Everyone has heard of eBay, but is it really a good place to sell domains?

eBay is one of the more popular options out there to sell domain names. Traditionally, people used eBay more as a garage sale site rather than a broker to sell domains. While eBay does take a fee when you sell domains, they also expand your market to millions of other webmasters looking for a domain. Although free listings do exist, they won’t get your domain sale much exposure. eBay offers additional listing options which you have to pay for. These additional options can double or even triple to amount of exposure you get when you sell domains through an eBay listing.

One of the key selling points on eBay is how the auction is marketed. Before you decide on your starting price, have the domain name appraised. Whenever you sell domains, you should get them appraised from an unbiased third party that knows how to sell domains.

eBay domain sellers tend to set up a landing page on their domain. This definitely increases the perceived value of a domain, especially if you are selling domains in the thousand dollar range. Aim for something that looks nice to the user. They will most likely check out the site before placing a bid, and if they get a page that really says ‘wow’, they are more likely to bid extra. When you sell domains through eBay, you need to dress your domain: get a tailored look for both the domain’s landing page and the auction.

Here’s a final tip: when you sell domains, consider a private auction format. Some people don't like their identities to be revealed. Furthermore, if you know you are holding onto a piece of gold, start the auction at $1. You should know that when people sell domains on eBay, attention is everything. The more bids it draws, the more attention it will receive from other buyers. Auctions with dozens of bids are usually the first to be looked at. Grab the eBayer’s attention as fast as possible. Make sure to include the domain name in the auction title. If it's a good domain, this will also grab the user’s attention. If you can hook the user early, you will in turn get more bids on your auction. Sell domains correctly, and you are sure to profit.
