Hello Everyone!


Welcome to our eBay workshop on Finding the Best time of Day, Week, and Year to Sell. As usual, Terapeak Marketing Coordinators Dave P. and Dave F. are here to help you with all your market research questions. Please feel free to jump into the discussion any time you like, we are here because we want to answer your questions!


Today we are talking about using market research to find the best times close your auctions. This is an important topic because taking the time to think about a few simple things can drastically improve your sales. 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, and perhaps shatter some of the preconceived notions you have about eBay selling.


Here is what we will cover today:



  • Best Time of Day to List
  • Best Time of Week to List
  • Different Auction Lengths
  • Yearly Trends
  • Wrap-up
