Seller: Best end time for an ebay auction
We have put together some pointers on how to make the most of your auction end time. Take some time to consider the type of people your product will attract, for example you wouldn’t be very successful if you tried to sell a pair of furry winter boots during the summer, or school uniforms with an auction end time of 3 ‘o’ clock in the afternoon on a weekday.
To obtain the best results view what your competitors are selling what times of day their auctions end, what time of day achieves the highest price. It is not just times of day that should be monitored; times of the month are just as important. The majority of people are paid at the end/beginning of the month, so you may see a greater interest in your items at the beginning of the month. October to December is the most profitable due to the Christmas build up.
Most auctions tend to finish between 8pm - 10pm, excellent time if you are at work all day or have children to tend to until bedtime. Another good time to end your auction is 12-2 when most people have their lunch break and have spare time to surf the net and check out ebay.
If you want to attract a Worldwide market, trial and error as well as intensive research will pay dividends, just establishing all the time scales would take a while. So I will leave that for you to work out…
