Best time to list?

lexuslass

Hi...

I spent all day yesterday getting my auctions ready to list through auctiva...was going to list them all tonight...but...I ended up taking my daughter to the cinema to see the Hannah Montana movie...(which I must say is fab!!)

Anyway, I am normally a person who will only list on a sunday on ebay (don't know why but I just do....my theory is that people generally have chillout days on sundays and browse ebay?)

My question is.... shall I leave my auctions now and wait until next sunday to load my items...or should I do it on weekdays? i know this has been asked before on here.... I have done a search and nothing came up relevant....or current!

My items are all clothing.. mainly next....some DKNY

thanks in advance!

Sunday evening finishes reap the highest dividends.

A good way to work it out is check the best prices achieved for similar items. When they started and when they finished.

thanks guys! I always have thought sundays are the best days and have stuck to listing on sunday evenings..... am clearing out loads of stuff for a looming house move.... so trying not to lose time really as I have enough stuff left to list to last me for the next four weekends at least!!! grrrrr!!! things I have are all really varied .... baby clothes, kids clothes, my clothes, prams, pushchairs and loads of other baby items!!! x

Or Thursday and do a 10 day listing, thereby running it over 2 weekends.

Correct. It's a no brainer for auctions of higher value items.

I have started staggering auctions put something that gets a lot of views first and for the longest. Just so its easier for me to keep track and not have to post more than i can carry !

I tend to list on a Sunday or a Thursday if it is a 10 day auction and find that this is the best, well it works for me.

Surely if everyone lists to end on a Sunday evening the market will be saturated, although this depends on whether you are selling a one off or an item where there are loads. I find any eveing is good apart from Fri and Sat.
