We are in beta mode.
The site works. I've had over $100k in sales through biix, and another customer has had over $30k in sales and I believe he had his best year ever using biix.
I have limited time so I'm not going to handhold anyone into listing your domains at biix. I've done it in the past, those that need it end up needing more communication than I'm able to provide and most have never sold a domain or have had limited sales experience. Notice I said "communication" and not "support". The site works, if you have an error, I'll usually have it fixed within a day or two.
Here's the timeline that most people get and the priority:
- Domain Sale - Handled within hours
- Buyer inquiry - Sent to seller within 1 business day
- Existing Customer (with sales) Support Request - Response within 1-2 days
- Existing Customer (with no sales) Support Request - Response typically within a week
- New Customer with Technical issue - Typically 1-2 business days
- Any Customer with Open Ended Questions - Depends...Could be a day, could be never. I just don't have the time while in beta mode to take on every question about portfolios and hypothetical scenarios. I've listed my domains at several parking companies and landing page providers in the past and I just used their automated tools without
biix is great if you are consistently selling domains (at least several per year) and you want a method to cut your commission costs. biix is not great if you are NOT selling domains and then want to list them with biix and wonder why biix has not been getting you sales, then start making many suggestions on "improvements" that you have no expertise in suggesting. Hint that I learned 17 years ago...if you have good domains, they'll sell at any marketplace.
So, if you are in the position that I was in 12-14 years ago where you are paying $1,000-$5,000 per year in commissions, and you want to reduce that to $100-$500 per year, while having a professional looking page and using the most used, trusted and recognized escrow company in existence, then biix is probably the perfect fit.
If you are just starting out, then don't get caught up on the details and just list them anywhere. Make sure you have a price on each of your domains that is within reason and get them all pointed to landing pages and list them on the Afternic premium option network. Getting them listed with prices on a landing page and listed with Afternic's premium network are the most critical steps. It doesn't matter if your landing page is at biix, sedo, or any other place, at this stage you just need to focus on buying quality domains, pricing them correctly, and getting your landing pages setup in an effort to start getting sales.
There've been some interesting posts in this thread.
The user below is the type of user that does not belong at biix. They appear to have never sold a domain for any significant amount of money and they nit pick on things that have no relevance to anything. The suggestions are either out-of-touch or suggesting things that 99% of marketplaces do not do. My favorite comment is that "the website doesn't look good". Uh ok...sure. Move along please.
The below comment is not correct, but the user does have a reason to post what he did. I was selling a house, then moving across the country and was subsequently sick and his support requests about his account did not get processed (from NameWorth, not biix). I apologized to him and got his account squared in the end and responded within 48 hours of him cancelling.

To the user below. I appreciate your interest, but the question you gave me was what services are available for your portfolio. This service is essentially the same as any other. It is just listing your domains for sale, which mostly gives you a landing page and allows you to sell the domain for a 2% commission rather than a 9%-20% commission as detailed in the "Sell Your Domains" section.
Some people that are new to selling domains think that the marketplace sells the domain for them. But that isn't true. People find and purchase your domain by 1.) typing the domain in their address bar, 2.) searching at GoDaddy or another registrar, or 3.) by doing a whois lookup. When the buyer goes to buy a domain, they already know what business they are launching and 90% of the time they know exactly what they want to call the business. That's pretty much it. Some sites may claim to advertise, but in 99% of the cases your domain is getting a sale from one of these 3 methods above.
Again, if there is a buyer of a domain that communication gets forwarded to the seller within the same day.
