@phaethon have a URL of a domain name that's on there that NOT via name servers? Eg: forwarding URL such as afternic.com/domain.com or something that shows the BIN landers?

 

[phaethon]

@Jurgen, I'm kind of newbie, haha, not sure if say it right, please explain to Matt. Thanks

I mean when someone "clicks here to inquire" to show the BIN Afternic option (NS5,NS6), not the Make Offer (NS3, NS4) or to have both Afternic options.

I don't see such problems, my setup:
Email confirmation: ON
Captcha: OFF

yeah..well I went back to bodis with email confirm on..no more spam... but I fear many genuine people wont do the email confirm.. not realizing they need to..forgetting etc..which is why I never used it in 1st place... oh well I think it's still better than having to add every new name to both bodis...then dan..

I don't use Afternic/GoDaddy, and their destiny doesn't matter for me.

Soon you'll have a way to see all inquiries + the unconfirmed ones.

Hello @alcy,

Yes, we are hoping to provide this ability with the new domain inquiry/communication system. We don't have a timeline for this implementation yet, but this is high on our priority list.

Thanks.

[Jurgen Wolf]

Still unreliable 3rd-party SMTP (like Amazon) for this confirmation or your own SMTP?

@TroyBodis, with regards to bots. Based on the Bodis data, could you give an estimate how much bot traffic a Bodis account receives on average? Please be as specific as possible, for example 20%, 30% of visits?

 

[TroyBodis]

Hello @phaethon,

We do not believe this number to be greater than 3-5% on average. But this number can vary based on traffic sources.

However, we are already taking additional measures right now to track these bot requests, so that we can ensure our reporting stats are as accurate as possible.

Thanks.

It was recommended 2+ years ago: https://www.namepros.com/threads/bodis.484866/page-220#post-7366831

Hey guys, from your experience, which marketplace would you recommend as most and least effective option and why on Bodis Domain Settings?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

If you park on Bodis - use just Inquiry form, negotiate, and then any suitable escrow service...

 

[phaethon]

I currently use the GoDaddy auctions option that has a BIN and a 60% of BIN make offer option, thinking I would set the BIN a bit higher and accept the 60% of BIN buyer's offer.
Have you Jurgen or anyone tried it?
I prefer to use a trusted brand like GoDaddy than myself, as I'm new in the field (5-6 months) and still learning the ropes. I'm mostly selling in the xxx range. Hopefully, I have good experience in retail and market research from my main job and learning fast i think. Still, I must sell something haha

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

As I already said, I don't use GoDaddy/Afternic/Uniregistry.
No my domains there. And even accounts removed.

May I ask why?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

May I ask why?

Because.
I'm enough of their awful service, and their recent activity on NP was the last drop.

 

[phaethon]

You are more experienced, but every time I had to contact them over the last months, they have been very polite and helpful.
Don't know, maybe you should give them a second chance.
However, I haven't dealt with them in terms of sales or register names. Mostly, to remove old listings or about trademarks or names stuck in review. They have some newbies on board that learning, especially when taking about trademarks.
What they said was not accurate, I would say.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Already enough of my time and nerves since 2008.
Thanks.
NoDaddy.

Which percent of sales do you make with them ?
