There´s absolutely nothing wrong with paying selling fees ... You go to SEDO, AFTERNIC, GoDaddy etc ... list your domain and if it sells via their platform you pay a 15% - 20% commission.
The problem with BB is they act like a DICTATOR:
*they charge you for submission
*they decide if your domain can be listed (or NOT)
*if they accept the name they decide the price
*they charge you upfront for listing
*and if your domain fails in the 1% - 2% of their inventory that sells, they charge you a whopping 30% commission plus you still have to pay the logo design
Not to mention that when they promote their inventory, they do exactly that: promote their very OWN inventory (BOXADOR profile) and the inventory of their "AMBASSADORS". POINT.
I do the work that BB does on my own (10 -15 minutes a day) and still spend my time on the beach.
Do you really believe that BB´s work is worth that much ??? Think again!
