    ebay sellers - question

    Would you recommend doing a 1 day auction for a product? Or is sticking to 5 - 7 days better...

      Are you in a hurry to sell it? If not, I would go with a 7-day auction. But, if you are in need of the money, do a one day'er.

          Longer auction will get more views and theoretically more bids. What you are hoping for is a couple bids before the last day, that way on the last day, it will go a little higher than if you just did a one day auction.

          Also, if you use Buy It Now, you want as many days as possible for people to buy it that way.

              I'd go with 5 days..

              You're gonna get serious bidders within the remaining 2-3 days anyway.. Before that, it's just bidders who think they will actually get your Digital Camera for 2$

                  What he said If you only make a one day auction you take a chance of not getting many bids.

                      I think the best choice is to do a 5 or 7 day auction.....with a bargain buy it now price.


                      Usually someone will snatch it up right away if the BIN price is a good deal. But if no one does, then you can at least ride out the 5/7 days and hope for the best.


                      edit....damn people post quick.....

                          I do the best with 7 day auctions, I figure I'm usually dumping my junk so I can wait a week.

                              5 day auctions work well for me 1 day is too short and you will end up getting less for your goods
                              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
