I don't think ebay is a good place for anything that isn't a .com - you have to remember that at ebay you're trying to attract "everyone" not just domainers... in most of the domainers on ebay have a completely different mindset anyway.

Most ebay'ers know and value only .com's - so its not much point listing .info's on there... even if it is a good one.

Personally, I've found forums are the best place for quick-flips.

I´m considering registering a few .info domains, mainly for the use of setting up redirect or tracking-scripts. As far as google is concerned, I heard they don´t like .info, see .info as spammy and don´t list them anymore. Will those scripts/metarefreshes still work, no matter if google likes them or not?

Thanks for that informative thread, was a good read :)

Your argument about the proper use of .info websites makes great sense to me--mainly because I thought of it before I read this article. But my experience is that ebay buyers don't agree with us. I offered some very sensible .info names on ebay and didn't get a single nibble. But I don't despair. I make parking revenue on them, so someone likes our idea.

Hey there! Interesting question... I've been selling only via Forums - namepros in particular. Some of the sales listings also helped showcase and bring interest to other names as people started to PM me asking for my full list of names that are for sale.

I've never sold .info domain anywhere other than at forums. I've had offers via Sedo but they never led to any sales. Which again makes me stick to my "quick flippin' tactic... I don't think its easy to sell non-premium (one words in most cases) on aftermarkets such as Sedo or even at eBay.

Great Article,

That is what I have always felt that .info can be good if it is the right name. Where have you been selling the domains?
