DAN.COM Domain Marketplace (Official Thread)

[DAN.COM]

DAN.COM (formerly known as Undeveloped.com) is on a path to be become the biggest domain marketplace in the world. We use state of the art technology to solve everyday problems buyers and sellers in the domain industry face. At DAN.COM we focus on automating most processes required to buy & sell domains to increase a more efficient and active secondary market for domains.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on product development and customer satisfaction. We leave nothing to chance and every single feature and element we introduce is professionally and carefully designed and built.

DAN.COM is ranked in the top 5 best-rated marketplaces in the world (According to the biggest review platform Trustpilot) and in the domain industry, we're the domain marketplace with the highest rating with an average of 9,4 out of 10 points.

At DAN.COM you will get the highest value for the lowest commission around. Due to our domain transfer automation, we can offer significantly faster handling of domain transactions and payouts (usually within 24 hours) at the lowest fee charged by any domain marketplace.

We've been the first on many fronts and proudly will continue to keep innovating. We were the first to offer optimized for sale pages since 2013, the first to provide payment plans in the form of lease to own and rentals and also the first and only domain marketplace offering free SSL on all domains parked with us for over a year now.

We have just introduced our revamped privacy policy for publishing domain sales.

In your privacy settings, you can now select if you wish to publish your sales or not.

We highly advise you to enable the feature. It will be beneficial for you but also the industry.

Have a great day.

Very good news!

Thank you! As you say, this will be very beneficial for the domain industry. And it will also improve Dan.com! As soon as you show your domain sales, more people will be willing to use Dan.com!

It's very important and valuable to know the end user domain sales, and not just the auction sales at reseller price reported at namebio, in order to have a more serious figure about the real end user prices.

So, very good news today, because along this announcement, it looks that Godaddy also finally will report their domain sales again!

Thanks Dan.com, this is definitely very important to have a better idea of end user sales, as you are also a very big sales platform!

So what exactly do I select here?

 

[domains21]

Yeah, that does feel a bit cumbersome.

Perhaps with a few small changes (English version):

Publish your sales or keep them private?

By enabling this option we will NOT publish or share your sales on our public marketplace pages (like our homepage and blockchain explorer) or to any third parties.

 

[carob]

So what exactly do I select here?

It is not clear if the privacy is ON or OFF by default.

Does sales publication require consent of both buyer and seller?

At what point is sale published - agree to buy, payment by buyer, completion of transfer to new owner, payment to seller completed, completion of payment plan?

 

[YairDD]

Does it mean we will start seeing how much was the domain sold for in dan's homepage/namebio?

Yeah, that is confusing. I think it should be reworded in a more direct, clear manner.

Something like -

"Would you like to publish your sales?"

YES.
NO.

Also, what does publishing sales actually mean in this case? How are they published?

The currently ambiguous settings for this at Dan.com settings say "we will not publish or share your sales on our marketplace (our public pages like our homepage and blockchain explorer) or to any third parties."

But there is another case where sales are displayed - mentioned in this earlier post:
https://www.namepros.com/threads/da...-official-thread.1148567/page-30#post-7577607

Wouldn't it make sense to email all Dan.com account holders about any such changes, especially if default settings are changing in the background?

Default setting is off. If you want to share your sales data, then you will have to go into your settings to enable it.

So, the final decision to share still lies with the domainer

https://www.namepros.com/threads/da...-official-thread.1148567/page-30#post-7577607

Example: https://dan.com/buy-domain/parallelmarket.com - sale being made public a month after transaction, probably permanently.

Seller was ok with publishing sale at https://www.namepros.com/threads/report-completed-domain-name-sales-here.83628/page-794#post-7770204 - name now directs to plural version - nameservers are not set to Dan.com or Undeveloped.com.

Second Example: Plantcy.com and https://dan.com/buy-domain/plantcy.com

If domain had been listed at fixed price or make offer price expectation, you may be able to find that price in Google cache or at Archive.org, or on another platform.

 

[carob]

Old sales are findable at Dan.com on the url pattern dan.com/buy-domain/example.com

https://dan.com/buy-domain/parallelmarket.com

 

[LaszloSchenk]

Good morning all,

Thank you for your feedback.

The wording is being changed as we speak. Besides, the default for all sellers is the same as it was. Every sale was being displayed in the BlockChain explorer for example. As a seller, you can now deactivate the publishing of it by checking the checker box.

@carob, what you are referring to is a simple landing page showing the domain is no longer available. It is needed to manage expectations and does not serve as the publishing of sales. If the new user does not change the nameservers upon receiving the domain the landing page remains of course.

Have a great day all.

 

[domainicate]

Sorry to ask a newbie (DAN) question, but I just moving my landers to DAN and did not see this in the help section. Is there a charge for a bank transfer or a PayPal transaction? Meaning, will banks typically charge to receive the money and does PayPal charge their fee if you get paid using PayPal?

Thanks in advance!

 

[LaszloSchenk]

Good morning @domainicate,

Great to have you on board with us.

We cover all fees on our end when it comes to payouts. However, we do not control any charges made by your bank or your intermediary bank.

Have a great weekend.

isnt the intermediary bank YOURS?

i got charged round $20 for wire... by your intermediary bank.
my actual deposit bank only charged like 2$

i wish u had an intermediary bank that didn't charge or charge this much

is this modifiable for u at all? the bank u send wires through? ty

 

[hollywood]

I think all banks charge $10-$30 for wire transfer - not saying it isn't a racket though

 

[alcy]

I think all banks charge $10-$30 for wire transfer - not saying it isn't a racket though

as i said, my bank charged 2$
there is no such thing as my intermediary bank as Laszlo said
there is just my bank

whatever is intermediary is on Dan's side.
and thats where the 16$ or so went when i got my payout.

i just do not think dan should be calling it our intermediary bank.. when its really theirs.

and therefore those fees, while may not be entirely theirs.. they are certainly way closer to be coming from them... than from us or our banks.

@LaszloSchenk why do I get error when using Dan.com name servers for domain names with .de extension? With Sedo name servers I do not get that error. The domain names are already added on Dan.com.

I get error 118 en 110 from Denic when i try to change nameserver to Dan.com

 

[Masay]

Hey Dan. Can you list what country get geo blocked.. trying access domain with Dan nameservers from Indonesia got block,domain not resolved..

 

[BrandCollectors.com]

Your portfolio site using another nameservers, it seems

 

[BrandCollectors.com]

Your portfolio site using another nameservers, it seems

no I sent direct link dan.com/domain-seller/brand-collectors

[LaszloSchenk]

Good morning @Masay

No country is being blocked by us. Could you send me an example domain in a private message?

I will make sure to check it for you.

Good morning @td11,

What message exactly is given by your registrar when it comes to the error? In addition, which registrar are you using? We have many .de domains parked with us. I am more than happy to investigate for you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Laszlo, just to clarify, the paypal payout fee for transactions over $2k is no longer present?
