We’d like to kick things off with an extension of our $7.99 .COM transfer sale, the code “COMTRANS4” has been extended until 23:59 PST on May 31, and there’s no limit on how many domains you can transfer using the code. Every month we have great prices on a wide selection of domains, and you can find a full list of our sales here:

Your image has a domain I may or may not be bidding on

Did you win it?

Out of a courtesy to you, I didn't place a bid.

Though, I noticed somebody had outbid the previously mentioned $37 price point.

Any idea what it closed at?

Meanwhile...

The single $125 bid for Directv.co has that auction prominently positioned on Dynadot.com homepage.
With 20+ hours remaining. After the initial bid was placed at 2020-05-10 | 10:02

Does that mean Dynadot is OK with this domain being featured on their home page, along side the .co flash sale banner?

A few thoughts

• Why would anybody place a early high bid on a dynadot auction if that means dynadot is going to feature your bid/domain on their home page for added competition?
• Is the person who bid $125 helping or hurting dynadot? Meaning, is it possible dynadot is getting trolled (perhaps by a bidder who doesn't intend to pay?) just to game Dynadot's auction promotion system, to troll Dynadot into featuring a potentially trademark domain on their home page along side their .co flash sale banner?
• There could be a legit use to Direct V outside of Directv trademark? And dynadot doesn't wish to impose. As a result this allows dynadot to profit, possibly passing on all liability to the bidding parties / IP holders / appropriate legal routes?

Possible solution: Manually vet featured domains.

That's very kind of you. I didn't win it but came very close. Dynadot is slowly becoming the new GD in terms of expired prices it seems.

Hello everyone. My name is Hallie Cao. I'm on the Dynadot aftermarket team, so if you have any feedbacks or comments especially about our marketplace, please send them my way! I promise to look into every feedback as they play a vital role in letting us know what works and what doesn't. Thank you all for the comments and feedbacks thus far. I look forward to being an active participant here on Namepros.

To address the questions regarding directv.co - no, we do not actively promote trademark domains. Our hot auctions list is automated in our system and looks like this one slipped through. Thank you for letting us know. We have removed it from the featured list.

 

[Hallie Cao]

Thank you my favourite Registrar for the Official thread. It would increase better experience for users.

A request please charge less for domain tasting.

Thanks

Hello @Sinbad. Is there a specific TLD you're thinking of?

 

[Hallie Cao]

Dynadot an up comer registrar greatly respect

Problem; $500 min to payout from DD auctions

Hi @Samer. The $500 minimum only applies to payouts to non-US based Paypal accounts. I understand the amount seems high but we had to respond to Paypal's changes to fee structure back in 2018.

 

[Samer]

So if i sold a name for $30 in Dynadot auctions,

I can withdraw $30 into my Paypal account?

Wow! Then dont disapprove, doesnt affect me

 

[Samer]

Agree withdraw process can better streamlined?

Honestly, inferred $500 to all;

How do I withdraw account balance?
To withdraw Dynadot account balance:

1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
2. Select "My Info" from left-side and click "Payout Log"
3. Select "Request Payout".
4. Enter "Payout Amount" select preferred currency;
5. Select preferred "Payout Method"
6. Enter "Pay email", "Phone" if applicable
7. Click "Request Payout". See Payout Policy ensure account eligible;

Why dual standard policy ?

I don't know what you're suggesting.

The site [FindYourCalling.com] is developed.

FWIW

 

[Samer]

I don't know your suggesting.

The site is developed.

Suggesting that was during prime years

Also prime Golden LLLL.com Age too, as i recall

 

[Samer]

Although i would question that sale if it occured today, for sure.

Back then? more "perfect storm" for the "perfect storm" IMO

I'm sorry if this is taking this off-topic. My last post on the subject.

NameBio search results for: Contains=your + 12 letters minimum + sorted by price

My point being, I don't know how much Call to Action domains were affected by a possible 2015 domain pump and dump.

Not sure if this applies

But

KnowYourOptions.com sold for $50k (2010)

And FindYourCalling.com sold for $30k (2015)

I think $219 for KnowYourCalling was a great price for a solid domain.

Looks like I'll be watching Dynadot auctions a little closer now.

Our account managers can help you out with payouts below the minimum amount, we'd just need to ask you to contact them at [email protected] for any such requests. The limit set within our system would still be $500 however, so it wouldn't be possible to submit the request with the standard payout process unfortunately.

 

[Sinbad]

Yes, .com and .in
Currently there is another registrar who provides this service for way less for .com domains.

Hello @Sinbad. Is there a specific TLD you're thinking of?

 

[thedotsol]

The issue with sudden site maintenance is getting even worse. Today it has happened countless times. What a pity, other than this it is perfect registrar.

 

[Dynadot]

We appreciate your feedback and are working to decrease maintenance.
