DAN.COM Domain Marketplace (Official Thread)

[DAN.COM]

DAN.COM (formerly known as Undeveloped.com) is on a path to be become the biggest domain marketplace in the world. We use state of the art technology to solve everyday problems buyers and sellers in the domain industry face. At DAN.COM we focus on automating most processes required to buy & sell domains to increase a more efficient and active secondary market for domains.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on product development and customer satisfaction. We leave nothing to chance and every single feature and element we introduce is professionally and carefully designed and built.

DAN.COM is ranked in the top 5 best-rated marketplaces in the world (According to the biggest review platform Trustpilot) and in the domain industry, we're the domain marketplace with the highest rating with an average of 9,4 out of 10 points.

At DAN.COM you will get the highest value for the lowest commission around. Due to our domain transfer automation, we can offer significantly faster handling of domain transactions and payouts (usually within 24 hours) at the lowest fee charged by any domain marketplace.

We've been the first on many fronts and proudly will continue to keep innovating. We were the first to offer optimized for sale pages since 2013, the first to provide payment plans in the form of lease to own and rentals and also the first and only domain marketplace offering free SSL on all domains parked with us for over a year now.

The better idea - just internal DAN balance...
And then withdrawal of necessary amount via preferred method.

p.s. Payoneer is like PayPal - your account and money can be blocked at any time.

I agree I was a bit confusing with my reply and I had edited it to reflect what I meant. As DAN doesnt support fund management inside it and as someone else mentioned He got three separate wire transfers sent simultaneously from DAN, payoneer can be an alternate where one can get multiple payouts from DAN to payoneer, then a single wire transfer from payoneer to Bank.

It was me who mentioned those three wire transfers.

OK, your suggestion is basically a workaround. I personally not a big fan of Payoneer due to their greedy commissions (when you use Payoneer card).

Either way, internal balance is what we need. You can then use whatever payout method suits you best. IMO

I wholeheartedly agree with you both. If DAN can implement Internal balance than its gold for both us and DAN too. It might turn some sellers as buyers as some of us might invest some portion of our funds in expanding our portfolios, which infact will double the commisions for DAN.

I’m still finding domains i emailed to be added not added up to a week lasted this needs to be corrected

They stopped getting my emails for a couple of months already. Now with every not added bunch of domains i need to go to the chat. My guess it's some oversmart spam filter at their side or whatever. And they are not going to do anything with that. The only thing that really pisses me off in DAN.

When you send them a bunch of domains to add, do you submit any proof of ownership?

I only use their “live” chat for this purpose and it always takes maximum 24 hours (also on weekends). I do send screenshots to prove I’m the new owner.

I hope @DAN.COM will implement something similar to Sedo’s TXT verification.

Let’s not confuse DAN marketplace (which has almost nonexistent buyer traffic and sales, especially compared to something like Afternic or Sedo)

and what everyone is talking about in this thread, which is parking your domains at DAN and using their landing pages, where any resultant traffic has absolutely nothing to do with DAN.

I always use their contact form to inform them that I am the new owner of the domains. They add it to my portfolio. Have never been asked to prove ownership uptil now for 100s of domains I must have requested them to add.

Yes one has to see the benefits and what they are actually using a service for. I think if you like the landing pages better and 9% commission, installment plans, things where I personally believe DAN is far superior to Sedo.

For Sedo they are a marketplace with a lot of people checking the place out daily and have traffic and brokers. They have far more traffic of potential buyers compared to DAN.

People keep moving around thinking there is some magic pill, the magic pill is to own good to very good to great domain names. No application is going to help you sell LibraCBDStadia.com

I just did it automatically at DAN and Afternic. And some time ago the Afternic team told me they don't need any proof, so I stopped doing that. Based on your comments alone I should stop sending screenshots at DAN too

@DAN.COM Can you confirm what's the best approach for the above? Does proof of ownership speed up anything?

Not applicable to what I discuss here. I only use DAN for transaction processing and domain ownership change since I can't use Escrow.com any longer.

And even when I used Escrow.com, I preferred DAN (and Epik) for selling low $x,xxx domains in installments. Escrow.com is expensive for that.

I used to have alot of sales from dan.com this years, but in the last about 3 or 4 weeks, it's very rare.

I wonder is it because new payment system or what since i think the landing page is the same. Or is it just i got unlucky. But it is very strange that if you got good sales in 11 months in a row but not for the last 1 month.

I got about 5 offer that i accepted but no one that paid.

same for me

I wonder if the rebranding to dan.com affects the sales

they had just made a name for the brand "underveloped" and established some trust
and now its called dan.com and the brand "undeveloped" is disappearing

maybe thats a problem

I'd love to test the old version versus the new version

 

[Anna_M]

"Undeveloped" was such a clever choice, 'dan' is a pity

 

[DotKing]

Just sold name via Dan, they paid me same day and got money next day with international wire. Fastest transaction on Dan ever. It usually takes 3-5 days with wire payment.
It's really hard to beat such a smooth experience.

I don't think that's the reason, actually my sales increase after it become dan.com, but not for the last months.

FYI @DAN.COM - If using an ad blocker extension in browser, the DAN "chat" feature/icon does not show up on the domain sale page. When the ad blocker (tested w/ AdGuard) extension is disabled, the chat feature shows up. Might want to change the code for the chat so that it is not affected by ad blockers?

Feature suggestion for dan.com user settings > Let us create different description templates so we can easily bulk edit descriptions for domains in portfolio rather than each one manually. And use some sort of shortcode for the domain so domain will automatically show correct for each description... aka... "[domain] is listed for sale! Make an offer or buy it now. etc.".

Also, is there a way we can remove the DAN.com references in the page source meta <title> and <description> ? If not would be nice if that were an option. Seem fair for a 15% commission...

Commission on DAN.com is 9%. If you bring your own lead the commission is 5%.

@DAN.COM - I have USD set as my preferred currency in profile settings, but the currency on the domain portfolio is showing Euro in the search filter. Not a huge deal, but would be ideal if domain search filter showed the preferred currency of the seller.
