Best/Worst Ending Day-of-Week
Exploratory — BaT controls scheduling, so this is confounded.
Methodology & Assumptions
Source & window: 9,342 BaT auction listings analyzed, closing 2026-04-13 → 2026-06-14 (9 complete weeks). The two incomplete weeks at the start and end of the scrape were dropped from the entire analysis; 39 withdrawn listings excluded.
"Sold" definition: no_reserve=1 OR reserve_met=1 OR sold_after=1 → 7,632 sold (81.7%). Sale value = sold_price (falls back to high_bid).
Buyer fee: BaT charges 5% on standard auctions (min $250, cap $7,500) and 10% on some categories (min $250, cap $4,000). The scrape has no fee-category flag, so headline buyer-fee revenue ($15.1M) uses the 5% standard structure; the 10%-category basis ($18.8M) is shown as an illustrative upper bound (if every sale were the 10% category).
Seller fee (assumption): charged on every live listing, tiered by high_bid — <$50k → $99 (Classic), $50k–$350k → $429 (Plus), ≥$350k → $2,500 (White Glove). The $300–350k band is folded into Plus per your spec; a proxy that would be exact with BaT's internal tier-selection data.
Caveats: means are skewed by high-value outliers, so medians/GMV-share are emphasized. Minor source typos (e.g., "Delaer") were normalized. Day-of-week is exploratory (BaT controls scheduling).
