I find it doesnt matter when they end. There are people who go on the net in the day, some in the evening, some only at weekends, some in the middle of the night, some first thing in the morning etc etc. So whatever time you put them on it will be someones time they usually look at ebay. People will put a proxy bid in anyway if it's something they really want.

I think it depends what you're selling. Very specific unusual items should sell any time, but for more common items, where lots of similar ones will be listed, it's best to pick a suitable time. I find early evening is usually best, though kids' clothes will often sell during the day, while the kids are at school and the mums are at home. It's generally best to avoid about 4:30-6:15pm, when lots of potential customers are either on their way home from work or making / eating their dinner.

After 7pm on a Sunday night.... After the kids have been sent to bed, before mum n dad go to bed.

Thanks everyone for your very helpful replies!

I have 30 items on there now with varied ending days and times. Trying Sat / Sun (25 items) / Tue at the moment.

It was very interesting to see all the different perspectives, thanks again.
