Best time to list an item on ebay evenings?

What the best time to list an item on ebay? I gather during the week from 7pm to 9pm? When most people are on the site thus getting more bids?

I decided on Monday especially during a promotion ending at 11.59pm very few people will be on the site uk wise so maybe list early at around 8pm tonight like I did with an xbox 360 console bundle.  Any tips and help appreciated always room to learn especially from others.

Think about what you're selling - who is likely to buy it - make sure that your auction ends at a time when there might be a lot of your demographic near a computer or on their mobile with time to spare. No point having an auction that finishes at midnight on a Friday night if your target is 60-80 year olds - as many (not all) will be tucked up in bed.

Not that it helps you now but eBay state that more sales happen on a Sunday so maybe have it end between early and mid evening on a Sunday (possibly 8pm-10pm)? Although as cymruchris said, it does depend on your target audience.

Or maybe consider listing it for a fixed price on a "buy it now" listing?

Ebay say there are more sales on a Sunday than any other day of the week - so I do a few auctions then. I also find Monday nights quite successful, but I avoid Friday and Saturday nights for auctions.
My BIN items though, which make up the majority of my sales tend to be in the daytime at odd times like 11am, or overnight!
