I’m wanting your opinion on whether I should end this auction. Since I have a strong feedback at eBay, should I maybe auction it there instead of Godaddy or just keep it?
I’ve had pretty good luck selling domains to end users over the years but not had any experience auctioning domains. I can’t remember ever bidding on a domain at auction either but I listed a domain at Godaddy Auction on the night of July 28th for a 7 day auction with the minimum bid it allowed which was $20.00. At some point while I was setting up the auction it said at checkout I would be given some important options to choose from on promoting the auction but I was never shown these options and was never taken to a checkout page. I simply set it up by choosing the domain from my portfolio, chose the category, set the minimum bid, type of auction and hit submit.
The domain: 17 year old, 7 letter, brandable product one word category killer type .org with no trademark issues.
My concern: It’s almost a full 3 days into the auction and doesn’t appear to have any bids or views. I dunno if this is normal or maybe bids will eventually begin but I’m wondering if this is a sign that maybe I should end the auction and just keep it until maybe one day/year an end user contacts me wanting it.
Although I haven’t auctioned domains, I have auctioned many other items on eBay in 7 day auctions and typically the bids and offers begin within minutes after starting the auction.
