    Yeah it would be nice for you to let us know how you have got on too. Sometimes I think it is what I sell (not selling at mo anyway), but judging by the replies I think this is overall across the board.
    I wonder if now the new smoking law is in force, some people will stay at home more and have a drink/ fag, and come on ebay more????? I know quite a few people whom say that's it, they will not be going out as much....so it might have a knock on effect on Ebay.

    I tried sundays and it didn't work for me at all. Pretty naff. WHat I have learned from my experiment is that some things actually sell on a friday and saturday night (i never ended auctions on those days before) - though i wouldn't make that my best night. Monday night has been a good one. However, it's been very slow over the past couple of weeks, not sold hardly anything campared to about 3 weeks ago so maybe i need to take that into account... oooooo thank you for your ideas. jaquie

    i give up!!! I have sold so few things over the last 3 or 4 weeks that my original question seems completely irrelevant. It's more how do you get people to buy your stuff at all!! I give up!! Downhearted and desperate for money with £180 ebay fees to pay!! Jaquie
