What are the conditions a reseller here is looking for to snap up domains and sites that come on sale? Price-wise: how do I set a logical BIN and reserve price that make sense both for myself and for a reseller: based on which important info I need to add upfront in my description of my domain-site? Thanks for all feedback,
I own many personally own many websites, and I have spent some time in the past trying to sell them, but I have not had much success. Buying domain names and websites just to resell them, is a risky business, but it can be profitable if done properly. The more information you can offer to someone that is interested in buying the domain and/or website, the better chance you will have of selling it. Information you may want to consider offering includes: Your Asking Price, Websites Traffic Statistic's, Income Report, Expense Report, History, Terms of Sale, Method of Payments you Accept, The Domain Registrar I am sure other forum members will be able to add to this list...
SEO Man, Can you list the websites you sold for a price you are happy with? As soon as the auction is over and there is a highest bidder, how do the salestransactions normally proceed? Thanks, Stef
Hi! After auction ends, buyer should pay you and then you transfer domain and site contents (scripts, images, text and so on). NOTES: As always there is a risk using paypal for these sales because buyer can ask for a refund through paypal and they always win - leaving you without the money and without the domain. This kind of scam happen all the time... If you get an abnormal offer (like you are asking 100 and they offer 200 "because" they want it fast or something like that) don't trust it. When something is to good to be true... To be more secure use escrow services. Their fee is higher but it is better to have less profit than to lose it all. Have a nice day! Antonio
Thanks Antonio, What would you look for to find your paypal buyer trustworthy here on digitalpoint, assuming the offer seems ok? Have a nice day too, Stef
You never know for sure... Look at: number of posts, previous posts (looking for previous deals he made with other members), be carefull with new members or members with few posts - usually scammers open 1 or more accounts (or hack an old account) to build fake reputation and then they hit when they see a good opportunity. I've never been scammed and I sold some sites in the past. But it can happen to anyone. We need to be carefull.
2 questions: Suppose I get a bid like you mentioned that's to good to be true like $1000. The rest of the bids look logical $10, 11, 15, 18, 25. When the auction ends, can I without reason given just ignore the $1000 bid and sell to the 25$ bid, or are there digitalpoint rules/guidelines I need to obey in order to bypass the highest $1000 bid? Why would people reject bids, like at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1567521. They don't have to state a reason why rejecting the bid? Thx, Stef
You should give a reason for rejection, preferably in your sale copy. Please refer to digitalpoint guidelines and rules. If you have any question please ask to admins. I am just an user (like you). --- I don't know if that member is against the rules but it seems he has a good reason to reject them. His reserver price is $200 bucks so there is no reason to accept $20 bids.
Thx Antonio, user experience is most valuable on forums, that's why I prefer to ask users Digitalpoint guidelines and rules are stated where? Do you mean : General Tips on how to properly buy or sell a website : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=48847 or the few words in Forum rules : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/misc.php?do=showrules or where? Thanks again, Stef
