Where is the best place to sell a domain name
jacquesm: moniker ?Pitfalls ? Yes, you could get a lot less than what you need.The best way to sell a domain is to have someone that wants it when you have it, an auction is only successful if there are multiple people that want it so it is better to go for the auctions that are well published and that have sold domains like yours for good money in the past.Another thing to watch out for, make sure you use an escrow service that has a good reputation or a tame lawyer to handle the transaction if it is a lot of money. The fees will be small relative to the amount and you'll be sure to receive the money.The procedure is:Buyer places money in 3rd party account of escrow holder (someone both you and the buyer trust).Seller receives notification from escrow holder.Seller transfers domain to buyer.Upon being presented with proof the escrow holder releases the funds to the seller.There are minor variations on this but in general that's how it goes.Another things to watch out for: Never ever use an escrow service that a potential buyer comes up with, there are plenty of cases out there where the buyer was in cahoots with the escrow service. Better no deal than a bad deal.
