@CryptoInvestor 1 BB credit is for 1 domain submission, not for accepted listing. Not sure if I get you...

@talking.domains
I know, so I made the account yesterday, had 10 free credits. I made 10 submissions (pending review still) and spent my 10 credits. It showed each domain twice for some reason, I assume thats normal? Anyways, I listed them and it said I spent 20 credits (when I only had 10 free ones) on 20 listings (10 total, each is doubled though). I bought 10 credits today so I could submit 10 more domains, but never recieved them. However, it now says that I spent 20 of my 20 purchased credits, instead of 20 out of 10 purchased credits, as if my newly purchased credits went straight to funding my previous purchase for submitting 10 domains (twice I guess?) That was as clearly as I can explain it unfortunately... is there a reason BrandBucket automatically doubles each domain you submit???

@CryptoInvestor It sounds like a glitch. I think your best bet is to e-mail info at brand bucket dot com and let them know what happened.

 

[DotKing]

It must be some sort of bug that I'm not aware of... one domain submission is 1 credit. You get 10 free credits for new account and it must counts as 10 submissions.. just send email to BB

Hello Everyone,
I was planning on posting this after everything was finalized, but since I am actively engaged in defending BB in another thread I decided to go ahead and put this out there so people don't have misconceptions later.

About two weeks ago I sent in my request to BB to remove my names. I will be officially moved away from them on Jan 17th.

This was not a decision I made lightly, or one that I made out of any dissatisfaction with BB. My experience with them has been a very good one.

In full disclosure - I never exceeded 125 names listed with them, so I was never a big dog or "insider" - but I did manage to make several sales and I am very satisfied with the results and the platform they provided.

I believe BB is a great marketplace with good people at the helm, but the time has come for me to head in a different direction.

I wish for nothing but good things for BB in the future, and would still highly recommend anyone looking to get into the brandable space to give them a try.

and would still highly recommend anyone looking to get into the brandable space to give them a try.

Good luck in the new venture, I hope you do well. Need to be careful here with recommending newbies to this market. I don’t want to pick on you personally, but I disagree with recommending companies who don’t know what they are doing trying to mix house sales, resellers sales and favored resellers all under one roof. Very bad management, IMHO.

So instead of 100 names, so to be successful would you recommend someone gamble with $8000-10,000 to buy 1000 names and get maybe 500 approved (throwing away 500 names and $4000) then to compound the problem only to have them buried deep in the search nobody would locate them since the Brand Ambassadors are rigged to reach the top results? Not only that but 40,000 names to compete with on the entire platform isn’t a good business plan. People are better off creating on Efty their own marketplace and paying no commission.

I removed all, and glad to see other competing marketplaces getting more attention and new ones always cropping up. The best decision I made was to leave this marketplace and never recommend it. A person would have more chance of success finding 1000 decent bitcoin names, lol. SEO BB has is great, but that was built off the backs of all the failed domainers who listed names to sit collecting dust boosted their SERP up using their nameservers.

Btw if anyone NEW and does not believe me and wants “BB approved names” I will push them for free. To qualify you can only have been on Namepros less than 6 months and posted 50 times and have no affiliation with BB nor an existing BB account. First come first served. PM me.

which is good for 10 minutes? :D

This is interesting, but the questions I have are...

- Will BrandBucket be paying the seller (original domain owner) in Bitcoin or will BB immediately convert the Bitcoin to USD and pay the seller in USD via Paypal/Payoneer like they do today?

Typically once a sale occurs, there is a 5-10 day lag from the sale email notification to completing the transfer & then the follow-on payment process. It can take 5 days for the transfer process and then another 5 days for the funds to be available for export.

- I understand the buyer side (which is outlined in the above announcement) but how does this play out for the seller on the receiving side?

@Keith DeBoer - please help with clarification or maybe provide a sample case study for clarity.

Thank you.

 

[Keith DeBoer]

To the best of my knowledge there is no change on the seller side. The seller receives funds in the same amount and manner as before via PayPal or Payoneer. BB is simply providing more payment options on the customer side. The seller is not effected in any way.

 

[BrandCougar]

Thanks @Keith DeBoer - appreciate the feedback and prompt response.

Adding options on the buyer side while maintaining stability and continuity on the seller side makes sense.

Looks like they have a new site design. Very clean, and the focus is now on search/browse. No inventory listed on homepage anymore. Using onHover in the main nav for By Category is one thing that doesn't work well IMO.

Well done and good luck with this BB.

Well done and good luck with this BB.

Their landing pages have also improved (imo)

Better positioning of price and BIN.

The logo for one of my BB names was redesigned. Has this happened to anyone?

What made BB change the logo even though I didn't request a redesign?

 

[DotKing]

Interesting... Is it a higher priced domain? Logo was bad?

What made BB change the logo even though I didn't request a redesign?

Yes, that has happened to me once as well. The original logo wasn't bad at all, so I have no idea why. Maybe someone complained that it violated their logo?

 

[Keith DeBoer]

That's unusual. Usually a redesign is only done for a good reason like something was misspelled or it not readable or something like that. Send an email to [email protected] if you want to find out the reason.

Would either of yall mind posting the domain (or logo) that was redesigned?

Many NP'er's/BB'ers have requested a redesign for good reasons, yet, (I think) they are (or in previous years) were seldomly approved.

How often do re-designs happen for reasons other than somebody complaining that it violates their logo?
