Buying and Selling Web Sites on Flippa
Flippa has changed the way we buy and sell web sites online. No longer do we need to find a broker, have to contact buyers directly or even handle the sales transaction. Everything has been done for us. Now we can simple focus on what matters, and that's building our web sites and businesses to the point we can sell them for massive profits.
With over a thousand active daily listings on the Flippa marketplace, there is no doubt that you can find a web site to buy, or that there is a buyer waiting for you to put your site up for sale.
How does Flippa Work?
Simple, if you know how to use eBay, then you can start using Flippa. Sign up for a new account on their web site and gain access to full browsing on their web site and you can start building your own site listings as well. There is no cost to create an account on Flippa, and the transaction and listing prices to put your web site up for auction are quite low.
If you are completely lost when it comes to making a site auction listing, Flippa has already put everything in place to make the process as easy for you as possible. Once you become a member on their site, you can walk through their simple process which breaks down your site into information categories, such as how much you would like to sell your site for, in addition to general site information like a description, why you are selling and how much your blog makes.
Once you go live with your auction, you will start to receive bids from other users on Flippa, and some may even leave comments or ask questions in your listing area. Make sure to answer all questions and comments as soon as possible.
The last step of the sales process is to claim a winner, collect funds and transfer the web site to the new owner. The two most popular forms of payment are Paypal and Escrow. Escrow is usually used for larger web sites and when sales surpass the $3,000 range.
Once everything is completed and the buyer and seller are satisfied, the auction process comes to a close and feedback is left by each user.
