discuss Domain Front runners & automation process

[Lox]

if you sell your own domain name on Dynadot marketplace and if you don't list the domain name in your Sedo account ... the chances are high that you may see someone else (largely automated process) has already listed the domain @ Sedo & set a higher price than is @ Dynadot. If you make changes to your price, front-running script may change the price as well. However, if you ask Sedo to delete/remove the domain name from Sedo market, this doesn't guarantee success, bc somehow the front-runner/s auto-relist your domain name again (1-3 days).

(* There are a variety of ways in which frontrunners can play w/t aftermarkets. This is an example of Seller@ A-Market >> Frunner@ B-Market)

random example:

I truly hope Dan fixes this problem, makes verification mandatory, creates a check box when submitting names agreeing to terms of service and they will continue to be the .top marketplace for domainers

Having some stronger verification practices would probably help tremendously.
Trustpilot has reviews on Dan, Sedo, and Afternic. I was curious about this issue, and started reading them today. Dan comes across with the strongest reviews overall, and as a company with many fans. Sedo came in second, with scattered comments about domains owned by others attempting to be sold. They seem to have stricter verification processes, trying to address this and prevent this.
Since Dan is such a popular company with high ratings, they no doubt have every interest in fixing any such problems quickly. They did fix my issue quickly, and hopefully will review the even broader picture as well.

Dan is the number one marketplace, they are 100% honest, perfect landers, pay fast. only two issues are this listing unowned names, only because their so nice and at 3 pm after work i get this message
We'll be back online
Tomorrow

Their aware, what they do about it is their business. I won’t waste any of your, or my time on this issue anymore, unless I am brought into the conversation.
Or PM, i mean DM

Today, Dan posts "This Page Is Gone." You seem to have gotten their attention

I think at some point, Dan needs to make verification mandatory on all aftermarket listings (like GoDaddy and Sedo do now) - otherwise they'll become the last bastion for these guys to mass-load domains on.

Absolutely.

1. 100% sure (tested and monitored since September)

2. btw. pricix is not my domain name

Regards

If you (or someone else) don't care about listing on the same platform - just leave it. If you have your landing page with your price - what to worry about? And if someone is selling it for 15000 anywhere online - let him do it

Still interesting. Par for the course really. Remember this is domaining.
I would explain in detail but sometimes things come out wrong and then there is butt hurts. Keep digging

@DAN.COM you should be reading this. Massive front running being talked about on your platform.
They have made it a bit harder, as the brandable theme does not show your about me. Handy
The brandable theme also prevents me from seeing other information. That is important for research
However a name that is brandable lander, showing no about me, if you search name in dan search, it will show sellers username and link to portfolio if that is set up

Something does seem amiss here. You are a Master at domains, and do feel something is wrong here. Perhaps others on the forum can check and see if any of their domains are showing up there as well unexpectedly.

Went to generic profile when heat got turned up, in my correspondence with Dan 27 weeks ago
went from 210,000 names to 12,000
Now it was working a while ago, but has been deleted, his new listings page changed to this when he went to private seller
https://dan.com/domain-seller/domai...2-0d86f5e316c3?&results=50&order_by=relevance

Obviously your someone here. Reading this. Glad i could pop your bubble. Something else needs to be popped though

I also noticed Ughby.com has been removed from Dan, I posted that in another thread here someone started about their names being listed on Dan by someone else
there is more than one person pulling this stunt, easy.
DroidChoice.com has also been removed from Dan, it was 4sale last night
Whoever listed that is reading this
I truly hope Dan fixes this problem, makes verification mandatory, creates a check box when submitting names agreeing to terms of service and they will continue to be the .top marketplace for domainers
