Best time to list and renew items?

[KCbytheNYC]

In your experience, what are the best times to renew and list your items to create optimal views? I have been experimenting with different days and times, and have not been able to pinpoint anything concrete. Input is appreciated!

Is everyone else getting charged re-listing fees automatically every time they sell an item? Even if you have ten pcs listed as available and you sell one, Etsy will now charge to add that one back in. When did this happen?

I think that most people get on their computer after work/dinner, so 8-9 EST or later, and then any time after that for people in central, west and farther. But then again it depends on your clientele, if they're going to come to your shop anyway, it probably doesn't matter when you list. I get alot of views in the daytime hours, and less at night, so if you find a similar trend, you could try listing when your views are highest.

I've been told there is no formula, so if you list at a certain time and get sales, try it again!

hi beazerk.
yes it is just like what you said, if you sell an item and have multiple ones of it you get charged after a sale. you also get charged the 20 c if you sell like 2of your 10 identical items at the same time. then they charge you 20 c for the second one just like it was a listing and they also charge you 20c for putting back up items 3-10.

I've heard lunchtime, because a lot of people eat at their desk and browse

Thanks, so it was suggested that I put all of my listings to quantities of 1 since I'm getting charged anyway.

To get back to the original topic, I like to post things around lunchtime, dinner time and around midnight for night owls. I see more views around those times.

It really seems like weekends in the afternoon and any evening around 7-8pm are good for me.
