news Dan.com to increase comission from 9% to 15% effective Feb 1st 2023

I just feel like a toad in a boiling water when dealing with GD 🤧 Even in the early domain registering days, GD was the worse with their unnecessary upsells and pricing. GD doesn't offer trust. They just spent the most in marketing to get their name known. They're the most predatory registrar...

I'm pretty sure they anticipated us not being happy about it and hate the feeling corporate sees it as just white noise complaining. It feels like they don't expect majority of us to create our own path and at the end of the day, they're right to not worry if all the dissatisfaction doesn't dent...

advice Now that DAN updated it's commission, what's the best approach?

@WillW Wait, WHAT? SAV only charges 4%?? I been sleeping on this. Tysm for the info!! I need to take a look at their landers 😁 Did you get to read what the SH said to the buyer? I know they have the option to negotiate for you if you're comfortable with that. The only problem I had with SH is...

news Afternic to Increase Commission to 25% for Those Not Using The GD-Related Landers, But Decrease Commission to 15% for those using them.

This is exactly what they want all domaineers to do. Controlling the marketplace by twisting our arms ☹

Dan took more than that amount in one commission sale from me so I guess it's relative to what your sales are. You pay more upfront cost for Efty's so it's not the best option for anyone starting out but the downside of Dan/GD would be higher commission fees when your names do sell.

It does feel like that now. Dan used to be a safe haven for a lot of domaineers and nobody seemed to be happy about GD buying them out when they did but by doing so, they did trap us in an ecosystem surrounded by GD's business model. We're just players trying to avoid the endless battles 😣 Btw...

Make my own lander and hope Dan doesn't discontinue the 5% commission fee for bringing in your own lead.. 😆 BUT seeing how they're running their business now, not sure how safe my buyers will be from overzealous GoDaddy salemans from contacting them again for another sale (not owned by me) 😔💔

@jhm Hey! Glad to be able to read your reply again 😊 thank you so much for your appraisal! I thought everything I listed would be categorized as "usable" but I guess that's why 2nd and 3rd opinions are so valuable. Maybe it was too much to think SourceRemote can be used as a recruiting site...

Right?! The 25% fee just feels so unethical and an obvious move to control where we park our domains. "Or play Tetris." 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 Someone mentioned SH charging 7.5% commission with their standard listing. Might move some names there and just upload a logo myself (their in-house logo cost $5...

Bill, I'm so sorry to hear!! 😭😭😭😭 We never conversed personally but seeing from the responses you already got, it's clear you've already made an impact to the people who did have the chance to hear you talk. I'm sure this feeling only amplifies among your friends and family. To those who ever...

The new commission rate doesn't start until Feb 1st. Could it be possible some domainers want to lock in the 9% commission rate/close some deals before the end of the month? It'll be interesting to see the statistics between Jan 31st and Feb 1st..

offers Buyer wants to pay 5 figures.. requesting help from a more experienced domaineer

Outside questions like/similar to what @Rhinnnn have asked, I was expecting people to follow up in DMs if they were interested in taking part in closing the deal. I didn't think disclosing the name publicly was wise and I appreciate you offering your opinion privately.

Hmm you LOWERED your prices after the announcement? Is it because the names you list with Afternic are mostly in the xx and low xxx? I think other competitors are taking notice with so many domaineers looking at their options now. I got a notice from SH that they're charging 4.5% for imported...
