Is now a good time to list on ebay?

[Billyhoyle]

Just about to list some things and then caught myself in two minds -

1. List now - everyone is on holidays so might be accessing ebay more + everyone has their Christmas spending money

or

2. Everyone is away on holidays, not at work, and not caring about ebay so leave it a fortnight or so till people are not on holidays

Thoughts???

IMO prior to xmas would have been better. Everyone will probably be listing unwanted gifts and trying to recoup some $ from overspending.

I think leave it a little while, it seems to me that people don't have as much money to spend right now. Iv seen a few cards go quite a bit cheaper then they had a month or so ago.

I am not sure if everyone gets offered the same "Free Listings" at the same time but if that is the case then it might be an okay time to sell.

I hate to say it but with the high number of collectors that scrounge and low ball for ever dollar, they more than likely only list when it is free to do so. Could be more opportunity to get some decent views while they wait for the next "Free offer"

I think it's a 100 free every month now anyway or something isn't it?

I need to list some stuff too.

I'm gonna wait until the middle of this month.

But there is plenty of people that are in the mood for spending
