eBay dead this weekend?

Is anyone else finding eBay really slow this weekend? I started an auction on Thursday and sold a few on Friday but absolutely nothing has sold today:eek:
I normally expect to be quite busy over the weekend - am I missing something??!!:confused:

  • Glad it's not just me, perhaps things will pick up in the night. I sometimes get people buying in the early hours of Sunday morning, don't know whether they are sober and know what they are doing....

    Strange thing - I put my first auction on eBay.com on Thursday too and that has done exactly the same! Maybe it is something catching!

    I am waiting for 20 lots to end tonight, only got bids on 4 so far, plenty watching so you never know and they were all 10p listings so no big deal if they don't sell...fingers crossed for everyone.

    can't be me as I've spent what seems like the last 24 hours buying Christmas presents on ebay, although I have had some fantastic bargains!
  • It is always quite slow on Saturdays in the run up to Christmas everyones in the high street. Other years I have found Mondays quite busy when people are looking for what they saw in the high street.

    Hope that's true for you guys.

    What if it sells for 10p? Are you happy to sell at that?
  • Thanks shop-to-drop! :j That makes a lot of sense. Although you can't get my item on the high street that is where my buyers could be!!

    Might rethink my auction timings around Christmas and not start on Thursday - anybody got any bright ideas on this??!

    I got a few things for sale but they end Wed/Thursday, have had a lot and I mean a lot of interest and offers to end auction today, or is everyone talking about last weekend?
