I knwo you posted this a long time ago but just incase you haven't got an answer, you should be able to post on your website that you want to sell it and add contact information and if anyone is interested you just give them all the information like ftp access, user name(s) password(s) associated with it and it should be as easy as that, I think! Well you might have to change the billing information also!

If you mean to get a good price for your domain then I will suggest to find any auction sites.
More people are visiting auction sites than normal internet shops.

Sign up to Sedo, they will advertise your domain name for sale and even pay you commission on any advertising click throughs you get while you are waiting for it to sell (assuming you park it with them), all for free!

The actual process of selling a domain name depends on the domain extension, is it a .com or .co.uk for example? The process is very different for these.

I would not recommend auction sites to sell domain names, they usually don't have the appropriate market. I've just listed some names on Ebay, none of them sold and I ended up paying high listing fees instead. After discussing this with other Ebay members most people agreed it was the wrong place to try and sell domain names at.

In my opinion it's best to use Domain Name related forums (at least you can target the right people, and advertising's free) OR a Domain Name Reseller website. I dont recommend Sedo though, as they are well known for over-valuing names and charging high fees. I know, I've been there. They overvalue your name to get a fatter commission, and you end up losing a lot of potential buyers. I've had domain names listed on Sedo for YEARS and I'm still waiting for a sale...

Hope this helps!

I suggest domain name forums. www.chowcow.com for example. there are high bidders on this site, with a great turn around.
