Ebay for domains?

[BREWSTERS]

Do you offer domains on Ebay - which category(ies) do you find work best?

I wouldn't use eBay myself but you can list under website domains .

I'm with Wizard on this one, Ebay is considered a joke for domains as far as i'm concerned

Too much cr*p for people to trawl through with rediculous prices !

I'm selling fgjkgfwhjfgjkgasjkg.com on ebay.co.uk, get it cheap, the reserve is £100,000, and the BIN is £500,000.

eBay isn't the best place to sell domains for the above reasons. Too many poor quality names with extremely ambitious BINs.

The danger is that if you list a quality domain name it will be lost in the noise.

I can't believe how much you are all running down eBay to sell domains !

I just found a cracker on there http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/grunter-co-uk...?pt=UK_Computing_Services&hash=item1c19398264

Better than Twitter !

Has anyone listed a product domain within the category for that product? For instance, tried selling bedsidetables.co.uk within the bedroom furniture category (just examples)?

I've tried this a couple of times with no interest - just wondering if anyone else has done better.

has anyone actually profited from a domain sale on ebay sale is the question, i see a sea of zero bids. Pretty pointless. I would consider avoiding it. As doodlebug expressed, it be a joke.

I can't see that working because people looking for a bedside table aren't usually also looking for a domain name. You certainly won't find enough interest to bid up the domain price.

Are you listing it under domain names too - ie listing in more than one category? I suppose it may work every now and then if you did that.

There are categories that you can do that with very successfully - a music biography book often does better if listed in amongst the band's vinyl rather than being listed under non-fiction books for example.

Most of those names wouldn't attract bids anywhere tbh.

I have paid a four figure sum for a name that I bought on eBay.

I tried it with 3 generic domains and even featured one of them, I thought generics amonst all this cr*p must get bids as it would be the only decent domain on the page but no I was wrong, no interest, I would leave it alone mate.

People don't go looking for a quality car at the scrap yard

I'd be careful doing this, I was listing PC motherboard manuals in the PC motherboard section and some saddo reported me and now my compliance rating is very low, any more reports and my fee discounts go.

I did phone eBay to argue that they actually come with motherboards when new but they just weren't interested.

Ok, noted - thanks!

Seems like ebay is a no go for selling.

I have missed a few great names on ebay over the years (I think videos.co.uk went for 5k or thereabouts) and I've bought a couple of good'uns too. But it's basically down to luck whether you happen to notice the ultra rare decent-but-bargain names in the ocean of dross...
