This works best for me, also. I agree that many bidders don't want to wait the extra three days in a regular auction format. For fixed price, those two weekends you have with a 10-day auction are well worth it. I also create my listings a day or two in advance with a certain start time so that when they are listed, they appear immediately.Also- people who use sniping software tend to "set it and forget it", so to speak...so end time is not altogether crucial for a lot of buyers. That being said, I also go for the 10-day listing with two weekends in there if it's a Fixed Price item, but 7 day for auction as people often don't want to have to wait an extra three days to get their final bids in.
