I have had great experience with flippa. If your domain is super premium sedo might be a better option. Flippa is a newer crowd in general.

Well try flippa for a short auction. See how much you get. If you don`t like it, get it for an extended period on sedo. Should work like that

Sedo goes for great names, names that are looking for. If you want to sell a domain that needs explaining before getting someone to buy it, flippa will be the best alternative..

I think SEDO is best for selling domain only, FLIPPA is better when selling the whole website!

Sedo is MUCH larger for domain sales. Flippa are gaining market share, though, and probably a better option for a lower end domain that would struggle to get exposure on a larger marketplace.

If your domain is premium, speak to a decent domain broker - they will have access to buyers/end-users that a public marketplace will not get you.

Update to thread, will sedo charge a fee if the domain does not sale say if I list for a month? I assume it is somewhat of an ebay for domains correct?

thanks

It would take months to years in Sedo while take only days with Flippa. definitely Flippa is better. More buyers in Flippa than in Sedo I guess.

It depends on circumstances. To sell a domain quickly, a platform like Flippa is more geared for that. You pay a fee up front, whether it sells or not, and it is listed for very short term. Sedo is a marketplace that costs you nothing up front, and is more of a passive marketplace. Sedo is your best option if you do not want to risk payment up front. All listings are free. List hundreds or thousands of domains if you want. Only pay a fee when a domain sells.

Well, you do need a very appealing, commercial-oriented domain name if you want to attract bidders.

If you want to sell quickly a domain/website then choose Flippa. For premium domains the best site is Sedo
