I know this has been covered before, but what would be the best day to end children's clothing auctions? With them waiving the fees, I figured I would list some of my stuff in lots and see what I get. I just don't know, especially with the holiday on Monday, what the best day to end the auctions would be? Any input?

I have heard that if you want a better chance on a deal-look for it to end on Sunday. So maybe any other day than a weekend- also maybe have it end in the early evening (no later than 10 at night). HTH!

I heard that the best time to have them end is Mon-Thurs evening between 7-7:30 pm. I would think that evening is better, but I would think more like 8:30 after the kids are in bed.

I have heard Sundays or Mondays as more people are surfing Ebay on the weekends and the listings show the items ending soonest first. Also if you are on the East Coast make sure the auction ends no earlier than noon EST so the west coast folks can bid. Most of my sales are from people in CA surprisingly and I sell a variety of items.

I love selling on EBAY so if anyone needs advice pm me.

I have followed these rules and done very well with ebay

I read an interesting article once that mentioned Mondays and Tuesdays are best, and otherwise any day that's not a weekend, with the arguement being that people are too busy on weekends to surf eBay.
