Hey Folks,

I've just started using squadhelp.com to list some of my brandable. So far I have 76 domains listed, there is no fee to list. I've had some decent action so far in the way of interested buyers but no sales as of yet. I've only been with them for 1 week now.

A bit of a summary review of SquadHelp:

PROS
  • No Listing fee
  • No Logo design fee
  • Ability to submit your names to end users holding naming contests
  • Ability to chat directly or send a message directly to end users.
  • Stats of your marketplace domains are shown in the marketplace dashboard.
  • Their customer service and support has been great, 24hr a day chat.
  • Ability to increase or decrease the list price of your domains or to show a discount. You can decrease or increase the price yourself by $200. If you want to lower more, you can contact support.
  • End users can shortlist your domains before they make a decision on which they want to purchase. The number of shortlists is shown in you marketplace dashboard.
  • When you submit your names you get to set the price you wish to get. Because their commissions are high I recommend listing at a higher price to offset the commission costs.
  • Their landing pages are fairly basic but they work. Because the marketplace is fairly new, I'm sure we will see style improvements in the future.
  • One thing I really like is they accept multiple extensions. I have listed .co and .io along with .com
  • Each seller gets a direct link to their marketplace portfolio, HERES MY PORTFOLIO. It is handy if your trying to p[promote your portfolio through social media.
  • I like that their marketplace doesn't have tens of thousands domain listings like BB. They are fairly strict on the domains they accept to list and so this helps keep the number of domains in the marketplace down and gets your listings more exposure.
CONS
  • Their commissions are very high, depending on the domain name they are usually between 30% and 35%. However, there are no listing fees, no logo design fees, so in the end their commission is very similar to brand buckets.
  • Their logos are not top quality, in fact I requested to have some of my logos remade.
  • I think they have a big backlog of logos to design, the wait time for logo design has been around 1 week, but your names are still listed while the logos are being designed.
  • After your names are accepted you need to agree to their commission rate, at this point you also need to apply your own keywords, descriptions etc. I found this was very time consuming.

Has anyone kept track of the ratio of Views :Time Period of their Atom Portfolio over the last couple of years ?

I was having a good look at my portfolio yesterday and I noticed a clear drop in this ratio.
Thank you very much for sharing your observations.

I'm not using that Atom Premium domains markup file myself. I'm building this on my end with the best-looking price per individual pricing tier. That said, maybe @Atom.com could make this configurable, by enforcing a minimum 10% markup for Afternic, and let sellers choose their preferred rounding/ending (e.g., 99, 95, 88, 50, 00, 500, etc).
I actually did that as well until recently, but was afraid I would miss some updates. Maybe I should start pricing them myself again if Atom cannot give us those options.

By the way, BrandBucket lets sellers choose what numbers domains should end with.

The lander now shows Fast if the domain is not at Atom or Instant if the domain is at Atom. Nice!

That is great, but now when I view a lander on my mobile, these messages and the "Secure transaction" and "Flexible payments" messages are buried below the purchase buttons... Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. And it happens also when selecting LTO on the mobile lander. The buy box then becomes larger and hides other text parts surrounding it.

I guess it never stops with these issues... At least it keeps this thread very active :sneaky:
