Can someone help me develop interest in Undeveloped.com? I have tried severally but always give up. That marketplace is very uninspiring to me. Same as Afternic. Same as Godaddy, I only use Godaddy to receive domain push, after which I'm gone with my domains :xf.grin::xf.grin::xf.grin:

well... to help you develop you can read this thread.
then point your names to their dns for sale landers
and when you get offers and sales, and see the sale flow process there is good chance you will be pleased with it like most people are here.

Low credibility or what???

Regarding Undeveloped escrow...
I already had 3 failed sales there in 2019... or just 1 of 4 sales has finished successfully.
After negotiations (even after long negotiations) when transaction was started - 3 buyers disappeared.

we all had failed sales there...imo its buyers fault

endusers have no clue about credibilities of given market..they just want easy smooth ability to pay

the way i see it is that if my sales fail then buyers were not serious to begin with

But I had only 1 failure starting my escrow transactions at Sedo... for many many years...
That's why I have these concerns.

yes i understand .. i was making point that because on sedo there may be fewer not serious buyers... it means that those who make those unpaid sales on undeveloped..they would never maybe even make offer on sedo...so this means less unpaid sales on sedo imo

I'm talking about Sedo escrow... not about their marketplace.
Only 1 case at Sedo for many years.

A few non-payers were using Sedo marketplace.

i was talking bout undev offers..why more unpaid..cause maybe more buyers here not serious...so when u get yer leads elsewhere no matter where..and then send them to sedo escrow... maybe those leads/buyers are just more serious than undeveloped..thats how i see it

I think Sedo is harder for people to use, so you will likely find more serious people in there which might increase the likelihood of more completed sales.

UD is much easier to use, which means less seasoned people or total noobs can use it to buy, which might increase the likelihood of more walk aways or non serious buyers.

Its not UD's fault. Its that if an idiot can get easy access to something, they are likely to abuse it. I think UD brings more eyeballs and potential buyers than Sedo, but it also brings people who should not be allowed to make their own decisions or own a credit card. :-P

I compare Sedo escrow VS Undeveloped escrow...
After direct negotiations with buyers.
This is not about their landers or something like that.

I like using UD with BIN only, otherwise I lose a lot of time in negotiation for nothing.

In that case, it's strange that before UD youd did not have problems with sedo, it should be about the same.

Yes, the only 1 such case with Sedo escrow.
2 or 3 (I don't remember exactly) were using Payoneer Escrow.

And those buyers didn't disappear...
They just rejected Payoneer... and then I have sold these domains via Sedo and GoDaddy Auctions.

After extensive testing I can say Undeveloped is as good as it gets for frictionless sales with serious buyers. However, unfortunately there's tons of people out there who have no clue what they are doing, or are looking at multiple domains at the same time so feel no issues backing out of deals if they got a name they wanted etc.

Two obvious ways to avoid this are BIN only with undeveloped (with/without installments) , if you want make offer in any form then either accept there are an unreal amount of people who are clueless, have no budget to start with, are under age, or have no morals whatsover and their word means nothing, they can say 100 times they will pay but won't.

One possible suggestion Undeveloped suggested to me was a hard captcha they are thinking of implementing to try and reduce spam buyers/timewasters from certain regions where failed buyers are higher than others. i personally think it's a great idea.

Otherwise just accept the above reality nothing anyone can do about such people, they are a dime a dozen.

ah ok my bad.
I thought you were talking about what everyone here is talking about
which is why they get more unpaid buyers from undev sale landers than elsehwere.

so you are talking about:
importing a lead into undeveloped escrow
vs importing lead into sedo escrow.

in this case I do not know why this would be so.

maybe when you import into sedo the agents call buyer? I never used sedo standalone 3% escrow actually.

here if you import lead, buyer just gets email. they do not call him I think.

but even to conclusively accurately decide all this you tyalk about here.. you would need to test on same domains... not different domains

meaning for example:

if you import lead to undev, and no payment
and then week or 2 week later you import into sedo and there is payment

is this what you did?

You are importing your own lead into UD. How could @Undeveloped verify those buyers and force them to pay?

I might be misunderstanding,but here is my response to what I think you are asking. I use Afternic, Sedo and several registrar marketplaces. There is no doubt the bigger players have certain advantages in terms of market reach. However I think that Undeveloped is worth your consideration for the following reasons.
  1. Landers. I think most agree that their landers are the best of the main choices. They are clean, professional and help build trust. I use descriptions in most of my domain names, and like that you can have long descriptions if you like.
  2. Fast. At least compared to others, I think most agree that the speed of getting the transaction done and money paid is great at Undeveloped.
  3. Friendly. I am not saying the others are unfriendly, but I have found Undeveloped responsive and friendly every time I interacted, including before I used their service.
  4. Commissions. I really like the straight 9% without minimums (and less if you bring the lead).
What do I see as the main downsides at the moment?
  • Traffic. Undeveloped get more than than they used to, and the report completed sales here thread show a regular stream of sales, but still Undeveloped could do more to get more people looking through their website.
  • International Reps. Sedo and Afternic clearly have advantages in terms of reps from around the world who speak different languages.
Just my personal impressions. I think we are fortunate that we have 3 main choices,as well as the option to use our own sites or Efty, plus the brandable marketplaces, ToughDomains, etc. Competition is always good.

If they want more sales volume they should add themselves to ExpiredDomains.net. At least other investors could sift through the inventory then...
Uni recently did it.

To start the escrow transaction via Sedo - buyer's username is needed...
Via UD - buyer's email...

Sedo doesn't call by phone (they don't offer this service).
Only in some very special cases their agents can call (and when it is already paid... just to start/finish the transfer).

And again...
With Sedo escrow I had only 1 DISAPPEARED buyer for years.
And 3 DISAPPEARED with UD escrow for ~2.5 months.

Undeveloped will also be rebranded to another shorter, more brandable and internationally appealing name.
The most important change.
This should improve credibility.

@Undeveloped
I sold a domain yesterday at Undeveloped.com and i was looking forward to a swift transaction.
This was my first sale at Undeveloped and what i realized was, the experience at Undeveloped could be more user friendly and optimized, if you had a real-time chat option, where we could have all the details of escrow sorted out over a few mins of conversation, instead of the hours of waiting, for the escrow agent's response, that comes with the current experience.

Hours? I waited a MONTH for payment into my account with Go Daddy Auctions. Name sold at the end of January, they were paid within a day and transferred the domain to buyer within a day from that. I had to wait just about a month longer for my payment. Meanwhile sold TWO domains via Undeveloped and got paid within days of the sale, all in that time I waited for my payment at GD.

You cant get faster than Undeveloped in terms of payments and quality of service. IMO.

Undeveloped.com is running really well at the moment. Helped a lot for making my sales happen, particularly impressed with Laszlo
Timely response, even helped me close deals.

Laszlo is incredible with his fast and courteous support! He should be a model to all customer support persons!
