Where is the best place to get legit bids / buyers for your domain(s) besides an Ebay type of setting?

http://www.afternic.com/ seems to be quiet good for that.
Another is www.sedo.com but recently it has been found that sedo has tried to sell a domain and the domain owner wasn't even aware of that.

Thanks for your help. I have been noticing that many of these charge you to list your domains and I see Sedo offers the service free, however, now you are scaring me, how can they try to sell a domain not registered to them?

It has happened just 4-5 days back. That sedo can only answer how they tried to sell that domain.

They don't check if the domain belongs to you before starting list it.

Ah, I see... but if you have your domain locked then what can they do really other than contact the domain owner?

I would agree www.Sedo.com is a great place to sell names i have sold over 10 in the past 6 months all for high prices.

I was just wondering, does this site allow you to post domains / sites you want to sell?

Yes, since opening this thread I have posted my domains with sedo and also found some other Forums that allow domain ads, so now it is a question of who will come through.

I recently sold a name, did not use a broker but used escrow.com for the escrow. I would recommend them to others. Simple to do, paid promptly

Sedo.com has been good for me. It's free till you make the sales :)

escrow.com does not handle domain trasactions in itself though right?

sedo uses an escrow, so there's really no way to scam, unless you can scam the payment somehow??

either way I think they can take the documents and get the domain back pretty easily after proving a scam

I have to mirror everyone here, clearly afternic and sedo are THE places to sell domains.

There are dozens others that you can try, but I know a lot of big boys go directly to those locations to shop.

sedo accepts payment via verified paypal and bank wires i think its hard to make a chargeback


on the other hand here is a nice post (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=2011711#post2011711) about selling domains :D
