Question
I was just wondering what day of the week is the best day to end an auction? And does it run by item? Or or there a general day that is best for all? Thanks in advance.

Answer
The time to end an auction depends on many things. Not only does it depend on the product, but also the people you intend to sell to.  

As an example, toys may tend to sell better during the day weekdays, as that's when stay at home moms are on line.  The same can be said of early evenings.  Saturday night is basically a bad time to sell to teens or young adults, as they are usually not home.  

The best way to find out what time is good for you, is to do some ebay research.  Look up similar auctions to your item which have already ended and see when the SOLD ones sold.  (Those that didn't sell can also teach you which ending times may be a bad idea.)  

HOpe this helps you.
