    Please close this thread and just leave it sticky. It's become a free-for-all for noobs trying to boost their post count and good posts are getting lost because of it IMO.

    This thread is good and should have tips on how to handle payment options.

    Pro's and con's for seller
    Pro's and con's for buyer

    chargeback on paypal seems an awful reality.

    You should start an auction with the minimum price you think you will get. You may get and offer above your expectations. :) It's not a mandatory to sell it. You can just see what to expect.

    Hi,

    I am trying to buy an established website which is shuuting down but the owner says he cannot transfer the website & its contects to me since there are many fulfillment companies linked to it.

    I need advice as to how this can be overcome without effecting the websites page ranks, links, pages indexed etc.


    I will appreciate a detailed reply from an experienced person since this is my first ever venture into website buying.

    Thanks

    It depends on what types of fullfillment companies are linked to it. Some may not be able to be transferred as he said, but others might be able to.

    Some connections that cannot be transferred make the site useless so you might want to explain in detail what the connections are.

    @G-hamsteR: You can "push" the domain to the buyer. Most of the registrars (GoDaddy, Namecheap etc.) have this function for free. About the content, you can download all of it via FTP or file manager, zip it and send it. The buyer should upload it to his hosting account and host the domain with it.

    This is the maximum amount of money the seller expects to get.
    Potential start to bid in the auction from the "starting bid". If someone really wants the thing that is for sale, he can offer the BIN to the seller, and get it immediately, without need to compete with the other bidders.

    Go to the BST Forums and list under the domains section at a price you are willign to set (fixed priced auction) or opend up bids at a certain price able let members bid for the opportunity to purchase your domain.

    Hey there, I appreciate the info you laid out. There are quit a few newbie domainers out here, like myself. I tend to eat as much info I can get my hands on and digest.

    very cool--

    Whats your opinion on this domain I'm trying to sell. I'm asking for 7K.
    "idigitalmarking.com"

    I know is an abstract question, just trying to get a handle on my sales strategy.

    Thanks--
