Just received this email from Dan.com about commission increases (snippet of email):
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
And to further clarify, it is possible to put "make offer" on the landers, but that means a 15% rather than 10% commission?
And thank you, Sedo, for finally presenting your voice to the forum here.
Sorry to hear about this, but thank you for letting the community know, so any delayed responses aren't misinterpreted. Heal up, buddy!Hey everyone, I'm feeling rotten with a chest infection that I've been fighting since last week (not great timing but no sympathy needed) so I'll likely be out of action for a couple of days. If you have any questions on the commission alignment, DM me and I'll respond when I can.
At least 15% is better than 25%, BUT, It wouldn't be surprising to me if more folks start settling for the 10% or less commission options.It's not easy to make some money. It's all taken away by the registrar
This is a very valid point. The reason for Dan implementing the extra 2% credit card fee was because there wasn't enough profit for Dan since they charged only 9% commission. But now they'll be increasing their commission from 9% to 15% which gives them lots more profit. Therefore Dan should remove that extra 2% credit card charge. Will they be doing that?@LaszloSchenk Can you ask the team at Dan to remove these payout fees after the February alignment changes? We know there are other payout methods but to charge extra on Credit card processing and Paypal payouts isn't very justifiable at 15%/25% commission.
Sorry to hear that.

What do you actually do for GoDaddySorry to hear about this, but thank you for letting the community know, so any delayed responses aren't misinterpreted. Heal up, buddy!
Are you asking If I work for GoDaddy?! Oh, my! I got a real chuckle out of that one.What do you actually do for GoDaddy
How much do they pay you?
Are you fighting for the domainer or you just a spokesperson for the company?
My plan is to watch you all freak out and put sedo and escrow buttons on my lander due to commission increase.

it is for james and michael- both of them have gone to the dark side, sadlyDid you mean to ask this to James Iles who is a GD employee? @LoveCatchyDomains is not a GD employee, to my knowledge.

Good morning @Dane and all,This is a very valid point.

But now they'll be increasing their commission from 9% to 15% which gives them lots more profit. Therefore Dan should remove that extra 2% credit card charge. Will they be doing that?
Good morning @Dane and all,
Thank you for raising this question.
Correct, the 2% fee is going away. Starting February 1st Dan.com will no longer be adding a 2% fee to credit card transactions.
Have a great day!

Dan had a better product than GoDaddy did. And they charged less for it. GoDaddy wanted to get rid of them. Makes sense, that sort of thing happens all the time. What doesn't happen all the time is a company saying that unless you use our products EXCLUSIVELY we are going to financially penalize you. That, to me, is the bigger issue. The increase from 9% to 15% sucks. But to charge a whopping 25% commission if we don't use them exclusively is just ridiculous.I think some domainers were right, Godaddy buys other competitors not to improve them but to destroy like a cockroach, which stay in their way.
