Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
Is 15% the flat fee for all sales or is their a minimum?
That seems to be a reoccurring thing with UDIt has been a couple of days and I have not been getting response for my questions at UD
They don't answer on weekendsThat seems to be a reoccurring thing with UD
I know the feeling all to well.The only thing more disappointing when a fake buyer bails on a negotiated deal is probably not getting a response from your own service provider.
Last time I dealt with them I never got a response for 2+ weeks. So that "no weekends" excuse isn't an excuse.They don't answer on weekends

I disliked my experience so much with Undeveloped that I stopped my payment plan deal with the domain owner. Unfortunate for the owner of the domain. Told him I would be more than willing to continue without undeveloped.

@Undeveloped It has been a couple of days and I have not been getting response for my questions at UD, which I asked in a conversation window of a negotiated deal - while waiting for the payment. So I will ask it here as others may find it helpful too. Sorry if this was already asked earlier - not gonna read back 70 pages.

- Is there a limit to the number of times reminders are sent to such possibly deserted lead ?
- At what interval are these reminders sent ?
- How long do you guys recommend a seller to wait before you are sure that it is a fake inquiry so that the name can be switched back for sale ?
In my case, I have unchecked on the sold button, since I wanted this domain to be back on the market as soon as possible. It been 7 days since the agreement was reached and it is possible that I could be missing other leads.

In case someone needs the data for any sort of analysis - The domain is a two-keywords brandable, the agreed amount was $700 and the "buyer" is from canada.
@Undeveloped @LaszloSchenk Just thinking out loud here but would it not be an idea to allow sellers the option to mark their domains/account as requiring immediate payment/instalment?
Also, when an offer is accepted on a domain, mark it as something like Under Offer, rather than sold? Therefore keeping it listed and giving the impulsive and eager buyers their chance too.
Hey Reza, surprised I missed that about the listing update. Looks like I need to improve on my reading in this thread.When you disable the "make offer" option (in your for sale page settings) then the buyer only has the option to complete checkout at the BIN or in installments.

Would it perhaps be worthwhile to implement (as a seller selectable option) that immediate payment is required on an accepted make offer negotiation also then? (with clear notices on listing, in chat window and in any emails being displayed so that potential buyer understands this to be the case)
There's quite some activity in this thread, even I miss messages sometimes .
Some payment options aren't instant (Bankwire & Sepa or direct debit for example) which makes that model a bit hard to implement. Also, when a buyer places a bid and you accept it but they read their email 12-24 or 36 hours later, this only would add additional friction. Buyers would then contact us, request if the sale can go through after all or complain that they've already paid via bank wire but the transaction isn't active anymore etc.
What we've been thinking about and want to test soon is to add the option for sellers to auto-cancel a transaction if the buyer doesn't pay in a specified timeframe (3-7-14 days). We'll then make this condition extremely clear to the buyer.
One reason why I'm personally not that keen to introduce features like the above is that we have data that proofs that the above will hurt sales and your bottom line. So the dilemma we have is that the feature will make sellers happy but effectively also make sure you'll generate less revenue in the end.

Just did that twice recently. Very nice feature to put a domain back out there for a real buyer. Both times the "buyer" never came back to complain because obviously they were not serious.undev has feture to let you unmark as sold any sale.. at any point after sale happens.. so wenrever I see sales that I suspect will not complete (often u can tell) I unmark it right away as sold (click edit after you are in domain settingS).
I visited some of my names and checked in real time. Nothing is showing. Even undeveloped visit has not increased on those names@Haykay2005 How are you so sure it's stopped working? It's possible that GA or Undeveloped have updated the bots detection. I've been tweaking and updating my filters to rid some that still get through.
You can always try opening an Incognito/Private window and visiting one of your domains and watching in GA Real time to see if it sees it.
All I know is I didn't alter anything . The visits suddenly stopped about 8 hours agoAnother thing you can try is change the Default URL in the Property column setting (in Admin) to one of your domains and then use the Tracking Info > Tracking Code option to send Test traffic and see if it shows.
... or post one here and we can visit.
