How Long Do The Auctions Run?
Typically we run a ten day auction. This is the recommended duration by eBay, and we find it most effective. When priced reasonably, most sought after items will sell on the first attempt within 10 days. With eBay’s Buy it Now or Best Offer we can run an auction 3 times! (30 days) If unsuccessful after 30 days, we suggest an auction at a lower start price.
How Long Does The Process Take?
It varies, but most auctions will run for 10 days. We can also run auctions for 30 days if you aren’t in a rush to clear out space. Once the items are paid for, shipped & received by the buyer, we send your payment. Depending on how items are paid for and how quickly the payments are made after the auction closes will determine how quickly we can get you your money. It could be as long as 2-3 weeks after your auction closes before your receive payment.
