Here's a good tip for making you auction/listing have a better chance of seeing some last minute action.  As you know, whether you list a sale for one, three, or however may days.  The same point of the day or night that you submit it is the point in which it will end.  Say for example you have a one day listing that you submit at 3:00 am.  This means of course that in 24 hours the sale will close.  Now I don't know about everybody else,  but I'm not usually up at that hour waiting for a sale to end so I can get that last second bid in.  So,  when you list an item on ebay.  Take into account the best time for the listing to end.  You know that for the most part people are at work during the day in the middle of the week.  So if your listing ends say from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm your going to have many more buyers at home and still up that can have the opportunity to make that winning bid than you would at say 2:00 pm when thier still at work.  More bidders,  more bidding.  See what I mean.  As for the weekend/Sat&Sun many more people will be at home during the day.  But you still want to try and avoid ANY listing to end in the wee hours of the mourning.  So remember to submit when you want it to quit.

See ya on Ebay
