Flippa sucks ???

Your copywriting is very important too, if your sale copy is not good enough then people will not bid on it.

Yes, bidders will wait, but if they are interested they will be watching your listing. You can see how many bidders are watching your auction now from Flippa's dashboard.

Also, your subject line will affect how many people click to see your listing.

I listed a website and got 2 bids, and around 70 views or so.

It's not as easy as people make it out to be on flippa. I try to get steals on there myself so I can relate to the bidders

If you want more exposure, why don't you try their upgrade? I remember they offer something like announcing your site to their Twitter followers, highlight your listing... etc.

This defiantly will get you more bidders.

If you want more bids, you can always use adwords to drive additional traffic to your listing.

Personally i don't recommend using adwords in your case.
Flippa has a list of potential buyers. Try them first.

Flippa works well but it depends on whether the site you have is desirable.

I have found that no reserve auctions work very well - but of course that is a gamble as well.

If you site is making money, without very much work or has high rankings in the search engines and in a popular niche you will get a lot of views.

Also bear in mind that if you list it for 30 days you will get way more views as the auction comes near the end as you will move up the page.

As other's have said - your sales copy for the listing is very important as well. If it is a high end site you might be better off with a broker.

I have noticed Flippa listings get very low visibility too. That is probably why they suggest having it run 30 days or longer.

Are there any other good alternatives?

Your site may not be that appealing to buyers, does it has a good rank in google and Alexa? Maybe you have not worded your description to sell.

All these things are factors when selling a site. People could potentially be shelling out a lot of money, they want to know everything about the site before they buy.

Have you filled out all of the information Flippa says you should, stats etc?

You don't have to sell your sites on flippa, you can also try internet forums.

Flippa use to be awesome...all the recent price increases are not awesome though.

I think they need a competitor.

I use to sell my sites on Flippa but as time went on I started seeing more and more junk sites for way cheaper than mine. Sales copy does matter and adding some really good bonuses always helps.

Hi Fadiz.

Andrew here from Flippa.

As others have already mentioned, this is not about Flippa as much as it is that your auction title sucks!

Your auction title is what follows your listing around the marketplace and is displayed in search results. You have done a great job in your listing of describing your site and verifying your traffic stats but there is nothing to give buyers a reason to click to read it.

I've taken the liberty of changing it to "Popular Text-to-Image Social App - over 3,000 pageviews/month". By all means contact our support team if you want it changed back.

While things like it being a recent site, no real SEO and a bespoke technology may limit buyer interest - as Thomas has mentioned - you can be confident that the title now works a lot harder for you.

Also be sure to read some of our support materials to avoid these sorts of basic mistakes. Check out https://flippa.com/guides

Happy selling!

I also suggest, if not done already, to study the most recent sold sites on flippa that are close to what you want to sell for. See what their sales copy looks like, what type of features/benefits the site is offering and etc. People are enticed by a good title, they like revenue, traffic, not a lot of hassle, bonuses, etc. No reserve (and stating that in your title) may get a few more views, but as stated that can be a little risky and all depends on how much risk you want to take. Good luck!!!

I would promote the listing like anything else for sale online. Get traffic from flippa, drive traffic using free methods, and use cheap paid advertising.

Just thought I would like to share my recent experience with flippa and explain in my opinion why it is such a crap website. I developed a website and put it up for sale on flippa.com I was getting lots of bids. Over 60 bids. The auction ended and the winning bidder never paid for the site. So I emailed flippa support team and they allowed me to relist the website. Fair enough.
So I relisted the website for sale and started getting a lot of bids again. For the second time, the listing ended with a winning bid.
As I was awaiting for the winner of the auction to pay (he never did pay by the way), I noticed some punk from India completely copied my website, cloned it and put it on another domain name and put it up for sale on flippa.

Naturally I was very pissed off so I sent a mean message to this thief. Obviously it was just a message in the moment, and I am sure anyone in my shoes would of done the same when they see all there hard work blatantly stolen.

So while waiting for a payment from the second auction sale of which the buyer actually never did pay, I got banned! Can you believe that?

What flippa.com should of done was look at the thiefs posting which I reported, and ban him instantly, yet I got banned for my bad message. I do agree I should of not sent that message, but under the circumstances it was justified. I put a lot of work into developing such a website and to only find that it got copied and stolen and flippa doesnt give a damn it is up for sale on their website.

So some grunt gets to sell my website on flippa, then I get banned. I am out $200 in listing fees and 2 weeks wasted time.

All flippa cares about is the almighty dollar. For this reason, they will eventually fall. They can still succeed while providing good customer service.

Screw you flippa.com
