news NamePros Landers with Buy Now, Escrow.com integration, and much more

Hey, domain sellers!

We have a special surprise for you.

Continuing from last year (and last week), we have some exciting updates to share with you about NamePros Parking Landers!

First, consider this:

You price your domain name at $2,500. For years, hundreds of interested buyers want to buy it, but the price is too high for them. They don't even try to contact you because they don't realize that the price is negotiable or may change. Years later, you decide to lower the price to $995. How many previously-interested buyers would buy it at this lowered price? You’d never know — until now!

With our new Buy Now options, you can finally contact those previous buyers to increase your sales opportunities.

Here’s how:

Our landers have an option that requires buyers to confirm their email address before they can see the price. Once confirmed, the price is available to them and their email address is available to you. Simple and effective. Learn more on DNW.com.

Want to see more styles and options? Visit our live demo domains!

Now, let’s talk new features!​

• Buy Now: Add a Buy button with a sales price and payment options for buyers to purchase your domains.
  • Escrow.com (Recommended): Starts an Escrow.com transaction for you and allows the buyer to pay immediately.
  • PayPal: Creates a PayPal transaction for the buyer to pay directly to your PayPal account.
  • Email: You and the buyer use email to choose a payment method (e.g., crypto), discuss lease-to-own (LTO) options, etc.
• Location: Country, region (e.g., state or province), and locality (e.g., city, town, or village) of your inquirers to help you understand where they are located, the best time to contact them, etc.
• Bulk Management: Set options on multiple domains at the same time: prices, payment methods, appearance, etc. using our website's interface or your favorite spreadsheet software (e.g., Google Sheets).
  • Bulk Edit: Export, Edit, and Upload to apply your changes all at once.
• Exports: Download a list of your domains and their settings, customizations, and inquiries, including buyers’ email addresses, offers, etc. (CSV format.)
• Domain Verification: Verify your domains by using any of these methods: name servers (NS), CNAME, or TXT records.
• Supersonic Speed Boost: Our landers already loaded blazingly fast, but now they’re even faster — a powerful increase in performance!
  • For techies: Go, Redis, and Elastic (previously only: PHP and MySQL)

Wait, there’s more!

^ clicked on the link given, only 1 Nameserver is given.

It's directly below ns1.namepros-dns.com and it looks something like this:

r2dd3jfphsd36zd5hrhds3d83zf83f59.ns.namepros-dns.is

Do you see it?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

It took me hours to get a price for nuggies

This depends on the user, but most users can get it within a few minutes or less.

During testing, we can get to the price in 10 seconds.

 

[Corey]

umm where do I place the $ figure For Sale?

Thank you in advance

Cheers
Corey

 

[Future Sensors]

umm where do I place the $ figure For Sale?

Click the domain; then Edit; then set BIN (it's under 'Buy Now').

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

umm where do I place the $ figure For Sale?

You may have to wait until the domain is verified to set a price, but once it is, you can click on the domain in your account and then use the Edit button:

Also, confirm that you set a parking email address on the following page:

• https://www.namepros.com/parking/profile/email

That should do it.

Why has the Nuggies domain still not been sold?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Why has the Nuggies domain still not been sold?

Not a lot of buyers at $1.5 million dollars.

Plus, then we'd have to find another demo domain name.

Is toptoptop...top still for sale?

 

[Future Sensors]

Not a lot of buyers at $1.5 million dollars.

Plus, then we'd have to find another demo domain name.

So it's all about the price. For a moment I was worried you were using the wrong landers.

 

[Altetra]

I m in if Namepros staff can make something like Escrow to behave like a 3rd party between Buyer and Seller, so that the buyer does not open PP dispute and invent some fairy tale, maybe to ask his ID card for PP transactions?
Of course for a small 3 or 4 percentage from the sale.

I am also interested about escrow system, but must look about regulations around it.

In some old forums I were in before, they gives eligibility for some trusted members to intermediate the transactions in exchange of some fees (I think bitcoin talk also did this), of course a semi automated system will be better (payment must be automatic, including crypto because in some countries it's really hard to receive dollars), and NP should send domain name in question.

It's not an easy task, especially if one of both parties is not honest (too much hassle), but not impossible and will be awesome if implemented.

Also another option, is to allow members to post a thread for domain sales and auction by choosing directly from their parked domain they verified, and NP post should signal that the domain is really the ownership of the OP. (This will give more trust and credibility to the post).

 

[Future Sensors]

All of the recent bugs are due to adding new features that have been requested. It is impossible to add new features without bugs happening sometimes, as evidenced by frequent reports of GoDaddy/Afternic bugs.

Furthermore, all of our bugs have been fixed within hours of being reported. Are you seeing that response time anywhere else?

All of our prior parking functionality has been stable for a year thanks to a closed beta test prior to launching and thousands of domains being parked on NamePros for over a year.

To put it another way: members of this forum have traditionally exposed the many shortcomings of all well-known marketplaces, and the dedicated marketplace discussion threads still fulfill a pivotal role, especially since representatives of all domain marketplaces are present on NamePros. Sometimes the shortcomings are fixed, but in many cases they are not. In addition, there is less and less choice in terms of marketplaces that matter. That's why this initiative by NamePros is so valuable. Thank NamePros later.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

That's why this initiative by NamePros is so valuable.

Our master plan to get the other marketplaces to do better and listen to everyone. But, it'll only work if lots of sellers use us.

Quick, everyone park your domains with NamePros Parking!

Lander doesn’t sell name
Drive traffic to namepros, thats ok ish
I don’t have a lander set up so I can’t see what buyer see’s with links.
Guinea pigs, I gladly help when I can but I want things to be working right.
Answers for Mr. Sensors

I want clean, direct and the unique code, thats original content and some people would write a big whoopedey do on their landers, that in quotations showed me a big list of your names, must be on laptop
You know what I am talking about
.science
Sure wouldn’t like to my profile page, but thats me. I am naturally untrusting and guy I have coffee with was looking for flaws in Moscow art museums since 7 years old. Thats why he is investing in Iraqi dinars. Follow the smart money, not the public money

 

[Name Trader]

Is there any limit to the number of pages we can create? It would be nice to be able to upload these landers in bulk so that we would not need to spend weeks uploading our portfolio to the landers?

 

[Domain boy]

Loved it.

I believe in NP

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

Lander doesn’t sell name

Like you, my impression is that upfront pricing may be helpful to actually get sales for at least some domains. That would be especially a consideration if the pricing is now 20-30% less, due to not having to pay a commission. That lower price, up front, could be a major attractant.

For those of us not sure what you are talking about here, perhaps you can clarify?

No limits.

Import using CSV is coming soon.

Domains can already be added by the thousands at a time under “Add domains,” but if you want to export your portfolio from another marketplace and automatically set your prices on NamePros from that exported file, then our upcoming CSV import feature will be the way to do that.

We can prioritize that if you need it.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Kudos to putting in the effort, nice to see you around more often too.
Tall task but you do have knowledge and xperience. I’ll be watching 3 names parked.
@LoveCatchyDomains not only words are indexed in google.

Peace out
BTW I’ll be blocking the OP so eye don’t see this thread. Put that on your fix list

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

There’s already a Mute option for threads under the “…” button at the top of every thread.

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

...not only words are indexed in google.

So, as a question to the group overall, is seeing previous domain pricing, as indexed on Google that major a concern? Is that a major reason why the contact form is used first before seeing the price?
