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.

1. Don't want buyer to know how many sales I had and how many offers, My poor ratio is a negative.

2. I do like the domain expert a lot but see no obvious way to contact or call the expert. So a dubious value.

3. And the biggest negative is don't see any way a buyer can first look at financing options as a sales tool I can use to help him decide to buy with a pre-selected financing term and the payment plan from 1 to 5-years.

4. Worse yet, did not see a way to make an offer, only buy at BIN with terms selected after clicking buy. In fact, did not see a way to submit an offer on that page, just buy at BIN price.

1 - 4 spot on

(feedback and the questions are very important for continuous improvement)

Worse yet, did not see a way to make an offer, only buy at BIN with terms selected after clicking buy. In fact, did not see a way to submit an offer on that page, just buy at BIN price. A huge negative for me.

100% argee the BIN STILL NEEDS the MAKE OFFER with/& or Below it!

It's to powerful and creates dialog to leave Make offer out!

Such as this, this Lander has NAILED IT! (Desktop view looks flawless on this one) with The Options



I will not post the Serivce as I want to keep this DAN thread on DAN! But please take a look @DAN.COM



Note ( Mobile & desktop version look different) but this set up on is money and if Dan had the make offer /with BIN and also a contact buyer button .....there’d be nothing left for I to ask for from dan


Basically If Make Offer is Added to the BIN window - I’d be a happy camper ...I mean Dan’er

Looks great.

Domain seller box, let us choose what to display between these 4 currently rotating

-trusted seller
-responds within
-offers received
-sales made

Would be great.

The new lease option sounds very good but I don't plan to enable it until glitches or undesirable features are gone.

I absolutely do not want my number of domains, sales data, or alleged online status displayed. No one asked me if I did or asked me to consent to that. Other platforms do not do that.

Does online status refer to time of last login, or time of last click while logged in? How long is the login period now before forced logout? Dan.com so far has kept me logged in for days at a time.

Thanks again for the improvements, far ahead of the pack here.

Also showing typical seller response time is not a good idea. Some replies take time to consider, other times it makes sense to keep people waiting to avoid seeming desperate, other times research into the buyer is needed, other times details of the listing of the same domain on other platforms need adjusting before replying. And some of us do sleep.

This seems to be part of the whole overpromising mentality where everything is allegedly instant, except support and weekend transfers.

I have found Dan.com support to be responsive and good - so will you be publishing typical response times for Dan.com support and staff? And for transfers?

Agreed. These needs to be taken off, and the link to the profile , not necessary.

You can disable link to profile in the privacy settings.

 

[Abdillahi Abdillahi]

Also number of domains sold. These three things, the link, the response, the number of sales, should all be removed or made optional so each seller can set his preferred settings. Online status can be good if only the buyer will have a option of instantly communicating with the seller, if not, I am not sure it will help the buyer.

I had that set and it was still showing a link, I removed the tick then did it, now it is not linking to the domains, the username is being normal. Other members also mentioned it being like this. So yes, it works. Now we need to sort out the two other issues.

Our product team has spent countless hours carefully designing our new Lease to Own model. We’ve extensively tested, experimented & conducted product development with buyers to create a highly optimized solution for buyers and sellers on the secondary market.

Now you guys("Experts") in the forum all know what's better
Jokers.

Now, let's wait a little and test this landers.

 

[frank-germany]

the minimum price for the lease to own option is 495 €

I would like to be able to use it for smaller installments as well

like 380 € min price

I think the member registration/join date is not needed too.

This "start from $10000 per month" makes the domain look much more expensive than it really is. It needs to offer something significantly less than total per month to be appealing...

Good morning Don Gondon,

Thank you for notifying us. We have isolated the issue and made sure to resolve it.

Have a great day!

@DAN.COM @LaszloSchenk

new landing page shows, Domain Seller as online or offline. Does it mean that if the domain seller is online and the buyer clicks on it , he/she can chat with him/her ? Otherwise there is no use of showing the seller as online/offline.

When I click on it, it doesnt open any chat window

Good morning Harshgupta,

The landing page shows if the domain seller is online or offline in order to increase customer engagement. A lead is easily tempted to submit an offer for a specific domain when noticing the owner is actually present and able to reply to the offer fast. It does not open a separate chat window, however.

Have a great day!

Good morning Frank-germany,

As indicated by Reza we currently have to impose a minimum of $99 due to high payment and domain transfer processing fees. As we find more efficient ways to handle “micro” payments, the minimum amount will likely decrease to $10-$20 / month.

Have a great day!

 

[LaszloSchenk]

1750 ”brand package” logos are missing for me. What’s up with that? @LaszloSchenk

Good morning Trelgor,

Please reach out to me directly through [email protected] or our chat. I would need some additional information in order to have our team investigate the matter.

 

[LaszloSchenk]

@Dan please allow option to have DAN "domain expert" removed from landing page. No reason for it to be there and sets tone with buyer that this is who is on the other end that they are dealing with.

Good morning SuperNames,

We have added these sections based on extensive customer research. As you all know, trust is a high impacting factor within this industry. The "domain owner" box showing all details is added in order to ensure the trust is actually strengthened. In addition, the "domain expert" box is added for the very same reason. As you all know, our account managers and support deal with your buyers continuously. One returning aspect is that these buyers value knowing who they deal with and who is taking care of them during their purchase. I understand you might assume it could be distracting but on the contrary, it results in your buyers committing to paying faster.

We are confident that the changes we have imposed will only positively influence our users results with DAN.COM.

 

[LaszloSchenk]

https://dan.com/users/settings/for_sale - on this page in the "Meet the seller" section from the beginning of my Undeveloped usage - I have set "Don't show anything".
But since today they display publicly on my landers how many domains I sold and my online/offline status...
In other words - my privacy was ignored.

Good morning Jurgen Wolf,

We have isolated this issue as well. It has been resolved and will not resolve in your profile from here on out.

Have a great day!

 

[LaszloSchenk]

I managed to discover that the logos are hidden under the lease to own form. Show attachment 142360
Would it be too much to ask to have the logo replace the domain name on top? It would seem natural. I know you say logos can be detrimental. Mine are not, and they cost both time, effort and money.

Also, I don’t quite like the color scheme here. Blue and green like that. More options coming?

Also, some weird lines on top there, see them? On an Iphone.

Another thing. Less is more. Do you really need the explanation of what is included right there? (Domain + logo). I think it would be cleaner and more direct without or presented at another place/stage.

About ”domain expert”. Suggestion: ”Domain transfer concierge” or something like that.

Great that you have tested conversion rate projections. I think sellers would have had nothing against being included in the beta testing though, you would have found more improvements at no extra cost. Think about that next time.

Good morning Trelgor,

You can select three different colors for your background image in this case. Regardless, I will forward your remarks to our product team. In addition, I will notify them that the logo on mobile seems to disappear under the lease to own form.

Have a great day!
