Yep, I find Sunday nights are the best time for me.

I don't think it makes any difference.

If people want what you're selling it doesn't matter if it ends at 2am on Tuesday morning or 6pm Sunday evening.

Yes people do tend to like bidding late on items, but if they want it they'll enter their maximum bid when they see it and that's that, it doesn't matter if they won't be around when it finishes.

And people shopping on a Sunday afternoon or whenever will still see your item regardless when it ends.

It does depend on what you're selling- in a busy category you have no chance without a good finishing time.

We sell pretty much nothing on a Sunday. Best day is Saturday, follwed by Monday, times are 5:30 to 7:30.

Depends what you are listing and on what format.

With BIN, time is irrelevant - Best Match will dictate what is shown and when.

WIth Auctions you need to consider the time your target audience is most likely online. Sundays and Mondays are generally best, but if you are selling something to appeal to mum or parents for example, look at ending them early afternoon.

There is that much junk listed at the moment with the free listings that you do need to think a bit more about how you list, and what titles and item specifics are used in order to rise above the rubbish. Lots of people are complaining about their items selling for a single bid of 99p at the moment.

Conventional wisdom suggests Sunday evenings, although of late I have had more luck on weekday evenings (perhaps due to Sundays getting a bit overcrowded).

Evenings are deffo best though - I pick up most of my bargins on auctions that end during the day.

Ebay might not be the best place for them, before you list check out Playtrade and Amazon first.
