What is the best weekday to list things?

I already sell a lot on a Sunday, however, I really want to get rid of the clothes quickly and was thinking of listing 20 more items on a weekday. Which weekday is the best to list clothes? Some people have told me Wednesday, others Monday. Just wanted your opinions before I start listing my items 😊

I don’t think the day matters if you want to list midweek. But apparently the best time for the auction to end is around 9pm.

Thanks for that advice. I normally put items on around 7, so I'll try changing the ending time!

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Smile

I used to time things to end on Sundays, then I found that meltdown was on a Sunday and many things ended with one low bid. I list them now when it is convenient to do it and for shorter times on BIN, they end randomly. It makes no difference to my sales. I used to time them to end around 10 pm. Sometimes Monday would be good, never had any luck with Sundays, I think it is a myth that has hung around since the time Ebay was actually an auction site.

The reason for this is that Ebay decides which items will be shown in search, some are hidden completely, some are regional, some are defined by how many views without a sale, some by whether you have active content or external links in the listings. It is hit and miss. And just to add to the mix there is now a grouping of similar items so that prices can be compared, not sure if it applies to just .com or is universal.

I have researched everything online about selling and do all the right things, it makes no difference at all. I get a flurry of sales, then none, then one or 2, then it starts again. Sell cheap and you get sales.

I usually put things to end aroud 7pm on a Sunday too. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to list them to end later.
