    Can i sell an Big Established website on eBay?

    I got a Site that is worth about $10,000. I want to know is it safe to sell on ebay?

    And also does eBay do Escrow for payment?

    Thanks.

    I'd recommend Sitepoint premium section over eBay.

    Also, between eBay fees and PayPal fees, you lose a good amount of money from the sale. Try selling it over at sitepoint like everyone said first, and if no luck post it on eBay.

    I sell heaps of stuff on ebay about $60 k aud a month so plenty of traffic.
    Im not sure how many buyers you would get as most of the sites for sale on eBay are advertisng business for sale but they are just a site.
    Ebay fees on $10,000 (eBay.com.au) would be $164.38 Final value fee if sold but you would pay alisting fee from $5.50 to $25+ if you promote the listing.
    Its not a lot of money considering the value of the sale
    I would like to know what this site is and what makes it worth $10,000
    Pm me some info

    sitepoint is better imho....
    u get completely targetted traffic and people there are willing to pay the worth of ur site....
    but the most important thing,for any transaction over $1k,use escrow :)

    I would vote for Sitepoint.

    P.S. Your site is not that big and great as it may seems to you.
