Hi

Can you please recommend the best domain broker you have used to sell your domains? I would appreciate it if you could rate them in term of effectiveness in selling and charges.

Many thanks

Thanks for your reply stingerweb urlcollection looks very straight forward but I can't find any answers in relation to charges of buydomains.com, have you used them before? How much brokerage fee do they charge?

Many thanks

I would try eBay first then go with sedo if ebay didnt do it.

At $100 minimum charge Sedo is costly. Specially if you are selling a $200 domain name. That means a commisiion of 50%. Any Ideas what Buydomains.com charges?

Neither do sedo (listing is FREE) but you get hammered when the domain is sold. I want to know the commission they charge

From BuyDomains.com
BuyDomains.com will automatically email the seller that there is an interested buyer. The seller and the buyer can then negotiate and sell the domain. BuyDomains.com charges no fees whatsoever for this service.BuyDomains just puts buyer and seller together... they negotiate out the details and transfer themselves. Thnk about it. BuyDomains wants to be the place to buy domains. If someone comes to your site for sale, they will now see the BuyDomains logo and this will give BuyDomains a last chance to sell them another or a different domain owned perhaps by them. I don't understand why you don't put up your own for sale sign and then post the domain for sale on ebay and in the various domain forums (and wht, of course ;) ).

Also, if no one has mentioned it, is RegisterFly.com, they charge 25% I believe.

Thanks for that, I will consider posting the domains here again. Didn't get much interest last time around :(
