HINTS for selling via “Domains for Sale”

Helpful hints to assist your sales turnover using the “Domains for Sale” platform

Please note, “Domains for Sale” was previously known as Domain Catalogue on the Netfleet website. We have changed the name to better appeal to new buyers, end users and those buyers and sellers not conversant in the Domaining language. It also better describes what the platform actually does!

 

1. Transfer

We advise that you transfer * your names to Netfleet or at the very least point your nameservers to Netfleet to take advantage of our “For Sale” page. (* Transferring your name to Netfleet will ensure you receive Australia’s lowest renewal rate, avoid Auction listing costs and can manage your domain portfolio in one place)

 

2. List

List your domain name in Domains for Sale. Whether you intend to sell in the Buy Now or the Auction format, we recommend you list all domains for sale in this area first. The “Domains for Sale” platform is more popular with both buyers and sellers and listing here when you intend to sell via the Auction will ensure that your listing remains even  if your domain name is passed in at Auction.

 

3. Add a BUY NOW price

Over 90% of our inactive domain name sales do not have a BUY NOW price listed. This shows the potential buyers the value at which you have listed your domain and indicates to them a better place to start.

A BUY NOW gives the buyers a ball park figure to work with. A buyer for a premium domain is far more likely to open the offer process at a good price if the BUY NOW is set. When there is no indicative price given, the buyers are often at a loss and will undoubtedly open with a $100.00 offer.

 

4. Market your name

Whilst Netfleet is Australia’s No.1 Domain Name trading platform, it does not offer domain name marketing services. Think as you would if you were a real estate agent selling a house;

a.  Create a list of potential leads; people or companies who may be interested in your domain name and call them.
b.  Call or email your list of potential leads
c.  Direct all marketing and correspondence to your sale page on Netfleet – we have honed years of technical and                 domainer experience to produce the most sophisticated and trusted selling platform in Australia – use our strength!

 

5. Always Counter Offer

Always, always, always counter offer.

Communication is the key to every sale and if a buyer doesn’t hear from you after placing an offer he/she will most probably assume that you’ve never received their offer.

Although you have the option to ignore their offer, it doesn’t serve either yourself or the buyer. It breaks down any potential communication, aggravates the buyer, stalls the sale and gives the buyer no indication of your target sale price.

It is especially important to counter offer if you’ve not added a BUY NOW price.

You must be in the game to win the game so in respect to genuine buyers who may be interested in your domain, show good seller etiquette and always counter offer.

 

6. Remember the date

You have exactly 7 days from the time of the buyers offer to accept or counter offer (or, of course to ignore however this is not advised as per the above).

When there is only 1 day left in the 7 day accept/counter offer period, you will receive an email from Netfleet – this is a reminder to ACT NOW before the sale potentially goes cold.

 

7. Keep your details up to date

a. Your registry email details

Netfleet require all domain sales to first go through a verification process. This is to verify that the seller who is listing the domain name is the legal registrant of the domain name.

The verification email will be automatically sent to the email address registered with the domain name (please note, this is not necessarily the same email address as your Netfleet account login. It is the address you listed with the name at registration).

To amend your registration details at any stage, login to your registrar account (this may be with Netfleet or another auDA accredited registrar)

b. Your Netfleet email details

All offer / counter offer / reminder emails will be sent to the email address associated with your Netfleet account (also known as your login). To ensure you don’t miss any communication from Netfleet, ensure that this is an email that is monitored at least daily and has listed @netfleet.com.au as a trusted sender.

To amend your Netfleet email at any stage, login to your Netfleet account and change your details in YOUR ACCOUNT.

c. Your bank account details

When a sale and the associated Change of Registrant is successfully completed, Netfleet will deposit the sale funds (less Netfleet commission) into the bank account listed at Netfleet.

To amend your bank account details at Netfleet at any stage, login to your Netfleet account and change your details in YOUR ACCOUNT.

Selling with Netfleet is safe, easy, seamless and stressfree – we have automated the whole process and we take the worry and work out of the sale.

We look forward to seeing your domain names listed at Netfleet and to assisting you throughout the sales process.
