Suggestion to Reece:
Change the words "Reputation Rating" in the listing page to something like "Sellers Reputation".
Reputation Rating is tongue twister and doesnt make much sense.

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?

-REECE- · 05-03-2008, 06:54 AM

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.

tristanperry · 05-03-2008, 07:04 AM

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).

-REECE- · 05-03-2008, 07:13 AM

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!)

Anytime, glad you like the suggestion

And you sure have your work cut out for you, the suggestions coming in from this thread are great thus far!

how to you enter your date of birth, I am aussie.

Date of Birth 28/08/1971

-REECE- · 05-03-2008, 08:35 AM

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

tristanperry · 05-03-2008, 08:47 AM

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?

-REECE- · 05-03-2008, 08:49 AM

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.

Default Country UK
Date Format - UK format

I'll be listing some crap later on.

-REECE- · 05-03-2008, 09:16 AM

Thanks Bruno

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!).

Just regged and PM you with some suggestions.
Great work which I think is filling a gap in this market niche.
Cheers!

Thanks once again for sending me that extremely detailed pm mate

Some very good suggestions that will definitely be implemented

I'm having a problem with logging in.
I can go to the site, directly through my browser and enter my username and password, then click "Log in" and it refreshes and I'm logged in.
I click a category, such as ".net's" and then I'm logged out again, I've had to constantly log in

It's not a problem at my end, i don't think, as I have cookies enabled and all other sites that work the same was as BQB (Logging in) work perfectly.

So yeah, it logs me out

-REECE- · 05-03-2008, 12:25 PM

BQB seems to not be working with either Firefox or certain versions of Firefox. Will test it out tonight and try to get to the bottom of this. Just had a chat with Sam and it works fine on his computer with Internet Explorer. I'm aware of some problems currently with OSX (Safari) as well.

VURG · 05-04-2008, 12:22 AM

Listed a N-L.net. Didn't know where to put it. Also not sure where to list my C--C.com domains.

Thanks mate

It must be certain only certain releases... I'll have to try it a bit more and see if I can figure out why a couple members are having trouble (no problems reported with IE so far).

Hi Phil, the .net is fine in the .net section for now and the .com in the "Other Short.coms" section. I'll make a few more sections for some of the other categories later today (I can move any auctions started before then to the appropriate sections at that time).

squid · 05-04-2008, 11:58 AM

Right, there is definatley a problem because I've managed to do it again.

1. Go to http://bqb.com
2. Enter details into the side box and click log in.
3. On the next page click ".net's(15)" on left.
4. Now logged out again.

So on the .net's page i show as logged out - i can log in again from there and it's fine, but the .net's page seems to log me out.

Windows XP SP2.
Firefox 3.05b

Heh, made a sale

xsam.net for $3.25 - a lot less than i hoped for, oh well

What's the procedure for once a domain has been sold?

-REECE- · 05-06-2008, 03:43 PM

Hi Sam,

There's a built in message board for discussing payment arrangements with your buyer that can be found here: http://www.bqb.com/bidding,page,won_...n,members_area . If you've added your Paypal/Moneybookers info to BQB, you should be able to pay directly from that page, provided your Paypal/Moneybookers account is funded (or setup to fund from your credit card or bank account).
