Anybody selling any domains on Ebay?

I've had some on there for months, marijuana related, drone related, brandable, etc. Now I am adding some of my prime .rocks domains. I have had watchers but no sales.

Anybody else had any luck on Ebay?

For those who actively sell on eBay, are you mainly posting Buy It Now listings or auctions?

Since 1998. I'm not a power seller or anything. Haven't sold for awhile actually. But my feedback is just shy of 500.

This why you get instant payment.

All the eBay newbies have to prove themselves these days. Due to product guarantee.

Buy it now/Make an offer.

oooohh, wow wasn't aware of that policy. Times have changed eBay in a big way and not in a good way IMO.

However, fraud and abuse have become rampant and I can't blame eBay for putting protections in place.

So true, just imagine you are starting a new retail business and strapped for cash - It's not easy there.

Thanks for the info. Is the $500 the total for each domain name or the aggregation of 10 listings? Just want to clarify.

-------------------
aggregation of 10 listings!! It really sucks but the rules were made for general merchandise, not domains.

You are allowed 10 listing or $500 total.

The $500 total means that if you list 1 domain for $500 then that's your limit used.

Like I said in my above post, been selling domains there since 2008 (some over $2k) and I've never had to wait for any cash. It's all been instant to my PayPal.

The reason people have to wait these days is because they are new and on some kind of probation period. eBay had to bring in a product guarantee system, if you don't get your product, then you get your money back. To save eBay from paying this, they hold the seller's money for 90 days.

I'm sure if you are selling there for a year, restrictions would be lifted. If you look at it from eBay's point of view, there are so many scammers/criminals these days that they would be losing a ton of cash without the restrictions.

It's amazing in life how much scammers/criminals cost every person. Just one example out of 100's, the lock on your front door is to stop theft and the lock costs money

It is 1 domain for $500. Like I said, I will take a screen shot of the whois or DNS change ( can someone please clarify). I have no doubt that we will get paid in a 1-2 weeks if not sooner. I have been account confirmed ( bank account)for over 10 years.

Earlier you said you've never sold on eBay. Didn't you also acknowledge you'll then have to wait the 90 days?

I have NEVER sold on ebay. The 90 days comes from their website. MY update today was from my conversation with them. I don't think anything is engraved in granite. I'll let you know after I get paid. My comment about having a confirmed account with eBay for 10 years was referring to BUYING, not selling.

Just throwing in my 2 cents by the eBay limitation can usually be increased after a few sales. I used to work fr a dropshipper and we ran into the same listing limitation (makes it very tough when you need to list a good amount of inventory). After a few good feedbacks, I was able to call them and increase th limit to $5000+. Just prove yourself and be patient

Can I have your dog? I understand the limitation on merchandise, not domains. IF the buyer gets the push correctly, I should get paid immediately. BUYER BEWARE!! The new gltds are going to be a pain on eBay.

I use ebay to sell when a buyer does not trust me. People do not know about escrow.com and sedo escrow, they are too lazy to do their due diligence and automatically assume silly things. But they know about ebay, they trust ebay and they trust my seller reputation. So I tell them I will put the domain up on ebay where they can buy it, and I send them the link. It works most of the time for me.
...
I only sell one domain at a time on ebay. There are no end users on Ebay for it to be worth my time listing domains there, only when the buyer asks for guarantees that I will deliver the domain, that this is not a scam etc do I offer ebay as a trusted place to "meet". I have never listed a domain on ebay in hopes of somebody stumbling upon it

That's a very good point. Your end users more than likely are already familiar with ebay checkout and have an account there.

Regarding closing the sale:

It's quite easy. You just change the status of the sale to "Shipped" from the list of sold items.

Screenshots seem like a good precaution regardless.
