Ebay auctions starting on a Thursday

I meant to list some items last night on ebay but didnt get round to it. Following advice on here I wanted to start it last night for 10 days. Do you think its worth waiting until next Thursday or listing it tonight?

  • I always list auctions for 7 days starting on Sunday, or for less days but always to finish on a Sunday evening, because apparently this is when the greatest amount of people are on ebay more than any other day in the week.
  • cazarol - if you need the money sooner, start a 7 day auction this Sunday evening :)

  • Ebay have done cheap listing days on a Thursday. When this is the case I will list my stuff and let it run for 10 days so that it ends on a Sunday.
    The last cheap listing day was a Wednesday, so I couldn't have them ending on the Sunday, instead they will end on the a Saturday. I am not to bothered when they end if I have listed them for next to nothing.
    If I am doing a normal listing then I do tend to try and list so that my items end on the following Sunday evening, wether they are listed for 3, 5 or 7 days.
