Auctions ending during the day?

Hi, yet another question - sorry.
I have noticed that today is a free gallery listing day and it also happens to be a day off for me. I was wondering if I listed a few items during the day today would it be likely that my items would sell for less than if they closed as an evening auction?
If so then I will hang on until tonight to do them. Sorry to keep asking questions but I think I remember that someone on here said their auctions go better if they close during an evening and I wondered if that was the opinion of most people. I've only sold 2 items so far so I'm hardly an expert
Thanks for any advice you can give me on this.

My auctions definitely tend to go better if they finish in the evenings, but I think it really depends on what you are selling as others have reported that daytime sales don't affect their prices at all.

I think sales are better when the auction ends in the evening. If you have free time in the morning, I would suggest you download TurboLister. Whenever you have time write your description of items you want to list, save it to TurboLister and just upload the items to ebay in the evening. It really helps.
I usually add whatever item I come across to TL and upload them all to ebay when a free listing day comes along. Mind you I don't sell a lot. Just unused items around the house.I
