You do not simply click the button and BOOM!,

You do not simply click the button and BOOM! it's up that is farthest from
the truth.
You have to wait unless of course you would like to PAY ebay another fee to
get your auction up at a specific time! Why do that? Just wait and keep your

make up the difference.
So we post our auctions at 5:00 on Thursday and we run a 3 day auction! YES
a 3 day auction.

button to purchase what they want NOW. They do not want to wait!
So what we do is run the 3 day auction simply because we will have the
advantage over the other sellers who are selling the same item that we have
and ours ends sooner and this will end on a Sunday Night which is ebay's
biggest nights for bidders!
If a bidder finds our auction ending in 1 day and the other seller's auction
ending in 7 days who is he going to bid from? If he wants it bad enough and
fast we win!

bids!

your product so Friday is the best with this route.
The buy it now advantage is that people do not have to wait for your auction
to end so it doesn't matter how long your auction is running they can
purchase your item now and don't care if it ends in 10 days.
You set the price for your item. You set the Buy It Now Price and they
purchase it. The 10 Day Auction advantage here is that your items can be
