It sounds weird, I've always heard from them relatively quickly, so give it another try - Have you tryed via slack?

Anyone else notice a longer wait time for domain review? im over 6 weeks now...

IMHO. Anything over 1 week, is way too long. To have to wait 6 weeks is ridiculous. IMHO. I'm talking generally, not about BB in particular. They should be adding staff, if they are taking 6 WEEKS to review domains.

Its been 4 to 6 weeks wait for at least 4 years. It’s intentional.

When you are about to submit domain names for review, you can see the expected waiting time there in days, is that accurate?

Yes, currently 35 days.

 

[Charybdis]

Yes, currently 35 days.

I mean when they promise that the waiting time will be 35 days, then is it accurate, will it be really 35 days?

Not 100 percent. I just received reviews yesterday for names I had submitted on March 12. It is a long time to wait, but on the other hand it shows how popular BrandBucket is among sellers.

 

[Charybdis]

The current waiting time is 40-45 days (for sellers, when you submit domains to the marketplace for consideration).

I don't like the fact that published domains are in "editorial" status, and during this status the landing page of the domain is displaying nothing. It creates downtime, the landing page of the domains should work immediately, they could add the description and the logo later.

I think many sellers don't know that now BrandBucket syndicates the domains to Dan and Sedo, and sellers can list the domains on Afternic Fast Transfer.

But this is important, since it means that the BrandBucket marketplace + Afternic Fast Transfer Network + Dan + Sedo will drive traffic to your domains, which is a huge exposure.

This is not true - As soon as you change nameserver BB will display a page for the name with the following text "The domain name xxxx is coming soon on BrandBucket" and with an option to inquire

It's strange, the "inquire" button wasn't working for me, but now it is working (on the coming soon page). I don't know what was the problem, but anyway, it is fixed now. (maybe it was a caching issue, I don't know)

Yes so now I can see that there is the "inquire" button, but I think BrandBucket could display the price and the buy now button as well.

And then they could add later the description and the logo. So I mean it is not optimal that the price and the buy now button is missing during the "editorial" status. Everything should look like a final landing page even during the "editorial" status, just without the logo and the description. And another problem is that the domain is not searchable on the marketplace while it is in the "editorial" status.

Go to BB's slack channel and suggest it

 

[capybara]

I think BrandBucket could display the price

But don't they assign the price only after the review?

 

[wwwulff]

You don`t have to set the NS to BB before the review

 

[Charybdis]

But don't they assign the price only after the review?

Yes price is assigned after the review.
Then you publish the approved domains, at this point the price is set.
After that the domain is in editorial status, while the logo and the description are being made.
So during this editorial status the landing page could display everything (price, buy now button etc.) but the description and logo.

How can I join the Brandbucket Slack channel? I'm on the https://www.brandbucket.com/user/settings/ page, then I click on the "Join Our Slack Seller Channel" link under the "Account Settings" section. But after that I get redirected to https://www.brandbucket.com/user and that's all, nothing happens.

Do I need a Slack account first? Or what to do?

 

[wwwulff]

You can write an email to [email protected] and ask them to add you

 

[Charybdis]

Can you relist a domain on BrandBucket which has been sold before on BrandBucket?
The system doesn't allow me to do it, and the support doesn't respond to my request.

I have submitted two names also but got a reply a month later after listening it to brandmo, is it advisable to consider moving it back to brandbucket again? You suggestion needed.
