I usually list mine for 10 days, and occasionally start getting watchers within the first couple of days, but more often don't get any until the last day or two.0

I usually try to list on a Thursday or Friday - for 10 days - that way you cover two weekends with the listing.
As CMP says above, whilst you will get watchers you don't usually get any bids until the last day or so. This goes for everything, not just clothes.0 -
I agree with the above post (2 weekends) - although it depends what you are selling, you can either list it for 7 days, see how it goes and then change it to 10 days later on (as long as there are no bids!)
Clothes tend to attract last minute bidders or bidders who want it now - try and 'buy it now' first for 7 days? - If not joy then relist for 10 days, auction
Good luck0 -
well i listed them for 7 days if no lucky i relist again. still no lucky buy now then in to my shop. lolE-bay saving pot = £0.000

I agree with above, it depends on the item. I've sold a couple of items of clothing on BIN (7-10 days) that didn't sell until an hour before the end of the auction. Then again I just sold a worn Next jacket (7 day auction starting at 99p) that had watchers and bids within hours of listing it! So you never know.:www: :: MFi3 ::

If I put items on as BIN, I add a couple of pounds when listing it for 10 days, then after 3-4 days, start to reduce it and put in Best offer. I always write something like this in describtion, "keep watching if you are interested as I ill be lowering price near the end of week"
Sometimes i get watchers, sometimes i dont.~~~~~~~~~~~~:kisses3: "In Raising Your Children;" :kisses3:"Spend Half As Much Money n Twice As Much Time."0
