    Just would like to hear from all if you have any experience to share when putting up a listing or auction in DP Marketplace :)

    I usually have better response when my auction starts on weekday and ends a week after. I have some listing that starts in the weekends and receive no sales..

    Any thoughts / experiences are welcome :)

    Weekdays might have less listings placed so it stays closer to top longer. Just my opinion.

    Yeah, I think weekdays are probably better.

    It seems DP members log in during the workday, whereas eBay members do evenings/weekends.

    Lol... I just now notice that the posters "nicknames per post count" is from Warcraft 3:

    Spirit walker, Wind Rider, Taurens.. lol.. Anyways back on subject.

    I was just about to post this too because I was curious about listing them at nights, but I guess it wouldn't really matter too much.. because if it's a good product/service it will get posts.

    Weekends always flop for me. I've had the best luck Mondays - Wednesdays, not letting auctions run for more than 2 days, and starting them at either lunch time or around 7pm (eastern time)... seems to be when people interested login.... that's in reference to auctioning off sites / domains.

    I agree that good offers will attract responses but forum like text link sales are so active that any offers without response will be pushed to the 2nd page in no time.. However, it seems that there are more viewers in the weekdays than in weekends. And I agree with the increased numbers in lunch time :)

    Thanks for all the sharing, keep them coming :)

    I think weekends are the best time.Because there are many members who just get inside DP only on weekends !

    time is always a problem for me. (I'm at GMT+8) so i always post during the day and check it after woke up.
    abou the day, I will put it any day i like. :D Keep it go and just bump it after few days if got no answer. (normally i will bump only once or none coz normally my service or links will be sold in first few days. dont bump too often in DP or you will be banned XD)
