Domain Seller Information

Selling your domains can be very difficult indeed. There are a number of websites offering you to list your domains in their auction along with several thousand others. Perhaps one of the most visited auction website is Ebay and their Websites & Businesses for sale listings (links open in new window).

Domain Auctions are not always guaranteed to sell your domain, while you must be below-realistic to have any chances of selling, even if you pay for a featured listing. Some other sites offer to sell your domains for free or for a percentage after the sale. You need to be careful that you have read all agreements and ensured that you have understood what you get charged.

It is advisable to consider having your domain appraised from a domain name appraisal service before auctioning it. Most domain auction sites offer such services and since these people have managed to sell domains in the past and know how to set the right value for your domain.

Since generic domains, such as buy.com, are already established businesses and it is unlikely that you have such a domain, it is important that you don't go over the top with the asking price. Otherwise, you risk not finding a seller and you may find yourself in a situation where you have to keep renewing it.

For an auction reserve price of over $100,000, your domain name must be easy to remember, relevant to the industry for which it is addressed and also be short. It is rare for a domain which doesn't have one of those three characteristics to be sold for anything over $10,000.

Buyer Information

Buying domain names from an auction site or a domain brokerage firm is not as complex as it is for the sellers, unless the seller has additional terms and conditions. You need to make sure that you have read all the terms & conditions before even becoming a member, especially on what the website charges buyers, which may not be deducted from the sale.
