Three day auction question

If I want to have an 3 day auction to end on a Sunday do I post the item on Thursday or Friday? I think the answer is Friday.

Re: Three day auction question

A three day auction would have to be posted on Friday to end on Sunday but you should consider the different time zones. For example, an auction ending on Sunday say at 8 pm Pacific time would be 11 pm eastern time. Or one ending at 8 pm eastern time would be 11 pm Pacific time.

You would start the listing on Thursday. Sunday is 3 days after Thursday.

You would start it on Thursday. Running time would be through Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The exact end time would be 72 hours from when you started it.
