Selling Domain Names On eBay and Avoiding RIDICULOUS eBay Fees.

A little off topic for a sec. If you have been a big fan of my blog (or even if not) and you have the web designing skills to give my blog www.domainer.me a COMPLETE makeover or if there is some way you can move my blog to Wordpress please email me to contact@domainer.me for details. I am also lQQKing for someone that knows how to create domain scripts. I have a specific project in mind. Thank you and I will REALLY appreciate it!! :-)

I also have not been very steady in updating my blog. I plan to update my blog more frequently in the future once my blog has gone through a COMPLETE makeover.

Ok onto my topic.

I was over at www.dropdude.com reading Jason's blog. In case Jason and his site sound unfamiliar, Jason is one of those REALLY nice people in the domain business that keeps a domain blog and usually mentions on there about the different domain names he was able to successfully grab. Jason was mentioning how he has different domain names for sale on eBay. I took a lQQk and sure enought he had many domain names with starting bids of 99cents running on eBay. (go take a lQQk on his blog) I noticed that for the title on eBay all he pretty much wrote was the name of his domain name. Now you are probably wondering why I am mentioning this and here's why.

A word of advice to (and it might be helpful to others selling products other than just domain names) anyone selling domain names. Change your title in your eBay listing. No one is ever going to think to type in that exact domain name into ebay to find your listing. My title in my eBay listing usually something like this. "Domain Name whateverdomainnameis.com For 4 Sale." If someone types in the word “domain names” you will show up. The more keywords you use in your title the better the odds that someone will find you on eBay. I always add in the title the word “four” and the number “4″ so whether someone types in “domain names for sale” or “domain names 4 sale” I will show up when people are searching for domain names.

Now as you know the eBay fees are OUTRAGEOUS so here is what you can do if you want to try your luck selling on eBay. eBay has something called a Classified Listing. Classifieds Listings only cost $10.00 a month. Classified Listings can only be used for certain categories but in my honest and humble opinion I highly doubt most people (not all but most) ever even uses those categories to search for items. Put up a Classified Listing to sell all your domain names for sale. Cost is only $10.00 a month and that’s all. The person is responding to you through eBay but eBay has nothing else to do with your listing. The sale is done automatically through you and eBay gets no cuts of the profit you make. List all your domain names in the listing and if people are interested they will email you or they can call you should you choose to have a telephone number listed.

These are my own personal eBay strategies. If anyone knows of any other eBay strategies please be kind enough to share it with all us desperate domaines lQQking to make a buck or 2. (lol i'm kidding with the word desperate)
