1am is 9am in the UK and so then those customers would yell at me. They already do as it is. And it would be 5pm in Australia.quote:either midnight or 1:00am
We do it at this time because for 10 years this was the time eBay did theirs. For a good 7-8 years eBay was totally offline for 3-4 hours each week. You couldn't view items, search, list or anything else. It's the slowest night of the week. Friday night is slower but nobody is at work on Saturday. This is pretty much the best day at the best time.
We are working at doing some things to minimize the time it takes. They require database updates and code changes and we've been working on those and they should be introduced in the next few months.
