This is the exact day and time you should end an eBay auction to make the most cash
Unsurprising, ending your sale on a Friday night probably won't bring you the big bucksh
IF you've ever tried to make a few quid from a clear out but failed to shift your stuff on eBay, this tip could be for you.
It turns out that all listing times are not created equal, so if you want to rake in the maximum amount you need to think carefully about when you set your auction to end.
Think about it - are you usually busy online shopping on a Friday night?
It's doubtful, as not that many of us remember to whip out phones and place a bid when we're in the pub.
So if you're all about making money, steer clear of setting your eBay sales for Friday or Saturday night.
It's much better to go for Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday nights instead - although even those aren't the best time.
To up your chances of making a killing, set your sale to end at 8pm on Sunday nights.
Anytime between 7pm and 9pm on Sundays is actually OK, but 8pm is the real sweet spot.
