Tim is currently auctioning off 150 four letter .com domains on eBay at no-reserve. I asked him why he decided to auction off these names right now and Tim explained to me that it’s tax season in the Netherlands and he’s raising funds to pay taxes. Because LLLL are very liquid they are a great way to raise funds quickly.
He added: four-letters domains have been going up and down quite a bit during the past months. I think that we’re on the low end of the curve right now so I’m not too happy about having to sell these right now. I bought most of them years ago for pennies on the dollar so it should still be a good profit. I tried to list a mix of different types of domains, so there are some Chips, western premiums, a few CVCV’s and others.
Back in October last year Tim sold 118 four-letter .coms at Chinese marketplace 4.cn. So why go with eBay this time around? The batch sold at 4.cn was mainly attractive to the Chinese market Tim explained. The domains I’m auctioning now have more of a global audience so a global marketplace would be more appropriate. eBay is not as widely used for domain auctions as for example Namejet or Sedo, but it has many perks. The commission is fairly low compared to most other venues, the listings are very flexible and for new buyers it’s really easy to create an account and start bidding. eBay also offers some protection for both the buyer and seller which eliminates the need for an Escrow service on the smaller transactions.

Well, would you auction off your domains at eBay? I don't think ebay receives that many buyer's attention as a domaining platform. So, I never bother to use it.
How about you?
