What time should I put an auction for ebay up if I want to get the most people? -

I want to put an auction to end when the most people (globally) are on.So what time is the best so I can cover the most countries?

From Powerseller status experience, end the auction on a Sunday night between 7-9 pm

It s not as much when you put it up as when the auction will end. I assume you re thinking of running your auction for 7 days. I have placed items up for 7 days that got not bids until the last couple of days. And I ve put up 3 day auctions that did better than 7 day ones.Lot s of people think late Sunday is the best day to end an auction in the U.S. I ve been running eBay auctions for years and I actually have more luck with Monday evenings. Apparently many people don t discover an auction until Sunday, then watch it until Monday evening.If you re aiming for a bidders in a particular country, check it s time zone. Obviously, there would not be an ideal end time for the entire world.

Surprised by the answers so far...I say 9PM Central, Tues/Wed/Thurs. Not too late for central or east coasters, after business hours on the west coast.As for days of the week... Mondays are bad for everyone, and Fridays and Saturdays are usually busy or relaxed, neither good for auctions. Maybe Sunday night, never tried.

I would think around 9AM EST.

On a balance sheet would you put the cost of your inventory as what you paid for it or what you can sell it...? -

for or the profit you make on it Thanks :) - new to this.

Closing stock should, in the broadest terms, be valued at whichever is LOWER of cost paid or achievable value.Obviously, as the above poster pointed out, you would actually generally use an accounting policy for valuing your stock, usually AVCO or FIFO (never LIFO, it s now illegal in most countries and against international accounting practises).

The balance sheet has to reflect a true and fair view so the value of your stock would be whatever it is worth as it stands in the open market. That is not necessarily what you paid for it as its value might have gone down and it is likely to be less than the expected retail value (which includes profit margin).There are conventions for keeping a running estimate of stock value (FIFO, LIFO and AvCo ... maybe others since I studied bookkeeping many years ago) though these are no substitute for a proper periodic valuation.If your only choice is between cost price, selling price and profit element, I suggest you use cost price.

Cost priceCost price is a known fact. What you sell it for is an unknown amount (or might end up at a loss).

If I paid for shipping online why would I have to pay for it at the post office? -

and if thats the case do I need to pay for it online? The lady I go to keeps charging me to ship items that I sell after I ve paid for it already.

It sounds like, however you re calculating your shipping costs online, you re not doing it properly. You re obviously not paying enough to generate the preprinted label, if you have to pay more at the post office.Without knowing exactly what you re doing, we can t tell you what you re doing wrong. Are you weighing the items you re mailing? Are you weighing them correctly, after they re all wrapped and packaged for mailing?

Then you are screwing something up.If you can t figure out what you are doing wrong, don t pay online.

How do you sell something like a very good soup to a local store? -

Well, You can t be making your very good soup in your home kitchen or any ktichen that isn t certifed and approved by your local Department of Health. You are not allowed to sell food you prepare at home, except under limited circumstances, and no big food chain is going to buy your soup if you can t provide proof of certification. If you make the soup in a certified commercial kitchen you can try marketing it in the fashion mentioned by the previous answerer.

I work for the Kroger Chain of stores. The chain includes such grocery stores as Dillons, Kroger, Pay Less, King Soopers, Smiths, JayC, Fred Meyer, Baker s, City Market, Food 4 Less, Gorbes, Fry s, Hilander, Scotts, QFC, and Owen s. If you want to sell a really good soup to a local store all you would have to do is call up the corporate headquarters; ours is in indiana, And talk to a merchandising head. A few tips before you call. 1) they are going to want to know what your selling2) Why you want to sell it at their stores3) how you plan to mass produce it4) your sales plan5) and your distribution plansif you can answer these and maybe a few more they might have, your product could go up for a board discussion and if approved you might possible be eligible for a partnership with our chain.
