If you take domain investment seriously, then having your website where you can showcase your portfolio, receive offers from and effectively communicate with potential buyers is a must.
Listing your domains on third-party markeplaces should be supplementary - borrow a leaf from most successful domain investors.

Why do you need your own branded marketplace?

• Selling directly is both faster and cheaper than listing on third-party marketplaces.
• Your domains do not compete with other domains from other sellers.
• Your domains do not compete with marketplace owners' inventory for front page and premium spots
• Exposure matters a lot. Investors with own marketplaces record far higher STR as compared to the industry (1% - 2%) average.
• You can promote your business both online and offline and point leads to your own marketplace.
• Money and time spent on promotion is not wasted - you are promoting your own brand and business future.
• You can communicate better with potential buyers and even conduct outbound marketing.
• With time You gain authority and trust - intangile assets, yet necessary ingredients for growth, which third-party markeplaces are ripping you off.
• You gather valuable statistics on your domains in order to make informed decision - renewal, pricing, origin/source of type-traffic, conduct A/B testing, etc.

Also remember, domaining is not only buying good domain names, but also selling. They go hand-in-hand. Easy to buy, hard to sell. Just listing your domains on third-party marketplaces and keeping your fingers crossed will get you nowhere - on the long run. You must be hitting on all cylinders in order to succeed. Most domainers ignore this simple logic to their peril, hence overwhelming majority record loss year in, year out.

Even if you have good domains (which by itself is subjective) the industry average sell-through rate is 1-2% in a given year for most portfolio. Apart from renewals, What do you do with the rest 98%? You can monetize them. Profitably. That's another reason to have your own marketplace not only with unique landing page for each domain, but also with blogging facilities, where you can create unlimited, SEO-rich pages on pratically any topic and then monetize, using state-of-the-art monetization plugins.

Technically, to achieve all the above objectives, you need a set of advanced tools. This is where DNHat comes in.

Apart from selling directly or/and receiving offers in your mailbox, from your Domain For-Sale Landing page, you can additionally/optionally link to over 22 marketplaces, giving your buyers the option to finialize purchase of your domains on popular third party platforms:

4.CN, AfterNic, Bido, BrandBucket, BrandPa, CAX, DomainAgents, DomainLore, DomainState, Dynadot_Auction, Dynadot_Listing, Flippa, GoDaddy, Namecheap, NameJet, Namerific, NameSilo, Sedo, SnapNames, SquadHelp, Undeveloped, Uniregistry.

Some investors have opined that linking to externaal marketplaces equates to depriving your marketplace of valuable traffic. That is half-truth. It all depends on how you implement the process.

DNHat is very creative in this aspect, making full use of Exit-Intent technology. From the Admin Area, you can configure your domain landing page such that option to purchase from external marketplace(s) is proffered as an afterthought. The option will be hidden and only pop up once, when the potential buyer attempts to close or leave the landing page or navigate away from your site. Simply put, when you have absolutely nothing to lose.

Augmenting the efforts of third-party marketplaces (where your domains are listed) is an approach many domain investors have found highly effective.

For example, there is solid logic in advertising your business with link pointing to your marketplace website as initial point of sale (POS). Buyer decides if he/she wants to buy directly from you or choose any of the popular third-party marketplaces.

Apart from saving big on promoting your domains (since you are promoting your entire portfolio with a single Ad), there may be other reasons why you might want to re-direct buyers to a third-party platform to complete the purchase : level of trust enjoyed by established marketplace(s), payment security, lack of technical know-how in transferring domains to buyers, you don't want to go through the rigors of domain escrow services, international payment processors don't operate in your country, etc.

Another option is to first negotiate price and terms with potential buyer after receipt of offers via your website and then make use of a third-party marketplace Escrow services for payment processing. For example, DAN, Epik, Sedo, Flippa. They all render payment/escrow services.
Generally, this service costs between 2% - 5% of the amount involved, which is far cheaper than listing your domains on their marketplace(s) for sale and paying 15% - 25% in the event of successful sale.

Again, linking to external marketplaces from your domain landing pages is optional and can be enabled/disabled at will. Same goes for engaging their domain escrow services. You may also opt for Escrow.com proper.
