information [DAN] New Features: Import LTO Transactions and Auto-Opt-In Distribution

[internext]

Just got this email from DAN -

We are delighted to let you know about two new updates to Dan.

Firstly, beginning March 16, Dan customers will be able to import Lease-to-Own transactions, charged at a 10% commission rate. This widely requested feature will be accessible through Dan’s Sales Activity page.

Secondly, we noticed customers opting into the Afternic distribution network, achieve higher sales volume. Given the commission is now the same irrespective of where the domain sells, we will be automatically integrating all Buy-It-Now listed domain names into the Afternic Distribution Network. If you prefer not to have your domains listed on Afternic from within Dan, you can opt out through your account settings page. It also will no longer be possible to maintain a different price across platforms. If you already have domain names listed with a custom Afternic price, we will update your Buy It Now price to the highest listing price across all platforms.

You can read more about these and other updates on the Dan blog.

Happy selling!

Finally it shows 'not listed' on Afternic network for all our domain portfolio on Dan. That's a relief - must be sorted then.........................just one small problem - just checked a couple and they are still listed for sale on 123-reg and godaddy with BINs. So I would check some of your domains on various platforms to see if they are appearing for sale. It is completely random - some aren't listed - some are.

Looks like all our domains are back on Dan only - I have put BINs back on our domains

Last week, we noticed a synchronization issue while launching our Product Update #8. Work was conducted on Friday to rectify this issue. This work meant that for some users, Afternic Distribution Network opt-out settings weren’t saved.
This issue has been fully resolved, but if you did opt out of the Afternic Distribution Network last week, please verify the settings here: https://dan.com/users/settings/integrations

As far i understand names listed with BIN at DAN can be sold via the afternic network but the sale will be processed at DAN.
I use different company to sell at DAN and Afternic, when listed some with BIN disappeared from afternic account, is it the normal?

Good question. I saw Dan reps responding that if you have a separate Afternic account, don't turn integration on at Dan.

Thx for reply, the case is that at dan can list anything in a minute while at Afternic need to send every time screenshots etc as domains appear already listed so was thinking that maybe would be a solution to list at dan and appear at Afternic

 

[Acroplex]

Yes, the listings at Dan after enabling integration appear on Afternic. Pricing changes, after adding these domains, are instant. For domains that are having issues contact support. The process isn't perfect: BIN price is also the minimum offer price at Afternic, regardless of an existing minimum price at Dan.

This doesn't work. It will show as 'Already listed (listing failure). AFAIK you have to add a 3rd name server (please check on Dan under 'ownership' section/tab)

Good morning @Acroplex,

You are absolutely right! If you already have an Afternic account the integration as offered through Dan will be of no added value to you. If you have a separate Dan account but already list through Afternic directly, none of your listings will be affected unless you explicitly request our support to initiate a migration process for you.

Have a great day!

At dan there is no problem can list anything with the txt record, afternic is the problem as i want to use separate accounts
