How do go about buying and selling names on NP?

commsskills · 08-07-2008, 04:23 AM

Hello,

I have read a number of threads on this but still have some questions. If anyone can help to answer, it will be appreciated.

(1) How do we know if the party can be trusted? Because it seems that for the seller, the paypal transaction can be cancelled after purchase by the buyer.

(2) NP does not appear to charge any fees. Is there anyway we can show our appreciation to NP as without NP the sale would not take place?

(3) Which is best? Fixed Price, Make Offer or Auction.

Thank you.

1. If the domain is under $100 I would use paypal. If it's over $100 a lot of domainers will use an escrow service.

2. You show your appreciation to others on here by leaving reputation & feedback. Some donate NP money to each other also.

3. I've only had luck with auctions on this forum.

Thanks....it helps

I was at a loss as to 'reputation' and 'feedback', then I saw that I can actually click on reputation and add some feedback to the person. At least now i know i can have some means of reciprocrating.

Yes this is true. Build your reputation first.

I would only use PayPal for an amount I was willing to lose, because there's always the chance of a chargeback. However, if someone has a lot of positive Trader Ratings, there's a good chance they won't scam you.

If the domain has a low value, I would put it in an auction, otherwise I would put it in Make Offer. The only time I use the Fixed Price forum is when I'm trying to sell something fast and I set the price as low as I can.

Welcome to NP

Answer

1. As a buyer, most times I go by their Trader Rating...& read the feedback left by other buyers & seller and I also ask questions...

2. Participate in the forums....create threads... answer posts and be helpful & encourage people...also give reps to those that have helped you.

3. Method of sale depends on the name/website...you could always create a thread in the appraisal section...to guage what the market value is and ask what would be the best method of sale.

Cheers
Corey
