Question from a rookie

[ellkimmel]

I'm new to the domain game so the amount of questions I have are pretty much endless. The question is about paying to put listings on sedo, moniker, and others alike.
I have only been selling names on ebay so far and I notice that most names go for a great deal more on sedo, I think I could sell a lot easier if I used a site like sedo etc. Would I benefit more by focusing my attention to selling on a website focused on domain auctions.

Thanks for any feedback

I would recommend these sites:

Sedo.com
Tdnam.com

And yes they do take a % of your sell-price.

These sites have imo most exposure to buyers.

Best regards,

It depends on the quality of the name but yes sedo.com is a standard and tdnam.com worked for me few times too

Yes. Unless you are willing to play the .99 starting price no reserve cross your fingers and hope game that a few people do on eBay, stick to finding good names and putting them on Sedo/Afternic etc. If they are good, you'll get an offer.

Ebay is not recommended from me for real domain auctions
Tons of crap names hide even the decent/fair domains that are not in feature/highlight spots

sedo.com is free to join
tdnam you have to pay to list

Sedo maximizes your profit in the domain resell market so their fees are worth it.

Ebay is a great place to find the occassional gem for less, but a horrible place to sell domain names.

I would stick by all of your guys advice but I have a friend that has sold multiple names for over $100. Im not saying this is a lot, but for someone starting out like he is, that is a lot. I guess what I want to know now is, do you think it is easier for your domains to be noticed on sedo or others alike as opposed to an ebay listing???
