I am sure this has been discussed a million times before, but I am wondering about timing my eBay listings so they end at a "good" time. I have always listed my auctions to end on Sunday evening between 6-9 Pacific time because I was told that was when more people were on eBay than any other time during the week. I am not sure that translates into more bids and higher bids. I know when I was just a buyer, I used to get frustrated Sunday evenings because eBay moved sooooooo slowly. Not to mention that the categories are clogged with competing items from sellers who probably think the way I do (did).
I think I want to stick with evening end times, but wonder about other days. Does it make any real difference? I sell mainly glassware and kitchen junque.
Thanks for any input.

I don't care what day the end but I always make them end around 9pm Central time. NEVER NEVER during the day as so many people are at work and with all the businesses busting people for being on ebay I don't want to miss out on their business.
