eBay Newbie - Need Help!

DotDealers · Jul 14, 2002

Hey Guys,

I want to give eBay a try with my domains listed at NameClearance.com. Can someone give me some instructions on the best way to list there and what it will cost me?

What I would really like to do is this... I would like to run one auction for each price category I have (ie. $99, $79, $49 and $25 domains) and list all the domains at that price in each auction. Then have it that the winning bid gets to pick which domain they want from the list. I really don't want to sell a domain for $1.00, so is there around that so I can still start it at $1.00, but I won't accept less than a certain amount?

Also is there a way to advertise my site through the auction? That would be cool!

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Doug

What I do if I want to try and sell a scrappy name is start bids at $1, and mark the transfer price as the shipping price, and I explain that in the desciption.

Don't add that lot to Ebay - just a few

People won't be able to go through them

Use www.afternic.com for that

I have been reprimanded by eBay for offering auctions where the winning bidder can PICK a name. I used to run an auction with my "junk" names and the bid started at $1. The winning bidder got to pick as many names from that list as they wanted at the winning bid. Then, I put it up again, minus the names that the person took. This was cool, until eBay decided that they did not like it because it violated their policies. They said allowing the wining bidder to pick from a list did not mean the auction was uniform for all participants. . .

Also, they then tried to take away my birthday for trying to circumvent their final price fee by selling more than one item while not listing it separately... i.e. they lose part of their pie.

Happy eBaying.
