if i have 2 accounts at dan.com is it possible to push a group of names from one account to another?

Good morning @cabotower,

This certainly is possible. However, only the names will be moved to another account. The statistics or pending negotiations will not move along with it.

All the best,

@LaszloSchenk

Hey there!

I've started seeing some of my domains (not all) indexed by google, I haven't changed the privacy setting.
Could you confirm that there were any changes on that end, if so - how the new mechanics work?

I want to know to be able to get the maximum exposure for my names and to understand why not all of them are indexed.

Thank you!

Good morning @astrade,

Thank you for checking in with us.

There have been no changes implemented regarding this. The indexing of the pages requires time. Good to hear you have already started seeing some of your domains getting indexed by Google.

Have a great week ahead!

Good morning!

So, it is still less coverage for users without open profile and interlinking?

"Good to hear you have already started seeing some of your domains getting indexed by Google"

Yes, thank you, wish I wasn't waiting 6 months for it.

Anyone else having problems logging in? When I try to log in (on my mobile phone), Chrome either completely crashes or I get a message on DAN's site saying "Unprocessable Entity". I think it might be caused by the Captcha on the log-in page?

I have tried clearing cache and using VPN - nothing helps.

Hi Alcy,

As indicated to you in our private conversation, you have set up pages based on your own configuration. We offer landing pages and hybrid pages while you have set up your own redirect. We do not control if you enter the correct redirect link or not. If you do not use our proposed setup options the issues resolve on your end, based on your own configurations.

Best regards,

why don't you fix the stupid bug
in the german help text regarding VAT?

in Germany, we don't have 21% VAT
as you yourself have in TheNetherlands
but we have 19%

why do you have a help text anyway
explaining to a german what he knows already?

but if you insist to do so
why WRONG infos?

this is my 21th reminder in that case

yes that's basically what I said in my post. that u do not guarantee it.

however let me be clear that u are incorrect this is my own setup..as this is universal generic bodis market redirect setup...being used by 1000s..not just me.

frankly logic would dictate such setups involving 1000s of.bodis and dan.clients would be bulletproof.. verified and tested by both bodis and dan...but clearly this is not so.

many tnx.

 

[brainland]

Good morning,

Not yet, but we are investigating the matter and working on the problem at hand.

Best regards,

You still haven't fixed this issue yet. These bots are not needed as it gives vanity metrics of our domains and we find it difficult to know which of our domains needs more focus or gets healthy traffic. This is also not good for the Domain SEO in future.

@alcy,

We have done this for quite some time now. We are required to perform the KYC before it can be processed. The regulations are changing regarding crypto payments and payouts and we have to make sure to be in line with them.

@massive1019, if all documents are delivered as requested, are clear and all steps communicated are performed as mentioned it does not have to take long. If you contact our support instead of Namepros it could have been either explained or concluded for you.

Best regards,

I just listed some domains FS on Dan.com for the first time. Very easy to do and seems no verification of ownership was needed. I suppose the verification of ownership actually happens when an offer/purchase is actually made (e.g. through auth code)? Is this how Dan works? Seems this would prone to scamming as anyone can list domains they don't own FS on Dan.

Under your settings there are name servers you can use to verify if say you now own a domain that is in someone else’s account. If you can list it, its not on DAN and you don’t have to prove anything (kinda like Afternic)

Ownership verification is only needed if a domain you are trying to list is already listed, and was not properly removed by another DAN user. That way you prove that you are the new owner of the domain, and the domain can then be moved to your account.

Sometimes during the sales process, it may be decided by DAN to prove that you really own the domain, if there are any doubts about this.

Normally, however, you can list your domains without verification.

You may also choose to permanently turn on DNS based verification for all the domains you add to DAN. This can be done with the additional (3rd) verification nameserver, or with a TXT record.

Interesting, so ownership verification is only really needed when there's a committed transaction and is verification only done in the form of the auth code required to transfer from seller to buyer?
I'm assuming money is held in escrow and not released to seller until the entire transaction has gone through and domain is in buyer possession?

I wonder why ownership verification is not upfront. Otherwise, this could be prone to scamming and also wasted time buying/paying for domains to ultimately find out listed seller doesn't actually own the domain (it's happened to me a few times when I tried to purchase, paid, then got refunded).

 

[FolioTeam]

Has anyone else noticed that the BTC payout option is missing under payout settings?

Yes, same here. Also, I tried to change my setting from Buy Now + Make Offer to Request Price, but the landing pages are not updated, and if you search for the domain at Dan.com, it shows a BIN of $0, but with the previous monthly installments...

Good morning @meanieme,

Thank you for checking in with us.

We want to make sure that the process to get started or add more domain names is as frictionless as possible for our users. We trust that no one will add any names they do not own as there simply is no benefit for anyone to list domain names they have no control over. Not only because such a name cannot be sold but also because there is no fraud to be committed. Without the delivery of such a domain name, there will be no payout and the buyer in that sense is always protected.

That being said, we also have our own verification methods that er being performed once a name gets listed.

Have a great day.

well with their new kyc... I'm gonna take wild guess and say btc option only now showing to kyc verified members

speaking of which..I just now realized to.ask... since this begs the question... given yer kyc process for sellers.now...how does kyc work for buyers who want to use btc? @LaszloSclaszl... I think its good for sellers.to know this while negotiating.. so we.do not say to buyer things like.... u can quickly pay with btc.

cause a page long of kyc requirements..well... there is nothing quick about it.

Even at that, the option shouldn't have been completed omitted. Instead, if selected and you are yet to complete the KYC requirement, the system should prompt you to do so.

Never even understood why the KYC was only brought up during payout. Someone should be able to open a new account, verify it and their BTC payout method (if they so wish) from the start.

Similar to what you have on crypto exchanges. You verify before hand making sure that any future transactions and withdrawals can happen without a hitch.
