Awesome Reece! Thanx for that. I may add some of my .net's after I finish the others, I'm still not sure if I want to part with any at reseller prices rather then holding out for end users. If I do decide to go the end user route you know where they'll be listed

I've listed a single LLLL.net, just to see how the listing process works and i have to say, i am very impressed.

Presumably the location being shown is for whois verification? To prove the domain is actually the users?

I'm running BQB on a "Trust Until Abused" basis. Every new member is being manually checked (very easy when they're NPers to check their feedback, posts etc to get a feel for what they're about) before being allowed to buy/sell on BQB. Other than that, I'm allowing people to list domains without safeguards.

It's always recommended to do a whois check if only to make sure the seller didn't make a genuine mistake and that they still own the domain they're listing (they could have sold it elsewhere between the start of the auction and it's end and forgotten to delete the auction on BQB).

I have the option in place to manually approve every auction (currently only being used for the Generics section, however this can be done on a user-basis across the site as well) should that become necessary.

Looks really good One thing I would suggest is to change the main menu bar (Home | Buy | Sell etc) so that you can click anywhere on each tab, not just on the actual text. It'd make the site much easier to navigate IMHO (as I expected to be able to click the whole thing, and then it taken me a few seconds to realise what was going on).

Thanks Tristan! That's a great suggestion

Will definitely look into that (along with about 20 other great ideas this thread has produced so far!)

Hi Billy, just enter the year of birth (1971) and it should go through.

Ah yes, that's another suggestion I'd wish to make - "Date of birth", to me, signals dd/mm/yyyy (mm/dd/yyyy, etc). It taken me 5 minutes to realise I just had to put the year. Maybe it'd help to specify this on the registration form?

Definitely Tristan

Zems pointed out to me by pm that I was missing at least 1 country (Serbia), so I'm going to have to go over the countries list as well and make sure I'm not missing any others.

Portugal was in , and yes, I suggest you ask the developers to forget UK is the center of the World

Default Country UK
Date Format - UK format

I'll be listing some crap later on.

I'm lucky I used to work as a WM... So much to modify (being fair to the developer, the script wasn't initially intended for running domain name auctions!).
