Greetings Everyone!

Welcome to our workshop, “Increase your eBay Sales – Know the Best Time to List.” The Terapeak marketing team, Sara Taheri, Dave Frey, and Morgan Brooks are here to answer any question you may have. We like our workshops to be very interactive so feel free to jump into the discussion at any time. If you are unsure how a workshop is done, feel free to ask for help.

Today we are talking about how you can use market research to find the best time to list your items to achieve maximum profits. This is an important topic because planning your auctions can have a large impact on your sales. For example, selling school supplies too early could result in few bids and low sold prices, selling too late could result in no sales. You want to pick the best time that gives you high traffic and high selling prices.

In this workshop we will use analysis from Terapeak’s online market research tool to illustrate some simple things you can do with your auctions to increase your success rate.

Here is what we will cover today;


   Best Time of Year to List

  Best Time of Day to List

   Best Time of Week to List

  Wrap Up
