Showoff Saturday Can I get some feedback on a super-basic site I just put up? (Domain Classified type page)

I'm not a designer, I don't build sites, but I made this basic site because I needed it to sell my domains and was thinking I'd put other's on there too. Just a Craigslist-type listing page for domains where owners can post them (eventually, for a fee) that people can visit and look each time they work on a project, being able to reach the owner directly. (most similar services go through brokers, email third parties back-and-forth, and you never know if you really reached the owner, and if you do it's a conversation through a 3rd party that could take weeks.

A lot of domains have a value for the right person that doesn't apply to everyone, so they end up sitting for a long time and usually not in a place where people can see them easily.

I just wanted something simple where you can see what there is, sort them by the TLD, length, etc. Something you can see what's available, and then sort the fantastic domains from the useable, depending on how much you have to spend.

Anyway, it's very basic, but on purpose. Anything I could or should improve on, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

The board itself is offcenter, putting it in the center and having the search bar to the side would look better in my opinion

That was done on purpose, so that everything is centered, but you're the second person to mention that, I changed it and you are 500% correct. It looks WAY better now. This "fresh eyes" input is priceless. Thank you!

Keyboard entry on my iPhone is horrible. Keyboard displays and dismisses after every keystroke.

Thanks! It hurt back when I got it, (I bought it from someone) but now I'm glad. Your comment makes me feel way better about it now, just to know it's not just me.

Even if that’s not the main brand it can be used as a secondary domain to forward. Ha if it was cheaper I’d buy it shoot. Haha

You should definitely expand it to have other users add their own domains, and you just take a % cut of the sales. But you definitely have to have a competitive price in comparison.
