I have used it multiple times:
Advantage:
Advantage:
- Escrow make transaction safe and smooth
- There are many buyers
- They have a long waiting cycle, multiple approvals until get paid.
- Many scams or spam people, just contact to get the info, probably hinting for some working ideas

My experience: Flippa is the worst platform when it comes to selling/buying websites.
So many time wasters there. Plus, their support is absolutely not responsive. Takes days to get a reply.

It's a bad platform, but it's still the king in this niche, there are just a few competitors and most of them are focused on huge websites, if you don't have a website that can be sold for +$50k, you will probably need to stay with Flippa

I've sold the majority of my smaller sites that did not qualify on EF through FB groups. Only thing to make sure when doing so is using a escrow service.

How do you find these fb groups?

If you just search something like "website buy sell trade", a good amount will pop up. I usually cross post to all of them when I'm ready to sell something.

I've sold plenty of sites on Flippa. My advice, if you're selling anything upwards of $30k+, use the broker service they offer. The below is true to my experience, most recently in Feb '22.
Reasons;
Whilst they won't offer this outright, if you insist on getting regular "reach upgrades" - Search Boost, Display Boost, Newsletter inclusion etc. Tell them you want these addons free, and want them to be repeated more than once.
After initial discussions, the assigned broker will ask you for the minimum value you'd accept. This is the time you state the min selling price you'd consider but don't commit to that as a reserve. I.E Will consider offers above $35k but right to refuse. Anything above $45k I would ultimately accept but don't make this known to buyer to allow potential final negotiation increase.
Tell them you want a reduction in the flat broker % fee and in return for that if they sell over and above X value you will pay them a bonus on a sliding scale.

What is your experience with Flippa buyers? Do you have any suggestions to get more people to view my sales page

For what price would you list a website that is making around $70/month?

If you have 12 months history, if it is passive income, if it is evergreen niche, I would go with an auction, starting price of $1, so you get the traction. If the auction does not hit the price you need you are not obligated to sell it. Also, once auction is over and your site happens to be unsold, people contact you with their offers.

That's what happened but sadly i accepted an offer but sadly the buyer backed off after i didn't accept to lower the price. Flippa relisted my listing for free but still wasted time
