Got an email from Domain Agents today for my domain WhoaList (in king)

how does this work? seems like someone is interested in it and DomainAgents is contacting me.

are they a scam? to get me to register for their service with the "hope" that I might have a sale?

I've never seen this before. I get this feeling there is no buyer. and hey just want me to sign up for whatever service they have.

No real cons I can think of. Its a really good system.

why haven't I heard of these guys before?

I had never heard of them or used them before I had the first offer from them.

Now they are one of the marketplaces I list all my domains at.

They are a real marketplace now too.

First they were just brokers, but last year they launched their marketplace.

They improve things all the time.

The marketplace started off kind of slow, but now it is just like the others we all use.

It can't hurt to list your domains there.

hmmmm definitely a great way to weed out "tire kickers".

people who pay are almost always interested because that $20 has them "vested" in their action.

great concept.

but the bottomline is. does this system net good profit? or is it the same as with any other system? people are cheap all around?

The buyer pays to make an offer and also pays the escrow fees, so it costs you nothing to go for it.

hmmm missed that. (just woke up. eye crispies got in the way lol)

say whaaaaaaaa??? that's a twist! lol but I gotta register right? right now talking to them via email.

I took a quick look at the offer on your domain. This was actually a 'free' offer that didn't require the buyer to buy a credit. We're testing this with one of our registrar partners to make sure it converts (ie buyer follows through etc). If you have your domain listed for sale on our or another marketplace and the buyer comes from the registrar we're testing with, the buyer has the option to make an offer without buying a credit. They are still responsible for paying the commission and escrow fees should you reach a deal with them.

So there isn't a payout on this offer, but yes, on 90% of the offers we send out we offer the domain seller $10 as long as they at least make a counter offer.

I didn't bother with the $10 payment to me, as there didn't seem to be a viable way to collect it.

Perhaps it would be worth offering a range of payment methods - Bitcoin, GoDaddy credit, Payoneer or something like that. Many of us won't go near PayPal as we don't trust them.

I just take the credit as I feel the same about PayPal.

Whoa! (LOL) Did not expect a visit from DomainAgents! Welcome! It's ok I didn't really have my "hopes" up for the $10 but it's good to know there's a "chance" for it.

Thanks! Did you get my counter offer? Please PM thanks.

@Avtar629

If they are a legit company which it seems they are perhaps you might want to consider asking a mod to remove the word "scam" from the title. It would be decent of you since all threads are indexed by Google.

Just my opinion.

Try "report" your own first post and leave a message. Not sure if they will definitely edit it, but there's no harm in asking.

I am sure they will they are pretty good about taking care of things like that.

True True. not my intention. but the word Scam is an eyecatcher. just wanted more replies. if any. not here to bash any company that's legit as this one seems to be based on the posts here.

but you know there ARE alot of shady companies from not so reputable areas of the world where you can't know who you are dealing with and from where.

the internet after all is global.

I do remember reading posts here that start like...

"did anyone gets spam spam from....."
or
"have you been offer a domain service?"

It might be courteous in future if you first ask "has anyone had any experience with XXXXX?"... you will earn more respect that way... which I'm sure you do care about to at least some degree?

Adding "scam?" as an "eyecatcher" to a company name is potentially slander.

Just my opinion.

nice! Apologies Domain Agents! as I have been informed by NP that the word Scam can't be deleted from this.

Anyone reading this. I am convinced and happy to say DomainAgents is Legit and not a scam. Thanks.
