BrandBucket Experience

[xtremex]

hello

I am new to BrandBucket. Before getting my hands on this

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

 

[trelgor]

Works fine

Ups, it happened again. For example, please see gigacare.com - I had a problem just now.

@Nerevar -

I just typed in gigacare(dot)com and got the new BrandBucket sales display without a problem.

- Do you have access to another computer locally to test?

- What OS version do you have on your computer? (I tested on Win 7)

I hope the feedback is helpful...

-Jim


ps: Oh wait... Norton "Safe Search" does show a problem. It says "This site is SUSPECT" and "Norton Rating: CAUTION". Also, when I type gigacare(dot)com into the Google Search, Norton flags it with caution. Curious, did you recently acquire the name? What is the history (prior use) of the domain? Not sure if that is the issue, but might be worth looking into. Also, you might want to send a screen shot to BrandBucket support.

I admit I didn't do a domain name search when I checked the domain earlier on so it *could* be that the problem lies on the name itself and not on the IP address.

But, isn't it strange to get the same error on multiple domains? Nerevar mentioned that this happened on many domains and not just one.

I agree, best thing to do is to contact BB support

@Nerevar -

I clicked on "Full Safe Web Report" button that is provided and got the following extra info.

The report mentions "Drive-By Downloads" as the reason for the flag. You might want to share this trigger with the BrandBucket team as they may not be aware of the flag and might appreciate the heads-up.

Let me know if you have another published name on BB using that uses the new display and I'll see if I get the same results for that name.

Hope the info is helpful...

The name was a recent drop. I am sure I had the same problems with more domains yesterday, but today only this one remains. I am on Windows 7, fully updated. Another pc in my household that uses free Avast! also has this problem. I run AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, this did not help.

Has anyone else ever noticed that they have had a domain name rejected by brandbucket only to find something 1 character different that was registered by brandbucket themselves right after rejecting yours in review?

I submitted e b u l a n c e (play on ebullience + freelance) on Feb 25 that was rejected only to now find that e m u l a n c e is now live with a March 29 reg and owned by brandbucket.

Their description for their new name idea is spot on too. "A prestigious name inspired by 'emulate', meaning to copy"

I also did notice that in the past and it did annoy me BUT, to be fair, it's their marketplace and if they think that they can sell a domain slightly different than ours that they can bring them profit then we can't really do anything other than avoid giving them our names to sell.

Since they own and sell domains, BB is both a marketplace *and* a competitor. Don't forget that they started as a place to sell *their* names and not as a pure marketplace like, eg. SEDO.

I guess this is part of the game, no matter if we like it or not.

There is always a lot of borrowing in any creative industry. I've gotten lots of ideas for names from those already published on BB. So sometimes it's intentional and sometimes it is completely unconscious ie something sticks in your mind and comes up as an idea weeks later and you don't recognize the source. This happens all the time in music. I can't imagine BB would reject a name just so they could register and publish their own version. At the same time I understand your frustration.

If you have any other specific questions, please ask.

Thanks,
Michael

Can you let us know the timescale for the next batch of reviews please Michael? There are plenty of us with domains submitted on the 10th March that have not yet been reviewed.

Just had a name submitted on the 11th March reviewed and approved, thank you :D

 

[Keith DeBoer]

Me too, both March 10th and 11th reviewed so far.

 

[DKN]

My March 15th submission is still in queue.

Ahh...

So they just sent out their "New Listings" email, and it's too long to display fully in Gmail. You get:

[Message clipped] View entire message

Sucks when your name is tucked in under the fold. They need to optimize for this better.

 

[Beezy]

The list is really impressive though. They are killing it.

Well they are killing it only if they are selling it , otherwise increasing the market place so fast is not good for our business. Also recent discussion on rejected and the approved names under different owner does not bring good light on the company ethic and trustability. I wish the process would be more transparent and of course faster.

Otherwise I have to say I am happy to say that the support after the domain sold is professional and even though there were some delays on buyers part, the team handled the situation well to finalize the sale.

So now I can announce my fist successful flip with BB.

Good luck to you all.

Quality declining? How? Goes against the official policy of being a "curated" and browsable marketplace, if true.

Well, the quality issue is rather subjective one, but since they increase number of names listed about 8 times in less then a year the range of accepted domains gets wider. Also .... as it was posted before now they are reconsidering rejected domains .... which is rather questionable under specific conditions.
