Mix Up Your Listing Times To Test Sales Results on eBay

You will not learn any earthshattering news by reading this guide, but you may learn how to make few extra bucks every week on ebay.

Many sellers on ebay are so worried about the time of which there item ends but I have found that this has little to do with most sales.  There are certain items that may seem hotter at certain ending times for example, things of interest to hard core computer nerds seem to sell in the late hours of the evening and home and garden items seem to sell in the daytime, this is mostly due to lifestyles of these buyers.  However if your item is listed for a few days these person will still have plenty of time to bid at day or night.

I only say this because we have found unexpected success by listing items at the WRONG ending times.  Why is this.   Well there over 180 Million people on ebay.  So think of it this way, not everybody viewing your items are in the same time zone as you so trying to get something to end at the right hour of the night for your buyer is nearly impossible to achive anyways.

I propose you take one of your hottest sellers and place that item starting every 4 hours throughout the day.  Next, wait a week.   Now check your results for yourself, did the items that ended at logical times do better?

You may find a new bestseller this way as well if you take some time to research these methods.

 

Hope you enjoyeed this guide,

Nick
