Help With The Pros And Cons Of Different Ebay Auction Lengths

I have used 5, 7 and 10 days and find I get the best results with 7-day auctions ending on a Saturday or Sunday. More people check ebay at weekends and (as someone working normal office hours myself) I find it easiest to put the items on sale on a Saturday and then with a bit of luck get paid and post them the following Saturday.

If you are inexperienced with coins, trying to sell them on ebay will likely be less than fun.

But, to answer your question specifically - 7 days, open and close at 6 PM on Sunday.

A lot of people swear buy the Sunday night thing, I don't really believe in it though. Too much stuff ends on Sundays and people aren't going to sit at their computer with multiple different windows open. David Lawrence auctions end sundays, another one ends on sundays, a lot of ebay ones end on sundays ect, plus there is also football on sundays now. There's really no magic time for ending things and really does kind of depend on what it is.

To me 3 days was always the perfect length for auction time, but they charge for those now so 5 is the second best. Again it depends some on what it is but most things are common enough that people will just find another one when you make them wait a week to see if they could be the winner.
