How does a domain transaction work?
First off, Media Options takes information security very seriously. All transactions and information is 100% secure with us and our payment partners PayPal & Escrow.com. No need to worry!
Most of our transactions are handled through these two methods. Transactions under $5,000 are generally handled through PayPal unless the buyer is a new client who we are not familiar with or who is uncomfortable with paying us directly. All transactions over $5,000 are usually handled through Escrow.com unless specifically requested otherwise by buyer or seller. Escrow.com is the leader in internet escrow services. It is fast, easy & free to setup and account and there is no safer or more secure way to handle a domain transaction! We have used Escrow.com to settle 7 figure domain sales for us – you are in good hands.
Unless requested by either buyer or seller to be kept private, Media Options reports our sales over $1,000 to DNJournal. However, nearly 70% of all of our transactions are kept confidential using a standard Non Disclosure Agreement at the request of many of our clients. There is no additional charge for keeping your transaction confidential.
What are your quality criteria for domains eligible for your Premium Brokerage Service?
Media Options is very careful in selecting only the highest quality domain names for our Premium Brokerage Service. We are a “boutique” domain broker and not for the masses. We must reasonably believe that we can sell your domain for a minimum of $25,000 for it to be considered for our premium brokerage service. Most domains which fit that criteria would be one or two word .com / .net / .org domains with lots of exact match search volume (according to the Google Keyword Tool). These types of domains generally receive type-in traffic and have high value for ecommerce or some unique application. Some examples of these types of domains are: PillowCases.com, Rings.net, Vermont.com, CarInsurance.org, MovieTheatres.com, etc…
We also will consider short and highly brandable domains which are easy to pronounce, easy to spell and most likely are in the .COM extension. Some examples of these types of names are: eBiz.com, Ploro.com, Sou.com, Youshi.com, Fams.com, FAV.com, etc…
If you have domains that fit this criteria, please contact us as we’d be happy to help you market your domain for sale and maximize your return!
We also have a great track record at selling smaller value domains as well, primarily by marketing them through our Domain Newsletter which goes out ever Tuesday & Thursday (and when enough high quality ccTLD domains are available, we also have a supplementary Wednesday ccTLD Newsletter for extensions such as: .de, .co.uk, .us, .me, .in, .ca, .pl & other country codes).
