I agree with the last post. The owners seem to have a huge chip on their shoulders. I hate the change for the most part. I like some of the flippa stuff but find the overall design hard to look at the sites.

Mark Harbottle: Co-Founder of Sitepoint has this to say to his paying customers who voiced their thoughts on the new Flippa:

Thanks for all your positive feedback guys. We appreciate it. One thing to keep in mind…
Our buyers aren’t going anywhere. They are savvy business people. They don’t care about the design of the site or the fact the logo sucks (the current logo is a placeholder BTW), they simply get on with the business of buying, and we’ve made it a lot easier for them to do that on flippa.com.

Meanwhile while you all whine and complain about the fees, the design, etc. the smart sellers are listing their sites on flippa.com and they are attracting the majority of the buyer interest. They will also get the added benefit of the PR we’re about to roll out.

So, it’s totally up to you! If you want to come across to flippa and sell your site in the professional marketplace we’re creating for serious buyers, we welcome you with open arms. If not, please do go to digitalpoint. List your site for free and see if the old adage of “you get what you pay for” applies.

I posted about my feelings as a paying customer of Sitepoint and all the negative reactions to the new Flippa. Sad to see a formerly successful marketplace be so arrogant that they think that insulting paying customers who have a negative opinion of the new site is a good business model.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for clarifying. I’m hoping this has a positive impact on ROI for advertisers in the SP marketplace. Unless the split benefits everyone, I imagine it’ll be hard to sustain.

The Classified categories – Scripts for Sale, Content for Sale, etc. will remain on SitePoint.

Flippa is only for website & domain name auctions…
