I blogged about this a while back. It may not look like it.. but this system is the beginning of something revolutionary. It links previously unlinked buckets of names so people looking for a domain name can take their pick from the best of all worlds, available inventory and privately held inventory. In the past you could only make money from your domains in paid-search and re-sales were spotty and unpredictable. This is going to value the long-tail of your portfolio which makes no PPC revenue, because it is going to drive a more consistent stream of offers and create a more reliable and vibrant secondary market for domain names:
Dear Frank Schilling,
As you may have already heard, Fabulous.com has launched its Domain Distribution Network (DDN) that allows access for domain portfolio owners to list their domains across multiple aftermarket domain sales platforms.
Some of these platforms include Registrars, Aftermarket Portals, WhoIs query websites, and Lead Generation Affiliates. In addition, Fabulous also enables domain owners the ability to have domain sale functionality embedded on their own parked domains with only a 3% (bank fees*) transactional cost for successful domain sales.
Our current implementations include a real time aftermarket sales process (during registration attempts) with the world’s largest registrar. We also expect live implementations to extend to four of the top five ICANN registrars progressively between the next few weeks and October. The sales to date have been very encouraging.
The advantages of the Domain Distribution Network:
-Dramatic increases in domain sale exposure through registrar registration processes
-Access to new Lead Generators
-Real time settlement “Instant Transfer Protocol” (60 second settlement)
-Use of domain classification, pricing tools and live customer support
-Centralized management of domain sales and traffic
-Discounted fees for sales generated by your own domains (X%)*
-High commissions for generating leads as an Affiliate
-Fixed and/or Make Offer pricing**
Fabulous.com is ready to actively sell your domains via the world’s largest registrars and affiliates. Please contact your Fabulous.com representative for more details. You could be live this week!
Cheers,
Dan Warner

Thanks for sharing this info. I’ll have to check it out. Cheers.
Fabulous is a great registrar, and this sounds like a great marketing program all the way up to where I read that they want upwards over 20% to 25% on a sale. Is that right? Nah, being too greedy doesn’t sound like Fab, can’t be true.
Here I thought Moniker’s commission at 15% was too high. Sedo stinks but at 10% they appear to be the cheapest game in town.
When is someone going to run a domain exchange for 6% and put money into advertising to the end market like the realtors do? Dreaming?
***FS*** I have heard under 5% .. you should call/check/negotiate
