Listing your .eu domain for sale, yes or no?
I am wondering how you feel about this subject in respect to .eu domains.

You can say that this method is better to reach potential customers.
But in the case of .eu names this can lead to an adr dispute where the complaining party can use this method against you, claiming bad faith when registering this name.

Dito is the parking of an .eu domain also a sign of bad faith.
And i guess (i am not sure) that putting your domain on sale trough a whois method doesn't garantee your safe from an adr disputes either.

Placing your domain for sale at the diverse fora on the web can help but can also lead to inquisitive "buddy" domainers who will see an opening of taking your domain by force instead of paying for it (due to bad faith).

One can build a mini site, but where can one place a sign "this domain is for sale", without showing bad faith.

Thus what course should one follow to succesfully sell his domain to potential buyers, without the risk of loosing the domain?
And furthermore can somebody explain to me why some people just sell there .eu domain at sedo and others, seemingly not bothered by the bad faith clause in eurid's policies?

Seems to me not a problem, unless you grabbed somebody else's trademarked term as a domain name.

How do you mean not a problem?
Say for example you have the domain example.eu
You have a advertisement on the example.eu webpage stating "this domain is for sale" , what would keep me (a potential buyer) from filing a dispute against you, with the threason: you registered this name with the intention of selling example.eu, thus bad faith.

[edit reason] "Example.eu" and Example.com are our favoriate examples of domains. Thank you. [/edit]
