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.

We have offered the discounted BIN success fee of 5% for many years and it's heavily loss making service to us. To achieve the sustainable operations and quality service, this revision is essential.

Hello @DaaZ
Is there any limit to registering .in & .co.in extension?
If yes, how many each of these extensions can be registered.
Thanks.

Hi @DaaZ

It would be useful if instead of the current activated "Lease to Own"-symbol, or near the symbol, the number of activated months was indicated in the private and public portfolio. Something like in the picture. imo

We dont have any restrictions on the number of .in names that can be listed for sale at DaaZ.

We cant speak on the number of domains one can register , to the best of our knowledge .IN registration rules has no such restrictions.
Its not an investment advise, please contact .in registry before taking the investment decisions if any.

Hi, I used DAAZ today, and found 2 problems now.
Am from China, but when I try to buy a domain, I can not find the Wechat Pay, Alipay and Visa, there only have Stripe, Wise and Paypal, can you explain?
2nd problem is when I want to Make Offer, DAAZ requests me to Login in, so buyer need to register an account to proceed? why not like the Buy It Know, just fill the Name Email and Phone number? and then just send the verification code to theri e-mail to confirm? (like Dan)
Thanks

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We truly appreciate your input and we are committed to continuous improvement.

Over the past 5+ years, we’ve successfully closed thousands of domain sales with our current UI, and while we acknowledge that there’s always room for enhancement, we believe the user interface is not a major barrier to our success. Our platform continues to perform well and offers numerous advantages to our buyers and sellers.

We understand that UI preferences vary, especially among domainers who may be comparing DaaZ to other platforms they’ve used in the past. However, we’re proud to say that the feedback from our buyers has been overwhelmingly positive, with very few complaints about the UI over the years.

We remain committed to improving the user experience and will be working on a new UI, set for release in 2025. In the meantime, we appreciate your ongoing support, and we’re dedicated to making DaaZ the best platform for our community.

Thank you again for your feedback and trust in DaaZ.

Hello DaaZ, I sold a domain via your marketplace on 26 November, 2024. The transfer specialist requested that I submit the auth code which I submitted immediately. Since then, the buyer did not initiate a transfer request.

When I asked what was going on, DaaZ said the buyer is not responding to their messages. I asked DaaZ to initiate a transfer and hold the domain until whenever the buyer is ready to take control of it but they don't want to. They want me to wait until whenever the buyer is ready to initiate a transfer before I get paid and the buyer isn't responding to their messages for the past 6 days now.

The name is registered with Network Solutions and it's not under a 60 days lock. Dan.com would have taken the domain on behalf of the buyer and transaction closed in 3 days max.

Please do something, I am tired of the wait already.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and are glad this matter has finally been resolved.

Initially, the buyer planned to transfer the domain to a specific hosting service but has since gone silent. Transferring the domain to a different registrar at this stage could trigger a 60-day lock, potentially upsetting the buyer given their stated preference. Occasionally, buyers may become unavailable due to holidays or other priorities, though this is quite rare.

For domains held at friendly registrars that allow seamless pushes without imposing a lock, we proactively transfer domains from sellers without waiting for explicit buyer instructions. Such cases are rare (less than 2%), but they highlight the occasional challenges in aligning seller expectations with those of buyers.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure smooth transactions for all parties involved.

daaz has by far the best support in this industry

Last week, as an experiment, I moved part of my portfolio to DaaZ landers (Simple theme). And a day later I sold my first domain with them. What can I say. Fast transfer. Fast payout. And probably the best support in this industry, as noted above by other domainers. Just wanted to thank the DaaZ team.
