I use it whenever I sell a domain or other item on Craigslist, Twitter, or message board, because it's free to use and makes sending and receiving money via PayPal easy.

No Cart is a great service (and by all means you should use it) but I found it's not the best solution when I want to sell a domain but don't already have a buyer. My solution for this: MyDNStore.

Like No Cart, MyDNStore lets enter your PayPal information and create links for items to sell, however there are a few major differences:

1. You run your own store, meaning on your own domain and you're the only person who can use it
2. You can edit the items you list for sale
3. It's specifically for domains (I've seen people sell tea, furniture, and even cars using No Cart)
4. When you sell a domain (such as voteforkids.com) people who visit the name will see it's for sale AND will stay on the domain

Several people were using No Cart to sell domains but had to create their own redirects to send traffic from the domain to their No Cart page. A self-hosted install of MyDNStore does this for you.

MyDNStore.com is where I run my store and offer this free script. Try it for yourself at demo.mydnstore.com (admin/admin).

The script is for personal use only and is not to be modified or sold without my permission. Contact me for licensing information if you wish to use MyDNStore for commercial purposes.

Requirements

- Apache w mod_rewrite enabled
- MySQL
- PHP

View the README file (it's in the zip) for instructions on installing and configuring the script for your site.
