but will/does it work?

I ran across an auction today that had in the TOS that the auction would "end during eBays scheduled down time, so bid early"..the only down side I see right now is having to list at 3 AM EST.
This strategy(if the bidders read the TOS)SEEMS like it might cut down on "snipers" and "watchers"...whaddya think?

I wouldn't like it for myself - but I always get a lot of last minute bidders. For those who don't care for snipers I think it's a great solution.

That is an interesting idea. An easy way to do the listing would be to use Auctionwatch's scheduling feature.

Can you actually input an auction during ebays downtime?

And why would anyone want to eliminate last minute bidders and re-bidders?

Capotasto,you can't list an auction during the downtimes, but if it is anything other than a 7 day auction, you can time it to end in that period.

Edited to add: I've never used AW sheduling feature so I don't know what would happen if you scheduled something to list at that time. Has anybody else tried it?
