qualify that with what category, age of account & those extras, bballaw1, to give an idea of their suitability.

New accounts I dont bother. Aged accounts, from Thanksgiving Day onwards, I do one day auctions. For me, it depends on the season as to type of listings.

I actually post in jewelry(high risk), have 8 accounts running that do the same, and all are 4+ months old.

I usually mix in 1 BIN auction on each a month, which lists for 3 days but thats it. I think most of all I'm too cheap and don't want to pay fees for listing longer auctions lol.

Nice, very nice. It's good to hear perspectives, good to hear what works & what might not work.
Beat ebay ! Yeah!

All depends on the category and item too - what are you selling?

I mix sh*t up - 1 day, 3 day, 365 day - whatever - goes well but again, I don't do Ve ro stuff...yet.

See the whole concept of vero stupid in the first place. So you are saying if I go out and buy a product at the store, I am not allowed to resell it even if I havent even opened it yet?

I would steer clear of them on new accounts.

On new accounts in the UK you cant even list products in certain categories on 1 day auctions.

Afterall too your bound to get less visibility which can undoubtedley mean a lower selling price.

I like one day auctions, though 3 day BIN&BO is my favourite for many popular items.
