    eBay Shopping Habits

    I was helping my frd listing items on his ebay shop while he was away...since I'm fairly new to ebay...I may need your advice... I know there are some ebay sellers and many ebay buyers out there... here are some concerns

     what time do most buyers visit ebay?  workdays ? weekends ? evenings?

    what is the best time to end auction? evenings?

    will ya purchase defective items? or at least some 'power up' pre-owned units ?

    will ya bid right before an auction ends?

    unofficial survey...just need your advice...

    thanks in advance

    Usually I get the best result if I end it at about 10PM EST.  especially on sundays.

    Most bids are at the end, best results are from low starting auctions

    mei only advice is to make sure you start the initial bidding high enough to cover the charge Ebay gives for posting the item.  But low enough it sells so you are not charged to post the item even when it does not sell.

    I always lose them, so I quit Ebay. Unless i'm going to pay full price and "buy it now"
