yo what's up guys thank you so much for
joining me today my name is Cody and as
you can tell I'm pretty serious about
eBay resale I do it full time now but I
wanted to put this video out because I
feel like there's something extremely
important when selling on eBay and that
is when to list your auction items so if
you follow me on this channel at all you
know that I try to stay away from
auctions it's definitely a buyers market
with the auctions if you're buying on
eBay it's great to to bid on options
because you can get items for cheaper
but if you're selling you're gonna
maximize your profits by doing buy it
now now the truth is sometimes you'll
get an item and it won't sell for
whatever reason maybe you selected a bad
item maybe you selected a good item and
then a lot of other people around the
world selected that same good item and
then the market just got flooded and
there's so many sellers it not enough
buyer so you just can't sell it item but
there comes a point in time when you
need to get rid of an item and the best
way to do that is to list it as an
auction now there is a good time and a
bad time to listen auction and you
really want to just begin with the end
in mind you want to think as a seller
you want that auction to end with a bid
war you want like three or four buyers
to just be clicking each other up within
60 seconds of the ending of the auction
they don't have time to think and they
just keep bidding because they get their
competitive edge kicks in their
competitive nature kicks in and they
want to win that item right so you want
that item to end at the most convenient
time for somebody to be bidding on an
item for what every day for whatever
reason sunday is the biggest day for
people to buy stuff on eBay and that's
when you're gonna want your item to end
so if you're doing a seven-day auction
maybe start it on Sunday night and just
know it will end the next week on Sunday
night you can also do a three-day or
5-day auction but just try to make it
end on Sunday night I've found the most
success doing that
alright so my phone died but we're in a
new setting same message there's one
more thing I wanted to drive home before
I close it out and that is that you need
to start your listing as low as possible
and just understand that it's best for
you the seller if that item stays low
for
as long as possible so if I'm listing a
seven-day auction
I want that item to stay at $0.99 or
maybe get a couple of bids so that other
buyers know that it's a serious listing
and other buyers are interested maybe a
few bids but you really want that item
to stay low and this will attract more
traffic to your listing which will
attract more traffic to your other
listings and that will give you more
watchers now the more Watchers you have
the more potential people you have to
engage in a bid war on that final day so
in a perfect world if I listen item I'm
gonna list it for 99 cents on a Sunday
night it's gonna sit at 99 cents or
maybe a dollar two dollars throughout
the whole week I'm gonna get a bunch of
potential buyers because everyone's
gonna be getting excited oh look at this
hundred dollar item it's only 99 cents
and then on Saturday or Sunday night
there's going to be a bid war and people
are just gonna get competitive they're
gonna make stupid decisions and that
items gonna sell for a lot more than
it's worth
so that's it it's real simple if you
have to listen item as an auction list
it seven days Sunday night or five days
or three days just make sure it ends on
a Sunday night and don't freak out guys
if it's staying low early that just
means that there's a better chance for
you to have a serious bid war on the
final day of that listing so I hope this
