discuss Why are new sellers not encouraged on NamePros?

[gsngsn123]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been exploring the marketplace here and wanted to share an honest concern as a new seller.

I completely understand the importance of feedback and trust in domain trading. However, it feels quite difficult for new members to get started because:

• Auctions and certain selling options are restricted without feedback
• Buyers often ignore listings from sellers with no history
• Even when pricing domains very low, there is little to no response

This creates a situation where:
New sellers can’t get feedback without sales
But can’t get sales without feedback

It becomes a cycle that’s hard to break.

I’m not questioning the rules — they are important for safety — but I’m wondering:

Could there be better ways to support new sellers?

For example:
• A beginner-friendly section for new sellers
• Verified “starter auctions” with limits
• More visibility for first-time sellers

I believe many new members have genuine domains and are willing to price them fairly, but they struggle to gain initial trust.

Would love to hear thoughts from experienced members:
How did you get your first sales here?
Any tips for new sellers to build credibility?

Thanks in advance for your insights

How did you get your first sales here?

List decent domains for no more than $20 each

Less than 1% of domains will ever find a buyer, whether you are a new seller or not is irrelevant. You are encountering the lack of liquidity in domain names, domain names are very illiquid. If you can sell 3% of your domain names each year, you're doing far above average.

Reviewing your previous posts, it is clear why you're getting no interest: domains you registered in the last week (like HUZU.XYZ) are not going to find a buyer.

Being new is not the issue. Domain quality is the issue.

I limit the new users if I sell something as well, for obvious reasons. But, if you sell or buy something cheap, for low xx, you will start getting trade reviews. Also, if you contact a seller or a buyer when it's a low price domain, most of the times they will agree to let you bid, don't bid without contact them. Also, if you participate in other discussions and they see that yoy are genuine it will be easier for them to accept you at beginning. After you have a few trade reviews, you can start buying/selling for a bigger amount. Thrust comes from interactions, not only trade reviews. By the way, it haopened even when dealing with members with tens or even hundreds of trade reviews to loose money, so thrust from interactions it's even more important than trade reviews.

Any tips for new sellers to build credibility?

Buy better names.

To do that you need to spend more time learning and less time trying to flip bad names to more experienced investors.

Most new people put very little work in to learning or contributing before trying to make money from the community and are then surprised when it doesn’t work.

We all were new at some time and made it through.

Quality is the issue
Offer better domains and people will buy them.

i agree, when namepros was founded everyone joining then were eager and able just like they are now, but you could buy 4L.coms for $10 and 3L.coms too i imagine. There was just a better pool in the past. As domaining has aged, the values have changed to a millionaires game and scragglers picking up the scraps. Its lost its "newness" and will never be the same as the beginning unfortunately.

100% of the experienced members here were once new members.

Stop trying to sell here on NamePros. As a newbie, you have nothing to offer to people here, since the buy/sell sections are viewed almost exclusively by other domainers. Spend your time mastering choosing better and better names, and build a stronger (and larger!) portfolio that will eventually start selling on its own.

The market is speaking. Members apparently disagree.

I have bought domains from new members, many times.

Pushing first or using some escrow service is common with newer members.

For $12, members would just buy the domain if they wanted them.

I can't imagine anyone is overly concerned about be scammed out of 12 bucks.

If the domains are any good and priced low- buyers may come.

You should not rely on other sellers to buy your domains here.

You are getting important feedback when nobody here buys---domain quality is too low.

$12 nice offer but all 3 names within 60 days may not be mistake but misleading "Aged .Com Domains....."

 

[biggie]

Hi

that’s something the OP didn’t consider as feedback

but on other side of that coin,
if you are getting inquiries and offers for some of your domains, then that’s a positive sign.

imo…

 

[gsngsn123]

$12 nice offer but all 3 names within 60 days may not be mistake but misleading "Aged .Com Domains....."

because the all 3 names expired domains thats why i mentioned aged domains any way thank u

The market is speaking. Members apparently disagree.

Indeed. There's a reason some of us liquidate names. In the OP's case these fall into the 'not good enough' category (at best). For example, what on earth does the sld 'Taxoon' (or is it 'Taxo on' / 'Tax oon' ?) mean?

BtcTradebot is a thing. However, the top terms to have would be (in no particular order):
BitBot.com, BitcoinBot.com, BitcoinRobot.com, BitTrade.com, BitTrading.com, BitcoinTrade.com, BitcoinTrading.com, Bit.bot, BTC.bot, BTC.trade, Bitcoin.bot or even BiTC.bot (@Quality Names has the .com here too).

Already, you can see there's too many competing alternatives (and that's before including the competing Crypto sld+trade/bot etc)

Same scenario with NFT - the best term in that space is NFT.bot / NFTRobot.com, NFTChat.com or (best of all) NFT.ai
