When is the best time and day to list your product on ebay, thanks. I did use search but could not find anything.

Popular concensus is that Sunday evening is the best time.
I like to end between 9-10PM EST (So you are ending between 6PM and 10PM across the US.) If you end during the day there are plenty of desk jockies to bid so that can work too. I almost always stick to evening myself. Worst move is to be up late and figure you may as well list some crap, so you end up having listings end at 4AM EST. Not good.
My favorite day to end is Monday, you are up over the weekend, but don't lose out on potential bidders who are wrapping up their weekend Sunday. Sundays are my 2nd choice or other days of the week, sans FRI and SAT. Frankly I'd say as long as you avoid Friday or Saturday evenings (or Sundays of a long weekend) it doesn't make too much of a difference. And I'm sure some sellers love Fridays or Sats too, it's really something you have to play around with a bit and see what you like.

I generally list in the evenings, but most of the auctions i do are BIN so it doesn't matter too too much.

So the best time to list is during the evenings, so the auction can end during the evening.
