I transferred couple .ca to you other day. I like using you bin landing pages pages. However the price displayed shows no currency. Is it possible you to put USD beside bin price, or even better give us option of currency to display CAD
I dont want Canadian customer seeing 399 price, then going to check out and it 500+ dollars CAD due to exchange. If they knew was USD then they wont be surprised.
I wonder if different price levels behave differently?.
Button display
There are two different buttons that are available. You can elect which to show:
Show Buy Now Button:
- Buy Now
If you have a Buy Now price then that price will be displayed. If you have a Buy Now price and the price is under $5,000 then the button will add the domain to the shopping cart and the buyer can purchase right away. If over $5,000 then the button will link to the main sales page as a wire transfer would be required.
- More Info
If selected to show, a button will be available which will link to the main sales page for the domain. For auctions, the button will say "Place a Bid". For offer/counter-offer sales, the button will say "Purchase Options" if the Reserve matches the Buy it Now price, or it will say "Make an Offer" if the Reserve does not match the Buy it Now price, or there is no Reserve or Buy it Now price.
Somewhat more global change may be useful. In some countries currency symbol is normally used before the price ($1000) and in some countries it should be after the price (1000$). Separators are also different in different countries - "5000" vs "5,000" vs "5.000". Adding geoip module together wirh a set of appropriate country-based price display rules will be a good development, and this will instantly close an issue of CAD-USD and related issues such as is it mexican pesos which are also using $ sign... what are MX-based visitors thinking now? We never know.We are thinking about the best way to do this
I guess MX guys got accustomed to that already, seeing this everywhere... Poor karma. US$ is kinda standard, so i think people know quite well that it's better to clarify wherever there is a place for any confusion. But this way, of course, adding some more symbols is always helpful, like CAD, AUD, etc. Speaking from my experience of running multiple e-shops.what are MX-based visitors thinking now? We never know.
How many different sales landing page templates does the Namesilo market have now (in terms of different designs/layouts) ? Thanks
@namesilo - Is there a way to navigate to a report showing "pending" pay-ins to be received from buyers for marketplace sales with a payment plan, where the buyer already started the process. Accordingly, at least one of his payments, the initial one, is successful and should be marked as such. Others are expected payments and it would be great to see approx. dates and expected (exact) amounts. This is for all such sales that are in progress.
@namesilo Your Template 3 has a major issue: It has no validations which means visitors can simply hit submit to send an "offer" (email with just the form titles and no values really).
Another issue I noticed is that for some reason, whenever I edit a listing with no BIN and a min offer that I'd previously set to 99, the form automatically sets a min offer value of $250 and a BIN of $4000 (IIRC). Also the pre-filled password field is quite irritating and unnerving as I'm never sure what that value is and why it is pre-filled. Can you please check these issues and fix them? I am happy to provide more information if you need.
Hi NamePros - an important announcement:
Unfortunately, due to increased cases of fraud and tax evasion, we will need to phase out Bitcoin as a payout option for marketplace transactions. Any payments currently in the queue will be delivered over the next week. We will continue offering payout options of Wire transfers, PayPal, Alipay, Skrill and Dwolla. Apologies for the inconvenience this causes to our legitimate users.
Fraud is always a major concern, but tax evasion? Are you an IRS accredited registrar cum tax agent / collector in addition to your ICANN accreditation?Unfortunately, due to increased cases of fraud and tax evasion, we will need to phase out Bitcoin as a payout option for marketplace transactions...
Why didn't you send email to inform your customers about this important event instead of making a forum post? I can't contact you and am trying to figure out for hours why Bitcon option has been removed. If I didn't search and found your post above, I would never know what happened to Bitcoin.
Why didn't you remove Bitcoin from https://www.namesilo.com/Support/Marketplace ? Don't you think you (namesilo) are misleading the public as if Bitcoin is still payout option.
Why are you still accepting Bitcoin if it's a bad thing? You accept Bitcoin happily but stopped making payouts in Bitcoin. Are you forcing sellers to withdraw to account funds, so you could make profit by more sales volume?
** I will need to phase out Namesilo as a marketplace option to sell my domains if Namesilo will need to remove Bitcoin from payout options. We will see how long you will be part of 1,000,000 Domain Club if you lose your customers for this weird move.
Please bear in mind that Paypal isn't available everywhere and bank wire fees are huge to receive any amount under $1,000. Bitcoin is the only way for millions of people.

Another terrible loss for @namesilo
They sold sextoken for $90 while in client hold. This was their version of an auction but nobody gets to bid, lol. Now let’s see if it gets renewed in privacy for the kicker, or we see the winning bidders info!
Terrible business plan...
