A Guide to Selling Miniatures on Ebay

Consider the time of the year when selling items on ebay. Ebay gets considerably more traffic and spending towards Christmas time (from August onwards). In January, many people sell their unwanted Christmas presents causing a downward trend in prices. February is traditionally the worst month of the year to sell anything as that is when people's Christmas debts are generally due to be paid. When the weather is warmer (summer and late spring), people tend to not use the Internet as much, causing a reduction in ebay traffic as well.

The time of the month should also be considered. Putting up your items so that they cover the end of the month and the start of the next month will match when most people receive their pay from work, slightly increasing ebay's traffic, and therefore increasing the odds of a good sale for you.
