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.

gettin' hit hard

Reported this and they said it's surprising cause it doesn't appear at them.

That is strange. On Twitter DAN says that a heavy DDoS attack is going on for 48 hours already.

Why don't they inform their own helpdesk about it?

Despite using their landers Dan is the worst performing marketplace for me. I received only 2 offers in the last 1 year.

Current message on dan.com is SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG.

I guess DAN engineers are reconfiguring their servers, and wish them good luck.

How about more informative stats for your volume?
What share of $XXX sales in %?
$1K-5K sales?
Above $5K?

p.s. In the past: ~50% of Sedo sales were under $500.
I guess, nowadays their share is even higher.

And what sales volume of regular domainers?
In other words, excluding parties like HugeDomains, Registries etc.

I'm looking for something on Dan.com that I can't find. If it exists I'm sure someone here can tell me, and if not, I'd suggest Dan.com look at adding it.

Is there a public facing instalment calculator? In other words, can a non-logged in user, or a prospective buyer, go to Dan.com and see what payments could be for a price or timescale they input?

When a domain is listed at fixed price, anyone visiting the page can use the slider to see what the monthly payments would be for timescales of their choice. But not if a fixed price is not shown, afaik. What if a prospective buyer knows their monthly budget and wants to know what price they should offer to match that budget?

This isn't hypothetical - did sell a domain on instalments to someone who made an offer, since I told them in messaging that they could pay monthly, and they doubled their offer. If you close a deal that way, Dan will change the domain over to payment in instalments when you ask them to. I just want they buyer to be able to do the calculations themself before making an offer.

I would like to know
how many of us would like to cover the 1% or 2% ourselves,
but don't like our buyers seeing the difference ?

It seems that the difference only appears for BIN pay,
not for installment pay,
so this is just for saving cost for Dan?

If I would like to pay 11% commision for BIN sale,
Dan should not charge my buyers 2% or 1% fee anymore?

So you want them to reveal sales data on other peoples sales? Some of whom have the keep my sales private selected? That shouldn’t happen and won’t happen. A woman named Leanne is scraping the public data daily but thats as much as anybody is going to get imo.

I am really amused at the non stop demands to DAN who are the best as far as addressing every single complaint no matter how petty. Why don’t you ask GoDaddy for sales data? Or Afternic?

With Epik currently burning, now would be a very good time to launch your new @DAN.COM registrar

if you didn't learn anything out of the epik disaster
you might want to learn at least one thing:

it's important to have your eggs in different baskets

What was best for you?

 

[frank-germany]

@DAN.COM

now that you have implemented most of my suggestions lately

why don't you fix that annoying issue
of showing the Netherlands VAT amount in the German help text

we have 19% VAT aka MwSt in Germany
not 21% as in The Netherlands

 

[sg08]

What was best for you?

Afternic

 

[bolo]

Afternic

Ok, but double the commission

 

[davidc1]

Ok, but double the commission

and no "make offer" possibility...

I would consider it. I don't like charging the buyer an extra 2% at the exact moment they are ready to pay. I feel that some buyers might hesitate to pull the trigger.

The Dan.com website is responding pretty fast today.

They already answered about these fees ~2.5 months ago:

@DAN.COM

The new address you're using for DAN landers is 3.64.163.50.

Is the previous address 52.58.78.16 no longer preferred for landers via A-record from now on?

Thank you.

Good morning @carob,

Thank you for raising this question.

We do not offer it on the platform as we only show it for landing pages with a BIN where the owner is willing to accept LTO's or installments already. If this is not offered we do not know if the owner is willing to extend installment payments on his domain. However, I will make sure to relay your request to our product team for review.

Have a great week ahead.

Good morning @Future Sensors,

This is not required. The current A-record used for parking can still be used and can be left unchanged.

Have a great week.
