    What's the best time for an eBay auction to end?

    Just like the title says. Since most people bid on an item during the last few minutes, I was wondering what the best time would be to set up an eBay auction to end.

    Please take into consideration time zones. I'm in Michigan so the west coast is 3 hours behind me.

    I generally set my auctions up to end on Sundays at 11:00pm EST Michigan time so they will end at 8:00pm on the west coast. I figure there should be a lot of people on their computers on Sunday nights.

    Basically I guess what I'd like to know is, what is the busiest time for the internet?

    Any ideas?

    For my actions I usually like to end them on weekends around 10-11pm Eastern Standard time, or weekdays around 8-9pm eastern time. I find people go to bed earlier on the weekdays. And it also depends on what your selling if your selling something that the elderly will be buying I would have my acution end sunday around noon.

      I have had my greatest success setting them up in a similar manner as you. It seems Sunday evening provides a lot of free time for people to bid without distractions.
