Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
I want to mention I just closed my first sale with undeveloped, (only started using them recently) was as smooth as it gets from start to finish, they are absolutely worth their 9% and no extra paypal fees either.
My comments above regarding landing page loading times and suggested improvements are simply my desire to have a better overall platform. From my end I actually am happy with just about everything else they offer, but yes would like to see landing speeds increase as well as the issues gtmetrix are highlighting improved as best as possible.
Overall though kudos undeveloped i'm very impressed indeed.
BUT...... thought it was 15% fee there no?
Unless it has changed, on their seller guide it says 9% which is very fair imho.

BTW their seller guide is really helpful!
nicely done
I am sure they are professional enough to appreciate and understand where we come from when we make comments.. and that its not because we're bored or rude.. but because we want things to be better.. there is always room for imrpovmenet everywhere

Typically, I've pushed domains to Undeveloped's holding account which then pushes to the buyer's account. Not specific to the NS pull style account changes but it will likely work similarly I suspectI have some names using your pages, I am curious how does a sale go ahead and work when the domain in question is at NetSol with transfer lock in? I ask this because few of them have bins too and I do believe transfer using pull is a nightmare for end users?
GA is already integrated with Undeveloped. Add you GA ID in the settings pageAlso could we possibly see some type of analytics integration within Undeveloped system giving us more insight on possible traffic?
This essentially is the opposite of a domain push. In the case of NetSol, the buyer (or new registrant) requests a pull of the domain. Then you (seller) does the auth dance. I'm not intimately familiar with the process as I only have read about it but not gone through it practically. Most of my domains sold from NetSol were moved thanks to Afternic's FT.Can someone educate me what a NetSol "pull style" account change is? TIA.
Thanks to @Undeveloped for creating the best domain selling experience ever.
I only recently found something that I think it's easy to implement and gives a better shopping experience. When you enter the Seller's Domain Shop, when filtering by extensions, all extensions appear. Would it not be possible to show only the extensions that said seller owns? I think this could make it easier for buyers to browse the shop
to be clear I really like undeveloped's landers and options to me they are as good as it gets, but I just want improvements. I just tested in chrome incognito two of my domains and it did take around 6 seconds or so to fully load which is much to slow. Also if you test with pingdom from locations such as Australia and the USA it takes much longer than 0.8-2 seconds mentioned above to load, check it yourself.
I am attaching 2 screenshots from gtmetrix from a domain i've currently parked with undeveloped and whatever is said about time to load (it shows around 9 seconds on this check) there are numerous things to improve such as gzip compression, using CDN etc. Also the Performance scores are really bad F- D whereas for example afternic's are rated A - B by gtmetrix.
In short I feel there is more to be done to speed up landing pages by Undeveloped to improve what is an excellent overall product offering.
Hi Manaen,
Good feedback, thanks we'll take it into account.
Hi Joro,
I also read your other posts. Feedback is always welcome and improvements are continuously on our radar.
I can't respond to all messages in duplicate though as I already mentioned in an earlier post that Gmetrix isn't accurate.
I do observe slower load times from Canada as well. If we run tests we see it can go up to 3-4 seconds. This is likely caused by latency as it takes time for the connection to establish and there are ways to solve that and we will. But one step at a time .
Also, trust me when I say that our guys are quite experienced and know better what they're doing than an automated test site like GTMetrix.
PS: Congrats on your first sale with us!
Kind regards,
Reza
I thought about the scheme of interaction between domain owners and brokers. And I drew the following diagram. Perhaps this interaction between the participants of the domain business and the Undeveloped team will help increase sales. What do you think about it?

Hi @Undeveloped

I just sold a name yesterday that is under transfer lock at Register.com. I think it's the first time Undeveloped has had to receive a push there, because Simon seemed to say they just created an escrow account there to deal with this. I can't say I've ever done a push at Register.com either, so I've got my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.
I think most companies make thier fees higher with time.. not the other way round.. lol
thanks.
We're not most companies . At Undeveloped we're executing a long-term roadmap and we're one of the sole innovators in our industry.
Projects like DAN (https://blog.undeveloped.com/dan-project-update-52bd6053b860) will allow us to even push down the commission we'd charge once it's fully operational. Commissionless marketplaces can't exist because we handle all the payment processing hassle. But the commissions can be pushed down when A) the transaction volume keeps growing & B) escrow can be further automated (DAN).
From our point of view, it's more important to subsidize growth than to squeeze our sellers for increased profitability. That's why we decided to drop our commission from 15% to 9% which is extremely competitive considering the service we offer. By following this strategy, we can add more sellers and inventory to accomplish critical mass so we can execute our plans to change the domain industry as we know it today.
There are a couple of extremely high-impact features and services launching soon at Undeveloped. I've attached a short deck that gives hints in terms of where Undeveloped is headed to for more context.
One thing is clear; change is finally & imminently coming to our industry.
If you import your lead it is a plane 5% then!wow 9% is real good!
I use abovecom a lot too.. and there its 10% which I thought was the lowest in industry now.
but 9% is equally good!
good to know!
funny cause I was writing to one of the reps recently some email questions.. and at some point I mentioned that their 15% is prety good and he didn't correct me.. so I didn't think it could be wrong.
I think most companies make thier fees higher with time.. not the other way round.. lol
thanks.
If you import your lead it is a plane 5% then!
This is what the buyer gets after you enter the lead info:thats great. good just got better then!
I imported like 5 recent leads from my bodis inquiries.. so far no action
but since we're on the subject do you or anyone here @Undeveloped know and can tell me:
do you contact or call those leads yourself @Undeveloped or is an automated email created to buyer at the time I enter new lead? if so, what does it say?
ty
I certainly agree you are one of the sole innovators in this industry. That is great to see.
Any chance you will offer fractional ownership of Undeveloped itself to marketplace members or investors in general? Because I do think you have a very bright future.
It's 9%. I sold a name there this month.
