I've always been told Sunday night.... So that is when I've always listed. Working on the logic that people are at home not doung
much,waiting to go to work in the morning... But recently I don't think it he's made much difference.

Thursday evening (between 2000-2100) for a 10 day auction. You then get two weekends then for people to see your items. Always seems to work for me.

Aye it's all about the ending time and the duration of visibility. Max weekend and evening content, keep away from commuting times and try to
make it end on a Sunday evening when folk are relaxed at home watching TV rather than rushing in from work or dealing with the kids. 7 day, start
sunday 7-9ish, 10 day start thurs etc.
That said, I've never found it makes any difference as to whether something sells or not - that seems to depend entirely on the price or the
object. I've had some valuable stuff (dual mass flywheel in great condition with offer of testing and returning) up for £20, nothing for 5
attempts. 1988 peugeot 205 fan knob - £5. Random bicycle part that cost £3 when I bought it a year earlier - £10.

Agree with Sunday night, if it's something expensive you are listing having it end on the first few of days of the month is good for those who
are paid monthly as well. It's a lot easier shelling out big money with the full months wage behind you rather than half way through when most
of it is gone.

Depends what i'm selling, if its something fairly generic I don't think it makes much odds, but if its something a bit more specialist, as
said I aim for a 10 day listing ending around 6-10 on a Sunday evening.

Never really understood this, unless you're operating from a base of zero, it averages out anyway.

Most people live hand to mouth, I usualy buy more expensive things when ive been paid, then instead of flittering it away on small items throughout
the month.

A lot of people do operate from a base of zero or negative.

If I lived around a base of zero I wouldn't be ebaying I don't think. But it is a valid point, it seems many people do.

Loads of people get paid monthly and know it's all allocated for the month ahead but they still want what they want so if it's something
expensive I'm selling I usually try and have it end around the time that someone who is paid monthly has their full pay in the bank. Just helps
with getting the best price you can.
Even with the ones that can easily afford it it still helps them part with it when they have just been paid and the bank balance is looking healthy.
