Afternic. Because Sedo closes accounts first and asks questions later.

Sedo, because unlike at Afternic, most of the domains sold belong to domain owners, rather than the company.

Plus the Sedo userbase is global, Afternic targets mostly the American End User, so even though you're more liable to get a big ticket sale at afternic, you're also more liable to get a sale at sedo.

I play it safe, I list at both

I agree with mwzd, SEDO. I have listed domains on both platforms, but don't have anything nice to say about afternic, firstly, as a domain seller, you are charged an annual membership of $19.99 (Sedo is free), secondly, if a buyer wishes to buy a domain from Afternic (and is not a member already), they are charged $1 to join (Sedo is free), thirdly, Sedo's parking program (Sedo Pro) is much more advanced than afternic's with a lot of traffic and other analytics and most importanly, Sedo is a global platform with domains listings for adult and gambling domains which Afternic is not, so why would I want to pay $19.99 a year for a service that sucks?.

Sedo free. AfterNic $19.99 a year.

I would go with both. More exposure for your domains will never hurt.


I sold more domains on Sedo but the couple offers I received on AfterNic was good too.

but when you sell at SEDO they take some of your earnings (administrative fees), how much does afternic take?
