Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
Its taken off while the sale is agreed but if you have no joy getting funds its easy to get it back listed.
Maybe the only way is for them to place a small deposit to remove fake buyers..
I think you either go all out and charge a small fee to weed out all the time wasters or remove the useless binding contract and accept more time wasters but more overall sales and $. For me either option would be better than what it is currently.
I see alot of comments about non paying clients and sold status....
I like how Godaddy/Afternic does things...just like any other shop...You go in and you must pay be that thing is considered sold. At worst, there is a set time where payment must be received.
I'm new to Undeveloped....
Do you guys take payments yourself?
whats your cut%?
Is escrow an option etc?

well domainagents charges like 20$ just ao u can makeoffr ... this can lose many leads too
Sold just 2 names since I joined Undev in April ($1.5k + $2.5k), other were lower offers. And yes, if the buyer has agreed on price payment went thru immediatly. But my portfolio is very small sample so 100% pay ratio is possible here .u mean u never had a buyer who did not pay? on how many sales roughly? cause 100% pay ratio is almost impossibke...on any market...but i do agree it seems to happen more on undev...vs say sedo or gd
One last question: Should I used my real name on the domain name landing pages or a business Alias..?well domainagents charges like 20$ just ao u can makeoffr ... this can lose many leads too

Give us the option to charge a non-refundable fee to avoid the time wasting, fake offers. I keep half and UD keeps half. I too have received more thru UD than anywhere else. This locks my name up for weeks while it shows a sold page with other peoples domains below all the while I am losing other potential offers.
but sales can fail on any platform.. gd.. afternic.. undev.. I think we all had unpaid sales everywhere.. not just undev.
maybe it jut means buyers weren't serious to begin with. in which case if you start charging them upfront a deposit, they'll just never go through with it.
so instead of wasting potential leads.. and charging deposits.. I think its best to leave things as they are.. especially now that undev impleneted ability for seller cancel sale via panel any time he wants..
if ever undev starts charging people to make offer like domainagents, then that'd be the day I leave them.. however, if they want to make this option for some peoople .. and just add option to settings saying "charge buyer [amount] to make offer"... then why not.. they can even let sellers set amounts I guess.. I think its kinda fixed on domain agents..
since its not possible ot please all people.. its best to add options to settings for this stuff..
and in meantime, we can all just move our "sold" undev names to another lander.. bodis or whatnot.. so leads keep coming in if undev fails... of course. makeoffer only.
I agree its nice to have the ability to cancel the sale whenever we want BUT how long do we wait? I've had sales that have taken hours and I've had sales that take the buyer a month to get back and start payment proceedings. Tough decision as to when to cancel that sale though. True, could move the domain to another platform taking inquiries during the wait time to cover one self.

On another note, has anyone read anything or been told anything about the new rental option?
its already there.. as per few posts back.
unless you are refering to news about how bin prices or installement options seem not showing up.. once you have leasing on. I hope this is fixed soon.. cause both instalment options and bins and makeoffers should show too.. when leasing is on.
And how does that differ? I have two sales hanging now, from the same day 8 days ago, one on Undev another on GD, bot still not paid... What's your point?I like how Godaddy/Afternic does things...just like any other shop...You go in and you must pay be that thing is considered sold.
No no. Not to make offer, but to hit BIN, or just after the seller accepts the offer.charging people to make offer
@Undeveloped
I have suggestion, why dont you email customers about new hot domains?
this will increase your sales for sure. Brandbucket do something similar where they send weekly email about latest added domains.
But you need to collect emails of potential customers, you can collect emails from past domain offers through your market place (but you have to put check box for newsletter opt-in).
is an undeveloped listing exclusive,like bb?
So far what I have observed from the reported sales on NP, only $XXX sales happens via undeveloped. Have not seen any big sale coming from there. Anyone else also feeling the same?
I just noticed a Rental option, with a little "R" in the portfolio listing grid. Its a sortable element too. I set up one of my names "for rent" and set it to the price I'd want to rent it for. I also have a BIN (and lease) set for that domain. When I visit the name it only shows the monthly rental price that I set but not a BIN nor any indication that I'd be willing to sell it and "click here to see the price" anywhere. I'd think that would be good to see as well.
is there a way to builk edit the installment option ?
There is no category on @namebio for Undeveloped.com reported sales. Any plans to add that?
But there are Undeveloped.com sales reported on DNJournal, supplied by Undeveloped.com, for example:
http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2018/20180124.htm
As I recall, I read somewhere on Undeveloped.com that sales are not published - can anyone find that exact text? Because it wasn't clear if that is a policy and whether that means sellers or buyers should not publish sales. When Undeveloped.com publish sales, as above, do they seek consent of buyer and seller?
Undeveloped's Privacy Policy may apply:

By comparison, as I recall on Sedo all sales by default are public unless you tell them to not publish your sales (there used to be an account wide setting where you could tell them not to publish all sales, I think now you have to contact them to request that, but it may have changed.)
