I think Sunday at 5:00pm - 9:00pm because Fridays are paydays for almost everyone so people get money to spend on and Saturday they want to have a nice day out with their families and friends thats why its not good at Saturday. But Sunday is good because some stay at home and have free time and if they go out it will probably will be like at 10:00am to 5:00, thats why I think Sunday is better for an auction to end

"The only problem with the Sunday night assumption is that there are too many variables to consider with the time frame, depending on your market. The 7-10 target is great for US only auctions, but if you are open to shipping internationally, then 7-10 US time is early in the day in Europe and late morning in Asia, which definitely fall out of the target range.
Also, currency exchange rates favor the European market over the US market right now. Euros can buy a lot more than dollars, so having a few Eurpoean bidders can push up your profits significantly. As long as you have them pay for the shipping, then you won't run into any problems at all.
As someone who has sold a large number of items on eBay over the years, I can tell you that the studies are correct, in my experience. I've had auctions end at all times of day and haven't found any relationship between the time an item ends and its final selling price. If people want an item, they will bid on it, or mark it as "Watch This Item" and bid on later it if they are interested."

Weekend Sunday between 7.00 PM to 10 PM is considered as the best time to end your ebay auction, which gives more visitors for that time..
