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.

so I understand about 100 K .de domains are listed at dan
about 5% are mine

I have heard:
Mike Man owns about 300 K domains and sells about 5 to 10 per day
most of them for huge amounts

so I would expect at least 2 - 10 .de sales for much lower amounts per day
but when I check your homepage showing sales
I very rarely see .de domains sold.

so what is the typical sell-through rate of .de domains at dan?
and what is a median sales price?

mostly I see longer .com domains selling ( most likely selling for xxx USD)
and .nl and .be domains selling

I don't know a way to find about sales prices
can you give some infos here?

Selling .de-s would be better with some german website - German-speaking staff.
I have the same problem with my small country tld-s.

Some buy at English sites also, but best would be the same language sites!
Buyers who contact me directly, I give them the possibility to buy via DAN or the other language site. And I think its almost 100% want to use the local site.

So I think the idea for DAN.COM is to hire and promote that they speak the same language as the buyer. And that transfer help will be in the local language.

Do you plan to update this column at least once per 6h?
Currently it is updated with 24h intervals...

@LaszloSchenk can u check plz if the limit of 500 domains per folio in the public folio link was fixed? i assume it is widespread to all clients bug... not just me .. or not just random accnts... ty.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

This is because Sedo is default marketplace for Germans...
Dan is mostly unknown for them... very low credibility in their eyes...

at what price level?

do you have a BIN set ( which )

do you use the leasing option as default?

Unfortunately, faced my first issue with buyer's payment.

The buyer wanted to buy a domain for $1000, but was unable to pay with Diners card.

The problem was there was no indication of his failed payment anywhere, Dan bot simply kept sending payment reminders to the buyer after his failed attempt to pay.

It was imported lead so I was in touch with the buyer and thus got aware of the issue. I guess in case of regular sales, some buyers will simply give up thus resulting in lost sales.

@LaszloSchenk is there any message at the checkout encouraging buyers to contact Dan support in case of any payment issues, kind of "Are you experiencing any payment issues? Contact our support, we are here to help!"? So people who initially wanted to pay with, say, Diners card, won't give up but try to resolve the issue by contacting Dan support? If no, maybe it makes sense to add such message there.

@LaszloSchenk not sure if brought up already, but due to the min $99 payments, the max period of domains within BIN range $496 - $593 should be limited to 5 months rather than 6, otherwise it looks like they're being overcharged $99 with no mention of it below

Anyone else having some issues with domains that are parked at Dan.com? I tried a couple of domains, but they are not loading.

EDIT: someone else just started another thread with the same issue, so clearly something is not working: https://www.namepros.com/threads/my-dan-landing-pages-not-working-is-it-happening-to-you.1175963/

 

[MarkedMarket]

The issue seems to have been resolved...

I have sold around 81 domains. But it was not there. Please check. Thanks Lazlo.

Good morning,

Could you send me a private message through our chat? I will make sure to verify the account and investigate why the trusted seller mark has not been granted.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

[LaszloSchenk]

I like the Domain Expert idea a,lot however The Domain Expert is of real dubious value with no obvious way of contacting the expert. Why not say you can reach the Expert by clicking on the chat icon and also add to the icon that it is a link to Chat, which is not obvious by looking at it. It appears DAN does not really desire people to know it is a CHAT link but why?.

Good morning Namemarket,

Thank you for the feedback. I will forward it to our product team. However, the statement of DAN.COM not really desiring to have your leads contact our chat does not make sense at all. I am sorry to say, but if you read my previous posts I have explained that the boxes have been introduced in order to inspire trust and make a clear distinction who a lead/buyer is contacting as well as showing which agent is available to serve them.

Do not forget that your leads and buyers are also DAN.COM's leads and buyers.

Good morning Jurgen Wolf,

Thank you for your response.

It is listed with our product team. I am sure that in time we will make it more frequent.

Have a great weekend.

Good morning Alcy,

The product department was made aware of this. As we foremostly focussed on end-users we rarely had users scroll through entire portfolios. However, we understand the need for this. The product team will verify what can be done.

Have a great weekend.

Good morning Kriss05,

All buyers are made aware when there are payment issues present. However, there are some exceptions where the issue is resolving locally. It could involve the buyer's network causing the issue.

Normally when a payment fails the buyer is instantly urged to contact our support or chat. We also have account managers email these users privately within 24 hours in order to secure your payments still.

Please contact me directly through our chat support in order to verify the issue on hand. It often involves card restrictions causing payment to fail.

Best regards,

Good morning Griff,

Thank you for your response.

We have received notice of this confusion and currently look into making this more clear. However, when looking online at all lease options made available the last month always include a significantly lower payment as it is the remainder of the lease to own plan one has to pay.

Have a great weekend.

Good morning Jurgen Wolf,

We have been made aware of this and informed our product team about it. We will have to find a suitable solution for this.
