What are the best auction end times for maximum item exposure?

pegasuscom · Jul 12th, 2008, 11:01 PM

I have kicked this around with lots of other Ebayers on different types of items and the most common answer is between 10:30-11:00pm EST. Any thoughts from the seasoned designer bag sellers on the board?

I actually end them earlier... no later than 10pm EST. If you are ending on a Sunday night or during the week, most people who have to work the next day are probably in bed or getting ready for bed around 10pm or a little earlier. IMHO I'd end between 9 and 9:30 EST.

I would say around 10-11 EST. By then, it's 7-8 PST, so most people are home from work by then, and it's not super late for those on the east coast, so you get both of them and everyone in between.

I try to do it at around 7-8 GMT. Like a member said above if it's too late some people will be getting ready for work, so i tend to put it on when they are home :)
