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.

Can you please fix this error? I am getting this error every time I try to open the auction page.

One small change that improves buyer perception:
use a lander that actually matches the market you’re selling into.
Aura theme on DaaZ works best for AI, SaaS, and startup-focused domains.

DaaZ Checkout links are converting - please explore the checkout links feature.

Universal Checkout Link
• Every domain now has a permanent checkout link
• No need to generate a custom link each time
• Just copy and share via email, WhatsApp, X, LinkedIn, Namepros - anywhere
• If it results in a sale, seller pays only 4% success fee

This is especially useful several ways e.g sellers can share the link directly to the buyer and request them to checkout.

Instead of directing buyers back and forth or asking them to search again, you can send one clean link and close professionally.

I have to ask (3 cups of coffee didn't help): how can I change casing?

I have to ask (3 cups of coffee didn't help): how can I change casing?

• You cannot change the case (uppercase/lowercase) directly in the UI right now.
• To change the case, you must:
  1. Download your portfolio using the Bulk Update Excel feature
  2. Edit the domain names in Excel (change upper/lowercase as needed)
  3. Upload/sync it back
• Alternatively:
  • You can delete the domains and re-load them
  • Or use an API-based method
• They plan to improve the UI later to allow direct case editing.

They?

Quite an oversight but thanks for the planned improvement.

Posting here, as it's the official thread, though I'm referencing posts made in the other thread.

I think it's a bit much to ask for a brand name to change, as people have said, and no name is ever going to be worse than GoDaddy, but I would say a logo or at least more stylized lettering would go some way to a stronger brand identity.

WRT payouts:

Does (or could) the Transferwise/Wise payout incorporate payments direct to other Transferwise accounts or just via Wire?

It says Bitpay coming in a few weeks, but as the point of crypto was cutting out middlemen (like Bitpay) is it possible to have a direct payout to bitcoin address, like Spaceship?

Failing that, if volatility of bitcoin is an issue, a USDC payout (preferably on SOL) direct to an address?

 

[DaaZ]

Thanks for pointing this out & really appreciate the feedback.

On Branding / Logo​

Fair point. We’ve intentionally kept DaaZ as a clean wordmark rather than introducing a separate icon.

• The name itself acts as the visual identity and watermark
• Focus is on keeping it neutral, clean, and globally usable e.g : stripe branding as an inspiration
• We do continue to refine typography and styling to strengthen the overall brand feel

On Wise (TransferWise) Payouts​

Yes - both options are already supported:

• Wise to Wise transfers (where applicable)
• Wise to local bank accounts across regions and currencies

The goal is to keep payouts fast, cost efficient, and frictionless

On Crypto (BitPay vs Direct)​

You’re right on the philosophy.

BitPay:

• Being introduced mainly for compliance, stability, and accounting simplicity

Direct payouts:

• Direct BTC payouts to wallet addresses are possible in principle and something we are evaluating
• The main considerations are compliance, audit, and avoiding irreversible errors

On USDC / SOL​

Good suggestion.

• USDC payouts are a logical option to handle volatility
• Chains like SOL are attractive due to speed and low fees

This is aligned with where things can evolve, but needs to be introduced carefully from a compliance and operational standpoint

Summary​

• Wise to Wise: supported
• Wise to bank: supported
• Direct crypto payouts: under evaluation
• USDC on low cost chains: strong future direction

Appreciate you raising these - very practical inputs

I am seeing an Nginx error on homepage of DaaZ, is this maintenance or a server upgrade?

I am seeing an Nginx error on homepage of DaaZ, is this maintenance or a server upgrade?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The issue you experienced was due to a brief maintenance activity carried out by the DaaZ team. While the process was intended to be seamless, a minor technical issue caused an Nginx error to appear for some users.

Our team quickly identified the root cause and resolved it immediately. The platform is now fully operational.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and truly appreciate your patience.
