When is the best time to list on eBay US?

eBay international sales are mainly dominated by Chinese sellers, and consumers are also happy to buy products from Chinese sellers. Since eBay does not have the concept of Prime membership or free two-day delivery, many buyers are used to waiting for a while until the product is delivered, which makes it easier for Chinese sellers to compete with other sellers. It is worth mentioning that the delivery time of Chinese packages has been shortening, which puts all American sellers under great pressure.

In fact, the best time to list products on eBay is similar to that on Taobao, and it is best to list them during the time period with the highest store traffic, such as 00:00-11:00, 11:00-17:00, 17:00-20:00, and 20:00-00:00. These time periods are generally divided into these periods.

As for eBay US, because the United States is divided into the East Coast and the West Coast, and there is a 3-hour time difference between the two sides, it is recommended that sellers list products based on the time difference. This will ensure that when the product is about to be taken off the shelves, it can obtain more traffic on the entire US site.

After finding the best time to post products for your store, it is recommended to post a product every half an hour during this time period. This can avoid competition among your store's products. Posting products separately can also ensure that during the golden time period, each product that is about to be removed from the shelves has a high search ranking, thereby increasing store traffic.
