Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
Does anyone getting charged with 21% vat on undeveloped commission?
I've sold some domains on Undeveloped and just noticed that I am being charged with 21% vat over undeveloped commission every time I sell a domain. Is this normal?
I don't live in EU.
Transaction ID : 40518
Sale price : $70
Got message :
We just sent the payment of $62.38. This transaction is now closed. Again, congratulations and thank you for using Undeveloped!
Shouldn't it be $63.7 ($70-9%)?
How I can say VAT was added?
9% of $70 = $6.3 + 21% on it = $7.623 = With VAT
So it resulted into 62.38
But it should be $63.7?
Thanks for helping me out so quick!Hi Singh,
You don't live in EU but did submit in your account that you're based in Germany causing this issue.
So as an Indian seller it's not normal to pay VAT over the commission and if you handle this with Simon he'll refund you the VAT once you've corrected your billing settings.
Take care,
Reza
That happens everywhere. Unfortunately part of this business.All I get is 1 ~ 2 fake inquiries a month... I have accepted few offers.. No payment was ever received..
Undeveloped is currently down.
Undeveloped is currently down.
I think this is now becoming an important thing to discuss.
When ever a seller creates new account at Undeveloped and adds me as a lead, I get mail to pay in X EUR but it has to be X USD.
The issue is when they created an account and added me as a lead, Undeveloped takes that default currency EUR into consideration which disturbs the overall process.
How to solve this?
Can we please have default as USD and not EUR so this doesn't happen further?
I understand your point and it seems fair.Hi Singh,
That seller has to set USD in his/her account. Please note that the issue you raise is caused by the seller not us. If you're a new user, it's advised to set up your account properly first and then start selling.
We try to make it as easy as possible but do require our users to put some effort in as well.
Hope that makes sense,
Reza
I understand your point and it seems fair.
But majority of audience deals in USD, so I think if it would default to USD instead of EUR that would make process more simpler for new audience.
It's just a suggestion. I am fine with how it works as I am not a new user and understand the process very well.
I just shared what I experienced recently with 2 new users as a seller...
Thank you for the informative update, Reza.Quick follow-up update:
The initiator of the issue was our hosting provider AWS (Amazon). They had a problem in their EC2 VPC network which impacted our service and caused the strange issue at our load balancer hosted with them:

The issue began at Thu, 19 Jul 2018 00:43:00 GMT (exactly when our load balancer started showing issues).

Likely because Amazon has had their own server issues due to Prime Day, they couldn't fix the issue vigorously for their clients since our servers did go online again after their quick fix but our load balancer didn't.
Thank you for the informative update, Reza.
You try to be ready for all possible issues and be as redundant as possible, but when a load balancer or data center issue arises - I understand there is nothing you can do but wait on someone else to resolve their issue while your customers are impacted. One of the most helpless feelings in the world as a business owner and their IT team.
Is it possible that Undeveloped.com maintains a page where they list all their login ID and email address of registrar?
Example :
GoDaddy
Username : XXX
Email : [email protected]
Similar for Enom and others.
I think it has become more important as now even enom needs login id of the other party for domain push (for reseller).

My created thread : https://www.namepros.com/threads/en...est-in-order-for-domain-to-be-pushed.1091672/
Both the parties (sender/receiver) will need to know login id of each other as per above thread.
How you see this suggestion?
Kind Regards,

One more domain sold on Wednesday, payment just received, thanks Undeveloped ( great platform ).
Just one suggestions, can we have an option to add more bank accounts to receive payments, for example one in euro, one in usd and one in Pounds, because we losing money in currency exchanges
Thanks in advance
Quick suggestion:
Detect forwarding as Parked with Undeveloped - so it is easier to spot if sellers have an issue with a domain. (expiring/improper forwarding/etc)
I understand this would take crawling each domain to 100% detect the redirect - but maybe you could just use the referrer when you get a hit on a domain (that is not using your NS). If the referrer is the same as the domain then count the domain as parked.
Thanks as always!
Hi Michael,
Do you mean IP forwarding or a plain redirect? When you park with us by using a-records we already spot this and mark the domain as parked. For plain redirects, we don't have anything in place (yet).
Kind regards,
Reza
Question in regards to improving your chance of sales:
1) How important is it to make your profile? Like adding a bio, an avatar image etc. do buyers even care about this?
2) Does the description for each item actually affect SEO? I am assuming it just fills in the <meta description> tag?
Plain redirect. No huge deal, thought I'd mention it to keep you guys busy.
