[FONT=arial, sans serif]Congratulations! Your Premium Listings domain has sold!

Domain: ******************.com
Date Sold: 2011-Mar-07
Listing Price: $ 395.00
Commission: 30%

For the very first time I used GoDaddy's premium listing to sell a domain name to an end user. Commission is 30% but the good news is that I only paid $7.66 US for it. Reg Fee!

Those of you who argue the commission is to high and that you will never use their service are loosing out. No matter what the commission is at end of the day, GoDaddy is the largest registrar with the most traffic!!! which will result in more sales!

Congrats,

I also never understood the commission to high argument, If I wanted $500 out of a domain sale I would price it at $650 to cover the commission.

Simple as that.

Congrats on a good sale.

Little doubt the top venue would be GoDaddy (because of the high traffic and 50% plus martket share), and in particular if you can get the domain as being a premium priced option when someone does a Whois search.

I have recenty noticed a few names registered at Fabulous (and also apparently owned by Fabulous) which were listed as premium listings on a Godaddy search.

Anyone know how Fabulous.com does that (since I always assumed the premium listings were only for domains regged at GD) and also why others do not do so, especially Moniker?

I don't know about fab, but moniker uses afternic.com and in WHO IS searches their domains are listed with a premium price. You can only use monikers premium listing if you have a domain with them.

I am talking about the domain being offered at a premium price when doing a GD Whois search. Since a 'zillion' times more people do a Whois using GD vs Afternic (or Moniker for that matter too) it would appear the GD premium listings are far more valuable with little comparison.

I don't know about fab, but moniker uses afternic.com and in WHO IS searches their domains are listed with a premium price. You can only use monikers premium listing if you have a domain with them.

Congrats again!

Congrats to you - and to me. I just got notified that one of my GD Premium listings (a 2-word .net) sold today. Mid-$xxx minus commission ... good ROI on a low-$xx drop catch from 6 weeks ago. Too bad we now have to wait so long for our money!

Out of about 50 domains, I have only sold one within the last few years. But, I made a few hundred on it and I would suggest putting any domains you have to sell for sale. Once in a while you get good luck.

Go Daddy premium listings is the only reason I keep my names there.

I have sold two - four letter .com's at $4,888 in the last 3 months.

Do they only pay by check? If so eems a bit backward. When google used to pay by check it would take 1 month to get the check and 3 months for it to clear here. Can't understand why these 'big' companies don't offer bank transfers - even if we had to pay extra. Google went the other way and started western unioning. I would have thought in this day and age bank transfers would be the norm.

Do they only pay by check?

I have only ever been paid by cheque and it takes between 1-2 months after the sale.

Probably the one to two months wait is in case the buyer gets their credit card statement and realizes they paid xxxx for a domain instead of reg fee.

I know they clearly list the price but if a person is multi-tasking they could just complete the purchase without realizing how much they paid until later.
