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.

Still would like to see better verification. Most of those names were never owned by anyone else, or owned before there was a marketplace there.

Been domaining for over 20 years. Decided to give Dan.com a try. Uploaded a list of about 234 domains and 108 are already listed on Dan.com

Most of these I have owned for many years. There is no legitimate way these are listed on Dan.

I've tried to research and see if me adding them will trigger an owner verification but from what I read it looks like I would have to add a verification nameserver to 108 names and jump through a bunch of hoops to get in my portfolio?

Any advice? Really makes me wonder how many of my sales are someone arbitraging my names?

My first impression is not a positive one.

you saw your names on Dan and now you a new customer.....

@DNGear


Another news is here: https://dan.com/users/settings/integrations
They launched some kind of MLS/DLS for 20%.

Looks like by default that is off - the default option reads "List my domains on Dan.com only".

I have no intention of ticking the box labeled "List my domains on the Open Domain Distribution Network & Dan.com" until I know who that Network is.

There was an option like redirect to DAN landers ..
If we enable it would show like
https://dan.com/buy-domain/universe.pro?redirected=true&tld=pro
If we disable it would show like
https://universe.pro

@Jurgen Wolf

Its back.

The first Open Domain Distribution Network is live!​

finally we have Afternic competition.

Afternic listings not showing on Uniregistry.com (a Godaddy company ) even.

Congratulations DAN!

So which registrars and aftermarkets are part of the DDN? Blog doesn't specify.

I've enabled the DAN Distribution Network, but at the moment it's a black box for me. I can well imagine that in the start-up phase the supply of participating domains must first increase before network partners will join this initiative. That is why I am happy to help realize such an ecosystem. Nevertheless, I'd also like to hear which network partners have already joined*. With this information I can estimate the scope of the distribution, and possibly adjust my prices to the new model, whereby more commission is withheld.

On the API Partnership Program page, at least the following 3 partners are currently listed as partner:

• Efty
• DNWE
• United Domains

Not sure if there will be partners that are not already sedo and/or afternic partners.

Good morning @Future Sensors,

Great to hear that. We will soon launch a page with all integrators that are linked to our network. I cannot give away any names yet but several larger organizations are already working on getting integrated as we speak.

@Dane, we will initially show if the origin of your sale through the seller invoice. This will change in the near future!

@LaszloSchenk ...

DDN - if there's no GD then it's pointless to me.....

Agree, but let's see...

 

[astrade]

Any chance that there would be an option to add the 11% markup to the domains going through DDN?
So we as sellers will get the same amount of money regardless of where the domains were sold?

@DAN.COM

This is a great idea.

 

[Dane]

@Dan any updates on when that "Category" feature will be added?

 

[justsand]

IMO, @DAN.COM should consider different commissions for different price ranges for DDN listings if the price markup is not good idea. 20% commission for below 5k is quite negligible but 20% for 5 or 6 figures is a lot (for example, 50k sale and 20% commission, you will receive 40k after 10K commission).

Otherwise, 15% is a good option IMO, what do you think?

 

[ecomslice]

9 hours now no reply from support, this is what your buyers get for service.

Good luck with spontaneous purchases if they have questions.

 

[ecomslice]

11 Hours now. so anyone enjoying Alter as an alternative ? I am hearing good things.

Afternic has

20% for ($5000 and below)

15% + $1000 for ($5001 to $25000)
15% is on the difference between the sale price and $5000

10% + $4000 for (above $25000)
10% is on the difference between the sale price and $25000
