    Default Do ebid list items to their site immediately?

    Do ebid list items to their site immediately or in groups of listings?
    Looking at the timings of when some of my items are finishing / about to be relisted via auto relist, I notice some have 2 to 3 hrs to go, time now 10.30. I never list items to finsh at 12.30 to 1 O,clock in the morning.
    Another thing I have also noticed is a group have e.g 4 mins 5 mins etc before finishing.
    I always space my items out with 2 to 3 minutes between each listing.

    No, I dont know. I think most of the listing I have put on here would have been during the day and early evening but the auto relists come along at any time. There have been a couple in the last hour or two and I dont think I had listed them, initially, as late as this so I would guess there is a delay in the relists that makes them a bit later each time.

    I do mine at random finishing times, because an unlikely time in the UK, may be the perfect time somewhere else.
    I also don't do exactly 7 days (usually 6, 6 1/2, 7 1/2 or 8 and a bit) so that if the get reposted, they dont keep finishing at the same time.

    Well. it makes sense to me.

    I also space my items out so they running at different times throughout the evening, but it seems when they are auto relisted they get relisted in batches so they finish in groups.
    Also leaving blank spaces throughout the evening.

    I'm afraid I am not that organized. so when I do any listing it tends to be in a session over an hour or so whenever I can fit it in. The automatic relists do seem to be wandering a bit from the time I think my session would have been


    I might add that as sales are not that abundant here I haven't worried too much about the timing as I would have done on that other site. I think I put something on at 7 oclock in the morning once, something I would never have done over the way

    The issue of when a item finishes would be relevant on Ebay where buyers will compete with each other during their online times.
    On Ebid, it doesn't matter when items finish, in my experience, and I have stopped timing my listing to finish at particular times.

    Don't you think its better to have listings finishing at all times of the evening.
    If you have nothing showing for an hour in the evening, say 7 to 8 O,clock its possible you could be losing out on sales if a newbie comes along?. I do not see the point of having no listings between 7 & 8 then have 20 finishing at 1min past 9),clock

    I don't have to bother about that because at any one time I have many listings running.
    Ebid scores over Ebay by being able to have thousands of listings, as opposed to Ebay's 200 free listings.

    If anything, when I have buyers making multiple purchases, it is easier for me to have everything closing at the same time of day.
