Determining the Best Days and Times to List

Another big factor in how successful your auction will be is when your auction starts—because that affects when your auction ends. If you start a seven-day auction at 6:00 p.m. on a Saturday, it will end exactly seven days later, at 6:00 p.m. the following Saturday. As you’ll soon find out, some days and times are more effective than others.

Best Time of Day to List

Why is the time your auction ends important? Because some of the most intense bidding takes place in the final few minutes of your auction, from snipers trying to steal the high bid at the last possible moment. To take advantage of last-minute bidders, your auction needs to end when the most possible bidders are online.
