![]() ![]() ![]() | I have just submitted some domains and have a question about the contract. i searched this thread and did not see that anyone has raised this question yet. first, I do understand the reason for the exclusivity period in the contract. this is of course standard for all such domain auction venues. what i'm wondering though is about the discrepancy between the 30 days that the submitted domains are available to vote, and the 120 day exclusivity period. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=560553 in the event that my domain gets zero votes in the 30 day vote period, what happens over the next 90 days? the domain is on lockdown and i can do nothing with it? are you actively working, that is, making reasonable commercial effort to market, as defined in the contract, a domain that your own market has decided is of little to no value? again, i completely understand the importance of this aspect of the contract, its just i i'm afraid of my domains being held hostage for 90 days. if the market has spoken with their votes that the domain is not popular and not likely to sell high, i may wish to unload it on the forums for cheap. for example, the domain may be 120 days from renewal on the day i submit it to Bido. then i just have to let it drop rather than at least recoup $5 - $10 for it by offloading it on the forums here. Further, there is another part to the exclusivity period that says 'from 60 days after an auction or whichever is later'. this effectively means, in the most extreme of circumstances, that if my domain is put into auction by bido on the 119th day of the original exclusivity period, and fails to sell, then it will have to be under exclusivity a further 60 days, totaling 179 days (6 months). Is it perhaps the case that you have not updated the contract since adding the 30 day community voting feature? again, I hope you understand the reasoning behind my raising these questions. I think bido looks like a good service and happy to have this alternative to the other marketplaces like sedo, afternic, etc. just hoping you can address my questions. Thank you!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=560553 Its kind of surprising to think that he only noticed stuff like this with 3 minutes left to go in the auction when he didn't in the 10,077 minutes preceding it. I wonder if he would have had the same objection if the closing price had been substantially higher. It definitely looks to me as if the seller didn't like the potential closing price so he clutched at straws to not complete the deal. An auction platform should not be seen condoning such behaviour at all. The only thing that allows most of us to transact online is our word, and more and more I find people who don't keep theirs. I know the platform can't be held responsible for actions of individual members but instead of having an issue with it, offering to relist the domain 'at a later date' is certainly not something I expect from Bido. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Fascinating. What I'd like to know, is what Bido has to say about the concerns raised in the thread entitled: "The Official Sell-Your-Trademark-Domains on Bido™ Thread" Specifically the inclusion of 'WellsFargo.cn', currently sitting not very pretty in your pipeline. It's noteworthy.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Since it wasn't an error on only a few listings and not everyone checks these were overlooked. Why you allow the re-listing too. Makes sense. And yes, the description was really messy. It would have been a great bargain for me though No worries, thanks for the reply. |

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ---------- Valid point. I like to use RedApple.com as an example in TM discussions. If the seller knew that the domain was going to be used to infringe upon Apple's TM, then selling it to him would simply make you an asshole. BUT if the buyer NEVER SAID what he was going to do with it, then whose to argue? That isn't the same here: I'm pretty sure the buyer (assuming one person alive would want the stupid thing) won't use WellsFargo.anything for a Johnny Depp fan site. Essentially, BIDO is selling bullets to a guy who it knows will use them to shoot people. | ||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Their title is BIDO -- the TM just means trademark. But I see where you;re going. It makes me wonder if they'd remove BIDOAuctions.com from the site -- simply because it infringes on THEIR trademark. I'm not trying to start something here but it seems that BIDO doesn't care about TM 'til it hits home.

![]() ![]() | BIDO has been going downhill in the last few months. 90% of the domains are pure crap and most of the recent sale prices are barely above the initial bids. Heck most domains don't even get bids. There is simply too many domains and the 'experts' don't even bother commenting on them anymore. You are lucky to see one comment a week. Not so social anymore. Now will accelerated auctions even more crap gets to the front. Seems like greed will lead to BIDO's demise. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I think Bido has the potential of becoming the biggest and brightest online auction house of the 21st Century. The staff seems to be listening to the domaining community and refining their platform based on this feedback. If Bido would just step-up and admit that they screwed up allowing domains like WellsFargo.CN to be listed, I think it would go a long way to help repair their reputation and increase domainer participation. IMO.
