Flippa Advice [WANTED]

Although I consider myself familiar with Flippa, I am certainly not an expert.

I tried to list my website more than once, but since it didn't reach my reserve price, I never sold a website over there.

Now, I have to sell one of my profitable websites and I need some help answering these following questions :

- Should I got with Premium listing or Featured (Featured for last 6 hours or so). I tried Featured before it wasn't anything outstanding ?

- Should I sell the website by myself or give it to one of flippa expert sellers and pay him fees (I have no feedback so far since none of my websites was sold over there before), I saw a flippa seller with 100% feedback and over $1 million in sales, so I guess they know what they are doing and their fees is 15% of the sale ?

Any other insights

  • Don't go with Premium unless you expect to get more than 15,000. And even then I can't say it's worth it.

    Start at $1 with a reserve. You want to get as many bids as possible to show that there's alot of interest and also move it up the Most Active Listings pages.

    Don't use the featured listing until the site drops off the New Listings Page

    Ensure you provide alot of info, especially revenue figures for as much time going back as possible.

    Answers questions promptly and politely. Be prepared to deal with assholes who aren't really interested in your site, but are there anyway.

    I also personally, don't reveal the reserve and I don't add a BIN until I have a gauge of interest in the auction.

    • Thanks retsek,

      Premium listing is pretty expensive but it seems to give higher exposure,if I am paying $250 to Flippa to make it premium, I will make the auction with no reserve price since I will not be okay if that site doesn't sell
  • first of all, your website should give something of importance to the buyers. They usually look out for profitable business/automated businesses wherein they dont have to spend too much time.
    you have to tell them why they should buy your website?? state the importance, show Google analytics report as well as adsense report.
    show them how you earned money last 2 months and how can they earn the same.
  • I agree with many people here, but i have a listing on flippa making $600/month on adsense verified revenue and completly on autopilot, at 100% really and there is only 9 people watching and 2 bids. What i am doing wrong??

    • I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Your website's language is other than english, which I suspect is the reason behind getting less bids.

      From my own experience with Flippa, most of my bids have come in the last day of my auction. Seeing that you are have more than seven days to go, I am pretty sure you will be able to sell it for a nice sum of money.
  • You need to observe and learn successful sellers at Flippa.

    I suggest you to create another account in Flippa as a buyer. You can ask many questions to few sellers. By this way, you can learn more from them. Maybe you need to use different IP address in internet connection for your own security. Before to login another account, clear browser cookies previously.

    • That is officially the stupidest advice of the day.

      You are openly suggesting the OP to breach the TOS of Flippa. That's 100% wrong. Not to mention, it can possibly get his current account suspended.

      To OP, Please ignore his advice. You don't really need to create a separate account just for asking questions. I know many successful people who use the the same account to buy and sell sites on Flippa.
