Selling Web Sites On Ebay

Filed Under my web sites · Tagged:  

Before you consider selling websites on Ebay, take a careful look at the marketplace. You might be scared off by what you see. It’s good that you looked before you started putting time into this. The problem with most of the things you see in that category on Ebay is that hundreds of the same exact site have already sold. The way to get a good sale in Ebay is to have a unique site for sale. That, of course, takes time to build and IME it’s a very low return for the amount of time you need to invest into it. If you want to spend a lot of time and hard work and make a little bit of money, it might work out for you. The other problems, you might see a glimpse if you look at the category regularly (I do), are it’s full of spammers and scammers. I’d say that about 95% of the listings in the category are junk spam. A lot of stuff in there isn’t even a website for sale, it’s people selling garbage on the hope that an idiot will actually give them money. Most of the websites for sale are template sites that took five minutes to build. The sellers put them up over and over again hoping to catch a sucker. Or, they’re a hosting company and this is a way for them to bring in new hosting customers. Then, there’s the deadbeat bidders. Some of those have buyers remorse, some are your competitors trying to mess with you. Ebay has done a very poor job of keeping categories like this clean. This one is one of the worst.
