How Long Should I Make My Auction?
Ebay's current available options are:
|
1 & 3 Day Auctions |
|
These durations should be reserved for certain circumstances |
where your timing is limited & you have no other options. |
They are not ideal for attracting the maximum number of bidders. |
Buy It Now should definitely be used in this case. |
|
5 Day Auction |
|
The 5 day auction is not a bad option when you have |
missed something or were not able to finish in time for a |
7 day listing. |
Not ideal for attracting maximum bidders, yet far better than 1 or 3 days. |
|
7 Day Auction |
|
This is absolutely the optimal choice for a listing period. |
It allows your potential bidders a full week to locate you |
& prepare for the final hour of bidding. |
|
10 Day Auction |
|
This duration can be a good option if you have an unique item |
& are looking to attract interest from a very limited audience. |
Some bidders prefer a shorter period, but it is not a major issue. |
|
The Real Key |
is choosing the right |
Day & Time |
