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.

Suggestion for DAN 2.0:

On Buy-it-Now listings the "Make Offer" section is mostly hidden and very hard to find. I set a BIN and initially thought the BIN negated an Offer option until did a search.

There is no highlighting around the Offer section, no open field to enter the Price, and it's not a optimal design if you desire a 50/50 BIN/Offer format.

And also the obvious ability to set each domain auction individually, which I'm sure is part of 2.0.

Good morning @DomainRecap,

Thank you for your suggestion. This indeed will be clearer with the launch of Dan 2.0.

Have a great day!

Some people would remember Payoneer canceling dan payouts after reviewing it for a week, that happened to someone I know personally again.

Just sharing it here so that Payoneer users are aware of this, I remember this resulted in global payments services being blocked for few users.

I hope and wish that @DAN.COM integrates Payoneer on an urgent basis, we've been requesting this for some good months now and don't see any update yet.

Maybe @LaszloSchenk you can speak with your contacts in Payoneer and resolve these issues that have arised again after few months.

Okay, after a few deadbeats and false starts, I finally made my first sale on DAN.

Unfortunately, I woke up to an email offer at 6:30-7AM, stumbled out of bed half-asleep and started negotiating, and agreeing on a price, all the while either forgetting that the domain was still under 60-day lock or confusing it with another one that I've owned for a while.

I've never pulled this before (I've pushed on private sales, but never through a venue), but it's certainly not a good way to start the morning...

But after outlining my "I need a time machine" screw-up, the Broker at DAN was very fast, efficient and competent, fixing it all up with the buyer, and allowing me to push the domain to its new owner. The transfer has been confirmed and the money was just paid out, and I was amazed by the speed, especially as this wasn't a fast-transfer .COM, but a ccTLD with a 60-day lock.

You never know how service & support really work until you hit a few snags, and DAN gets a AAA rating from me on this one.

Good morning @UmerK,

Thank you for your post.

I am personally not involved in this but I will relay your message to the appropriate colleagues within Dan. We have been working hard on many new developments that are bound to be released shortly. That being said, we are working on the integration still!

Have a great weekend ahead.

Hi,

I noticed today that if I go to my domain name pointed at Dan nameservers, my anti-virus Bitdefender treats the webpage as a threat.

Why are DAN nameservers listed as a threat with Bitdefender?

Same here today - I use Bitdefender also and am getting threat messages when I try to view domains with Dan. Can we have an update on this issue as bitdefender is widely used and I don't want visitors to get this message. Thanks

 

[DomainRecap]

Got a weird email from DAN this morning and it essentially stated:

"The $X,XXX offer you received on DOMAIN has expired."

That's all well and good, but there was never an option to accept it after I countered (and we sent several messages back and forth), so what is the use of the email? Is there a "secret method" of accepting these old offers?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Yes, really annoying notifications.
Only on DAN such behaviour.

p.s. To prevent them: firstly deny the buyer's bid, then counter.

Thanks and I've been doing that recently, as it seems to clean up a lot of stuff.

Good morning @devo,

Thank you for notifying us.

Could you send me one private email with a domain that is inflicted when visited?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Good morning @DomainRecap,

Could you let me know which domain was involved? When a counter offer is submitted through our system (not written in text) the notification of an offer expiring should not be submitted.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

It is not true, counteroffer has no any effect, I had this issue a few times.
The incoming bid must be denied - only then your system doesn't send these Expired notifications.

 

[UmerK]

@LaszloSchenk any update on Payoneer issue?

I don't want to risk my payoneer account being limited.

PS any ETA on payoneer integration?

Based on public data, Dan.com seems to be already bigger in the US than Sedo:

Show attachment 193838

We seem to get close to what we call the "Flippening" where Dan.com officially attracts more unique visitors to its public marketplace than Sedo.

So let's play a game! The Namepros user that guesses the month when Dan.com for the first time attracts more unique visitors overall than Sedo according to Similarweb wins a $500 prize!

The rules are simple, simply mention the month and year (for example September 2021) in this thread and no duplicate guesses are allowed by different NPers so get your guess in fast!

Good luck!

I'll believe this when I start getting offers ..never mind sales..directly from yer .market without yer lander page...

since u exist and so far now it is not happening. not for me..with many names..that do get offers and sales in this way from sedo..and even more from gd..

really it's like yer market didnt even exist.. it is terrible

I had bit more action with yer landers.. but really I only can praise your add lead option to finalize deals.. its too bad u fail and lack in all other areas.

there is always the future. so I hope for best..but so far it is basically like your market does not exist.

Sedo without parking is (very) weak as well in terms of enduser sales.
But significantly better if you prefer domainer-to-domainer transactions.

 

[xeroox]

When will be released dan 2.0? it was said few days on twitter and it's been a week and more

I was about to ask the same. ty @DAN.COM

IMO, the only marketplace to provide a lot of inherent buyer traffic is GoDaddy, or Afternic (which links to GD) if you don't list on GoDaddy.

Everywhere else is highly dependent on you forwarding traffic there.
