DaaZ.com Domain Marketplace (Official Thread)

[DaaZ]

DaaZ.com is a premium domain names marketplace owned by DaaZ Limited, London (UK).

Key vision of DaaZ.com is helping buyers and sellers to transact with each other in a trusted way.

DaaZ.com key focus is end user focused sales and we have been operational since August 2019 and we have made a quite good progress and supported few thousands buyers buying domains via DaaZ and also having around 800+ sellers offering their inventory for sale. We have registered buyer base of 4000+ buyers.

It may not be lot in terms of numbers, we are the youngest marketplace (without any registrar presence). We have made a good reputation and able to build the traction.

How we are different ?

We may not be too different at moment, we are sharing what we believe is our core offerings:

• We have developed a platform which is having a very good buyers interface, specially helping wholesale or repeated buyers securing domain names.
• We allow the listings for free, it's open for all sellers (aka domainers) and support 1400+ domain extensions
• Sellers can run any time auctions. This feature help for regular cash-flow needed by the sellers. (Disclaimer: At present very few end users participate into these auctions, mostly domainers / resellers winning the names )
• Lowest Success Fee: Our success fee is 8% (with chargeback protection included) is the lowest in the industry offered by any domain name marketplace.
• We pay to the sellers via PayPal / Wire transfers. No PayPal withdrawal or pay-out fees, all fees covered by DaaZ with in 8% success fee (In short, no indirect fees)
• We offer live chat support round the clock (Although we are not officially 24/7, we are offering near 24/7 support). We look after our buyers and sellers with great attention.
• We love automation of the processes; however we do believe the human interaction with the buyers makes a lot of difference. So, we automated what we believe is required to automate and we kept those human interactions with the buyers or sellers where we believe is required to be in place

We are open to listening to our buyers and sellers and improve the platform every month. We are making two improvement releases a month to fix the product related issues and also bringing new features.

We believe our customers are our gods and we help them in all possible means we can. That's clearly reflecting in our customer reviews, we are proud to share we are a new market place however according to Trustpilot we have secured the highest customer trust among all domain name market places in 2020 with 4.9 trust rating : https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/daaz.com

What we believe we need to improve ?

We believe a platform will be never perfect and has to continue to listen to our customers and deliver a platform of their choice. So, we have a clear outlined process to receive the feedback and handle the product improvements effectively

• We are relatively a young platform, so we have a lot of room to improve on number of features and catch-up, we are addressing the backlog with a lot of passion
• We are aware that we need to bring the installment plan, rent to own features, also a powerful API to help the bulk sellers. We have clearly these features in our product road-map for 2021.
• We have a lot more innovative ideas not attempted by any other marketplace, we are focusing to address the industry standard offerings first before moving on delivering these innovative ideas to help the domain investors / sellers
• We also record every suggestion given by our buyers and sellers, we analyse the feedback, and all the appropriate feedback is getting added to backlog
• Our road-map is ready for next 5 years and we will do everything possible to help to improve the standards of domain name marketplace

We love to listen to the NamePros community hence we are setting up this Official thread.

Also, I'm using the simple theme and there are logos for payments (image below) but I see that you also accept After Pay, Clearpay and Klarma so please add those logos to the landing page too

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for considering the feedbak.

I'm sure that the addition of After Pay, Clearpay and Klarma to the image would be positive

I think the "i" link is not very noticeable. The best option I think would be the addition of the mentioned options to the image and at the end to put as link "and more" (in case of more for a complete list)

Thank you for the feedback, certainly we will value your feedback. We will let you know the decision of the team soon, once agreed as a TEAM , we will make the proposed change quickly.

@DaaZ

Thank you for considering the feedback

I have more:

1- After revoking my counter offer I was specting to accept the lastest offer from buyer but the option was not available. My sugestion is that if we revoke our counter offer we should be able to accept the lastest offer from buyer

2- It seems there is no way to receive and send messages without making an offer/counter offer. If possible, consider the option to send and receive messages also without offer

3- The last time I tried to verify the owership using the TXT it didnt work, I had to contact support, see if there is somthing to fix

Hi @DaaZ

More feedback for you to consider

1- Better don't add decimals to offers/counter offers as they make look the counter offers as bigger numbers

2- Today I was checking some of my domains and the second time I checked one of them I got a cloudflare page. See if they are too sensitive

2- My suggestion is that better don't automatically open a chat support on the landing pages as it covers part of the most essential part of the page. I think a friendly and noticeable support icon would be enough ( image with examples below )

Thanks!

We have changed the "Live Chat" one to show the below. Now the chat pop-out won't appear automatically , it will only open when the buyer or seller clicked on that chat icon.

It would be great if you can elaborate where the decimals are showing. It help me to get this fixed ASAP.

Hi,

Clarification:

For example, let's say I make a counter offer of 500, it shows as 500.00. While they are only zeros ( the .00 ending ) it's unecessary.

Our team agreed to fix this one, likely this one will be fixed in Feb release ( approximated estimated resolution time 15th Feb )

£25,000 (daaz) versus £2,553 (namecheap).

That's quite a difference.

Hi,

I've noticed that the message that appears has a broken image. Honestly it doesn't look well. Better if you fix it

Thanks

Now that GoDaddy is, in effect, killing Afternic, are you prepared for an inrush of new customers? This is your golden opportunity, handed to you by GoDaddy's corporate blunder.

Answer: unregistered registry premium

Good that you spotted this, which appears to have been deleted since your posting. Daaz does seem to quickly act on removing any inappropriate listings. This is another example where upfront domain ownership verification would be helpful!

Are you doing business without restrictions in India? In other words, in India, no High Court or Ministry order for ISP-blocking of your marketplace?

We are clean on that part. No issues with any geography or location.
DaaZ is serving customers (buyers and sellers) from 70+ countries.

That's great to know. It's still unclear whether some marketplaces do have an ISP ban in India. Since you clearly don't, that gives you an advantage if others are constrained.

And are there now any plans to introduce ownership verification upfront for listings?
