Introduction
- In this article, I will be answering the question of what time should I list my eBay auction.
- I will show you how to use my secret tool, SaleHoo, to find the best eBay auction end time for your listings.
- I will explain why it is so important to list your auction at the best time.
- I will also give you other great tips for creating a successful auction listing.
- To figure out the best eBay auction start time and end time, I use SaleHoo’s Market Research Lab. It tells you the best time to list different items.
- The Market Research Lab is a free tool they have included with their directory which features 8,000+ suppliers of cheap products.
- You can use it to find items with high demand, but low supply.
- If you sell products on eBay for profit, I highly recommend you get SaleHoo.
- If your auction ends at a time when a lot of people interested in that item and niche are online, then you will get more bids. Listing at the wrong time loses your potential profit.
- Different niches have different groups of people interested in them with different computer habits. E.g. College students stay up at night and bid late, but stay-at-home-mothers go to bed earlier.
- SaleHoo takes the ‘guessing game’ out of this and figures it out for you.
- You need to include a picture. A picture you have taken yourself is better than a stock image, as long as it is clear and not washed out.
- Include a description, and make it as in-depth as you can. Don’t just write a few sentences.
- Including details on refunds/returns and shipping information helps to make you more professional, so people will trust you.
