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.

Suggestions are always welcome but a lot will already change with our new redesign.

Looks fantastic! When will we be able to use DAN as a registrar, and will domains registered at DAN get that special "get this domain immediately" message on the sales lander?

I'd like to know when DAN registrar will be launched. What will the advantages of having domains registered at Dan over those that are not?

 

[LaszloSchenk]

@DAN.COM / @LaszloSchenk, about "Verified trusted seller", is that necessary ? Poor for sellers that don't have that badge, it could impact selling our domain on your platform.. IMO. We're domainers not eBay or Amazon or Themeforest sellers. Please consider not to show that badge on the landing page. Thanks

Dear @ET76

Thank you for your feedback.

Yes, it most certainly is necessary. Before the trusted seller verification, leads contacted our support trying to verify if a seller was legitimate or not. After introducing the badge the number of inquiries was reduces and outright purchases increased.

The new sellers are not more impacted by it as opposed to when this was not displayed. Their leads contact our support desk and we grant the required information to gain trust. Once one has sold and delivered 5 domains with us they will get the trusted seller badge as well.

Have a great weekend.

Indeed, domains managed at our own registrar will be delivered close to instantly to buyers and that will be shown on the for sale page.

 

[DAN.COM]

Will it be possible to use sold domains funds to register domains on dan ?
Will it be possible to register domains thru API ?
Months ago you spoke about an API for making purchase buttons on our sites, will it be available or not ?

Yes, we're introducing account balances with the introduction of our Payoneer integration.

At some point you will be able to handle all seller/registrar actions via our API including registering domains.

The API to offer DAN purchase options on your own service is available. You can submit an integrator request via support and when approved start using the service.

Our registrar services will be cost price, we will never lock your domains (unless it's newly registered per ICANN rules), we will never increase our registration or renewal prices and domains managed at our registrar will be transferred close to instantly to buyers making the process extremely efficient and fast.

Excellent! When will it be launched?

Excellent! When will it be launched?

Somewhere in Q2 of 2021.

We're hiring 2 developers a month at the moment to accelerate our product roadmap. This year, after the first version of DAN 2.0 goes live, you can expect bi-weekly product updates from us.

We've built an amazing product development and product design team that's going to deliver some amazing new features in the coming years.

Possible transferwise integration?

Hi TopDom,

This is the first time I see these questions, here are the answers:

-Do you require ID?

1: We do not. However, we do perform KYC on all first time sellers.

- Do you track visitors? (real time IP) Do you track bidders ?

2: Yes

-Do you payout by Paypal? Wire?

3: Yes

-Can you show a list of past sales or top sales?

4: No - however, Over $1M a month in domains are sold at DAN.

-Do you allow rent only? Other people said you change whois during lease, and this is good.

5: We offer Lease to own and domain Rentals. Both options you can set within seconds in your account.

-How much info about sellers do you give to buyers?

6: You decide which info you show to your buyers in your Privacy settings. Once you have a sale, do note that your billing details will be shown on the automated generated invoices we send to your buyer.

-Can buyers contact sellers, during negotiation, or at other times?

7: Yes.

-If there are some past bids which didn't lead to a sale, then will past bidders be informed in case of auctions, or when a BIN price added?

8: At the moment we don't do this yet.

I would simply advice to create an account and test DAN.COM. A lot of the questions you raise would have been answered by doing that.

Kind regards,

Reza

Hi
When i add my domain on Dan do i have to add Dan Nameservers in my Domain Registrar for verification ?
Thanks.

Hi

Thanks.

At minumum, you have to list 2 DAN nameservers for your domain. These are: ns1.dan.com and ns2.dan.com.

In your DAN settings, you can also enable "Automated Ownership Verification". Once enabled, you can add a 3rd nameserver as well (like verification-XXXXXXXX.ns3.dan.hosting), to speed up owner verification for domains that might have been listed earlier by previous users. This way you prove that you're the new owner, as you're the one that controls DNS settings for the domain.

Yes. Just add the following nameservers to forward the domain to the landing page at Dan

ns1.dan.com
ns2.dan.com

Hmmm. There must be a party in the office of Dan the last couple of days. They keep moving out of my account one of my domains. I am telling them that I am the new owner. They move it in again. Couple of hours later I receive an email that they moved it out of my account to the account of the new owner. I am telling them again that I AM THE NEW OWNER. They put it back. Couple of hours later - they move it out again. What is happening with you, DAN support? Are you doing this on purpose for some reason or what? I have other domains that I already own and want to put them for sale in DAN but they are already listed there. I am afraid to ask them for their help. I dont know what they can do.

Check your dns record. If you bought it from someone else and haven't changed the dns records, it still might have the previous owner's records proving him/her as the owner.

 

[sofiapartner]

OK. I just deleted the dns verification. Maybe that was the problem. We'll see.

 

[SuperDudePro]

What is the current minimum BIN price for domains listed at DAN? I remember when it got set to $100 minimum last summer. I'm trying to set some of my domains at low prices to move them. I can't go under $500 minimum. Is that new or is there some other setting that I'm missing?

The issue is from your settings. Set your default minimum under the sales settings. Once done, you can now change the minimum per domain name under the portfolio page.

Dan's minimum is $99

Dan is looking like #1 to me to list and sell names.
Is there a way to add custom backgrounds?

 

[LaszloSchenk]

OK. I just deleted the dns verification. Maybe that was the problem. We'll see.

Dear Sofiapartner,

This is most certainly the case. Unfortunately, we had no party the past couple of days but you have experienced the ownership verification. When the previous owner's ownership verification records are still set on the domain they will get moved out automatically.

Best regards,

Good morning @MasterOfMyDomains,

Thank you for the kind words.

This most certainly is possible. In order to upload a background visit your general settings. The left side window provides multiple options. Select seller profile and add the background image you wish to add.

Have a great week!

Morning @LaszloSchenk

This verification method at DAN works very well. A question I have is, whether this method could even be improved when your internal systems will be (re)querying authoritative DNS servers directly, instead of waiting for TTL to expire, at the moment a duplicate domain is added to a portfolio. Just a thought.

 

[DNGear]

Any one getting Trafficbot.live visits? I have around 400 visits running in my GA. How to blacklist that domain?
