Need help regarding www.forumebay.com

Guys please help me . I want to sell this domain
( www.forumebay.com ) but have no ideas about price . Please help me to set a price on it. Also if anyone of you can sell it for me I'll agree to give him 40 %

Thanks for attention

how much do you want for it. I think i can get it sold

 

[rentdn]

I do not know what price to suggest , but i'll not agree to sell it lower then 100 $ , and if you can sell it for more you'll get more (40%) so you can determine the price yourself

 

[kaliboy2g]

So you want atleast $60 for it right? after commission and all

 

[rentdn]

Yeap at least 60$

If it were mine, I'd also accept that price immediately ... as there may be potential ™ issues here, IMHO.
All the best!

reg fee wholesale IMO possible TM issues

I 've read tm rules and I can register that domain name and it is legal , tm means Registered Trademark and in this case registered trademark is ''Ebay" not and ''forumebay'' so there can't be any tm issues.For example I can't register domain www.ebay.us or any other extension this will cause tm issues.

Good Luck

^^ Not exactly that cut and dried ... really depends on what you - or any potential buyer - plans on doing with it in the future, if developed / active site / even parked/affiliated IMHO.
The ™ possibility is there, and this will limit its potential reselling upside, in my view.
Best of Luck.

ebay has previously won against similar derivatives of its name:

ebaylive.com & ebaystores.com - http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2001/d2001-0259.html

"ebay4sex.com" and "ebaysexauction.com" - http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2000/d2000-1632.html

ebaykorea.com - http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2000/d2000-1633.html

gayebay.com - http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2001/d2001-0068.html

There are many more examples, but the bottom line is that ebay is a well-known brand and they have the means to enforce their TM. To keep this domain will require a lot of work on your part, and there are no guarantees.

Think again, eBay was after a few names I owned simply because they contained the word/term " Bay " they lost the battle as they have no claim to the word " Bay ", yours contains " eBay " so rest assured that they wont allow any development to take place, thus 0 value.

even if it will slip by the tm rules i feel people will still fear that it is a tm issue. reg fee

 

[rentdn]

Thanks for advises guys

It all depends in you inflict in their TM market, like if you reg ebay.us and have information about youre comapny that sell eggs or something Ill think you are ok.

But I you start a auction site there, they you are in trubble.

 

[rentdn]

I think you r right cmos , i've find out that there will be no problems if i use that domain for forum especially for ebay members because I'm not harming their business in any way of course if I open online auction site I'll be in problem as you have mentioned
