advice Dan.com first sale payout timeframe

[VivifyDomains]

Just sold my first domain name ever on dan yesterday! Insanely lucky

But just wanted to know how long does it take to get paid out? They've been reaching out to me a bunch of times but they just keep saying "as it's your first sale it will take a little longer". I already unlocked the domain name yesterday but no further instructions from them other than "wait a little longer".

Does anyone know roughly how long until they complete the transfer and pay out normally on a first sale? Or is this unusual?

Thanks

Congratulations @blinkSCV on your First sale on Dan . Nice for you, Can you let us Know how long you held the domain & the domain Name and the price it got sold

Thanks! Yeah sure I actually posted the details in the completed sales thread, but see below:

Name: XRcopilot (.) com
Hold: 11 days, handreg (insane luck, still can't believe it)
Price: $2488 BIN no outreach

And the delay I mentioned here was actually due to some additional compliance checks needed on the buyer's side from what I was told. I'm guessing they needed to KYC them and they were taking a while.

Once that was done received the payment within a few hours after the transfer

Hi

how long did you hold that domain before it sold.... a day, a week, a year or more?

point being, be patient.

i got same message with first sale too.

imo..

First I received the "sold" email on March 30 2023:

Right after that they told me payment has been received and to unlock the domain, which I did soon after.

Next day they told me "Since this is your first sale, this time will take a little longer.".

Two days later I followed-up again and they said they are waiting on the Afternic to review the Buyer's account for "compliance reasons".

One day later, they messaged me again saying I can push the domain to Dan's namecheap account.

About 10 hours later the money was in my bank account and the transaction was closed.

Then I re-invested 1/3 of the money back into domains and kept the rest haha. Lets see how it goes from now on

 

[noneisnone]

no payouts on Saturday and Sundays wait for tomorow and you should be able to get your payment i doubt a first time sale has anything to do with delays!

 

[DreamS]

also the first sale on dan, received money on paypal 3 hours after the transferred

 

[karmaco]

They normally pay very quickly. I have gotten paid 4 hours after the sale but its pretty standard notice they send out to allow around two business days for payment to be processed. Way better than most.

The process:
Sold
Receive money from buyer
Push or Transfer our
Pay
Just sold one this week and get pay within 48 hours after Dan received money from buyer.
You may have to wait a bit longer being your first sale with them

My domain is currently listed on sedo.com but no offers and interactions. Would it be better for me to list it on.dan.com?

@VivifyDomains : Regarding the sale of your hand-reg domain, that is one insane epic sale! I bought and sold a domain last year within 1 week, sale was at here Namepros, turns out the seller and buyer is the same. My sale value wasn't as high as yours though (sold at wholesale price but still made money)

Regarding your domain views: 2308 views a month is insane! Just curious, how many domains did you have in your portfolio? My Dan account only has 60 plus views and I have just 11 Exact match domains. You seemed to be more experienced than me as a newbie investor!

Congratulations on your lucky sale and may more high value sales come your way!

Hi @abcuser123 , thanks! I think at the time I had around 150 domains or so.

As for views, don't worry too much about them as they are diluted by bot visits. XRcopilot had almost no views when it sold.

Here's one domain I have that got around 250 views in one day recently and then basically nothing after, this is what bot views look like:

Yeah from what others have said the payment part seems to be pretty quick. But the transfer seems to be slow, the domain name is still in my account (sold March 30).

Anyway, I will wait for a few more days

 

[alcy]

give it few days...

Thanks! Yeah sure I actually posted the details in the completed sales thread, but see below:

Name: XRcopilot (.) com
Hold: 11 days, handreg (insane luck, still can't believe it)
Price: $2488 BIN no outreach

And the delay I mentioned here was actually due to some additional compliance checks needed on the buyer's side from what I was told. I'm guessing they needed to KYC them and they were taking a while.

Once that was done received the payment within a few hours after the transfer

afaik dan doesnt do much kyc for buyers...not even on btc.. so i would be stunned if they did for other pay ways

Selling a Domain in 11 days is Totally Insane man , What a Experience !!

Selling a Domain in 11 days is Totally Insane man , What a Experience !!

Yeah and going by some of the comments on namepros from the experienced domainers in the VR niche thread it sounds like this isn't a very good domain name so super lucky to have this as my first sale

 

[ET76]

Did you outbuound or buyer just came in and hit BIN?

 

[Umers]

Thanks for your opinion, but I think it’s a rare domain like a brand I just bought this domain at $5 per year so I think I should try my best to sell it in one year…

 

[VivifyDomains]

Was it a fresh domain or an expired one that got sold?
And any tips to get some traffic/views?

It was freshly hand registered, and I just listed it on Dan did not do anything special for traffic.

This one actually had much less traffic than most of my others

 

[VivifyDomains]

Thank you so much for your reply!
I've listed 2 of my domains on dan, sedo, and afternic, but not getting any views

Yeah I have some domains that have 0 or at least very low views for about a month, just depends on the demand for that type of domain I think. Most of my domains do start to get at least some views after 1 or 2 days of listing though.

You could also try loading your domains from a different device and different network (eg. your mobile network not your home wifi) just to make sure they actually load properly. It could be some issues with the landers which some people have reported here
