Has Anybody bought domain names from Ebay?

I have seen that there are many domain names listed on the ebay. I don't know if anybody from the Warrior Family has every bought domains from ebay.

It is quite obvious that ebay is a lot cheaper than flippa as flippa has gone outrageously expensive just to list the domain. Ebay allows to list for free for up to 100 items and up to $5000 worth of items. So this might be the motivation for domainers to try to do some business on ebay.

What do you think? Will it be a good attempt to try to sell domains on ebay?

  • I don't buy domains on eBay. If the domain were worth something it wouldn't be on eBay. I don't think there are any bargains there.

    If you've got $21 million burning a hole in your pocket, there are many eBay domains available at that price. (And shipping is free!)

    I agree with Fluffy, I don't think either that there are any bargains on eBay. Also, if you want professional domains, seek them in professional places. You can't sell potatoes in a mall, and you can't (or can, but not profi) sell domains on eBay.

    I've bought one and sold a couple - when I can't be bothered to put them on digitalpoint or sell them at godaddy, I'll throw them on eBay - easy to do and simple processes involved.

    I have in the past bought a xxxx.com domain for $20, ended up reselling it for $900 in a month, easy money.. eBay domains have been pretty good to me, but I don't use them anymore..

      Thanks for your response Weedy92. Actually, I wanted to know where did you sell that domain to make a whooping profit of 880 bucks in one month. And I would also like to know what did you do with the domain? Did you build site and build the links or just sold the domain?

      Your information will be appreciated.

      Thanks

        Sell them on foums, just get active with it. Join every IM forum out there, make a sales thread and try to sell the domains. You might not get noticed right away, but there's big players out there waiting that will come across your offer.. Spend a week talking to people, ended up closing the deal in a month. I didn't build the site, just sold the domain by itself.. The site today is now a news site, it's alright.. Also the best time to sell and buy is when the market is right, have to really keep up on it..

    Hello,

    I think you can if you know what you are doing Meaning how to assess the domain name and if you think you can earn some money resselling them I personnaly don't do that, but think for more skilled people in domaine buying and selling it can be another alternative.
