How does Bido work.

I have submitted a 3 char. domain for sale with a low reserve of 80$ or so and it hasn't received any votes to go thru auction.

Am I missing something ? Do I need to do something or just wait ?

You have 3 credits use it to accelerate it to auction. If the 3character domain is in any extension other than a com then it is unlikely to attract any interest.

 

[wellmanneredsquirrel]

it's a dot com, that's why I thought it was weird

Have you confirmed the name (you would have been sent an email) and added a description

yeah I think I did confirm ownership.


Maybe it's just the olympics/Valentine's day combined effect on my fellow domainers

Whats the name I can check to see if its listed and viewable to vote on.

2uy or 2ui, I don't remember lol

 

[Michelle]

neither are showing. Maybe you should go to *my bido* and click on my domains, submitted domains to see if they need any further set up action by yourself

 

[wellmanneredsquirrel]

Submitted a support ticket but I think I'll end up selling on another platform.

Thanks for the help AR, Mellow,

 

[Michelle]

Support IMO is fab so I am sure you will get an answer asap.. It's up to you where you sell but dont dismiss them

For future reference

The reason the domain was not available for voting was because I had not agree to the Bido agreement (at bido.com/SellingPreferences ). That's probably because I initially joined Bido to buy domains and didn't check the box.

-------------------------------------

You're right Mellow, now that everything's working I'll give Bido a try.

Thanks

So how did Bido work out for you?

I'm about to test them out right now. I submitted quicksniper.com (name for "auction sniping" service) and it god voted to auction within a few minutes. We'll see how it goes. Live auction starts 2/22/2010. Speaking of auctions, which thread is it ok to promote these things in here? Thanks!

I stumbled upon this thread i really need help guy wth the concept of bido credits. I listed my domain lingerieoasis.com,it has been verified but i dont want to wait for voting time.I will like to send it to auction ASAP. Now i see bido credit 1=$8.88 dollars. Does it mean i need to pay this amount to go aution straight or what?

Bido is a waste of time...

How are they still even going? I remember when I first started using them and having some success but then they just started to fall off. Taking a look at their Sales Archive - http://bido.com/SalesArchive

Just have 2 sales listed for the month. In the past, they also listed Sales Amount, then did away with that. The 2 sales listed - $39 and $1, total $40 for the month. That's the sale amount, not their cut.

I have no idea how they're making money nowadays and staying afloat.
