status-review Report all the agreed-upon non-sales (Either buyers or sellers back out)

[simonpan]

I want to start a thread that reports all the agreed-upon domain sales that buyers or sellers backed out in marketplaces including namepros.

Please include if possible:
Domain name
Buyer's or seller's name (maybe their social profiles) who backed out
Price
the link or the marketplace where the transaction occured
A brief explanation about what happened
Be creative and add more stuffs if you like

But no insulting.

He/She started an auction but canceled the auction with bids already on it an hour before it ended. It is against the policy of Namepros. People should be aware of this!

You bid under the listing terms. The listing terms said auction can be cancelled within 8 hours even if there is bids. You shouldn't have bid otherwise despite the terms of the listing.

People bid under Namepros rules - you can't just make up auction rules in case the amount is not what you are looking for.....which is what you have blatantly done....Your "rule" is not reasonable as no auction would allow you to do this and Namepros does not accept reserve prices either......

6.2.2. Reserve prices for auctions are not permitted; auction holders (sellers) must set a starting bid that they are prepared to accept.

6.2.10. Auction holders (sellers) must sell to the highest bidder with a valid bid at the end of the auction or to the first buyer to accept a valid Buy-It-Now ("BIN") price before the auction ends. If the BIN price matches the current high bid, then the auction ends immediately with the current high bidder as the winner. Rule 6.1.17 applies.

6.2.12. Auction formats, details, terms, and rules created by sellers must be reasonable, transparent, specific, and predictable. Exception: Sellers have full control over the amount of their starting bids, even if the amount seems unreasonable.

You either sell it to the highest bidder or your name is s&it on this forum......

As a seller I indeed have the right to dictate certain terms and they were listed in the listing. There were many other terms in the listing and not just one, such as immediate payment, having many positive feedbacks etc and all bids are under those terms in my listing on top of Namepros terms.

Finally, I sincerely understand how frustrating it must be and for this I would like to apologise to everyone and I thank you for your time and again I would like to apologise for taking up your time.

You can set your own terms as long as they don't contradict any of the forum's terms for auctions. Giving yourself the power to end an auction even with a valid bid contradicts the Namepros terms.

If you want to have total control, then don't list on third-party platforms that have their own rules.

What don’t you understand about you have to follow the rules of the forum not make your own up? If you don’t like the established rules don’t list here.

I saw when he posted his auction with those terms. I automatically knew he was going to default. Didn't bother to bid. I am not surprised it played out the way it did.

 

[karmaco]

My listing clearly stated the terms of the auction and any bids under those terms are agreeing with those terms.

You don’t dictate terms here the people who own this forum do. But no worries you will never sell a name here.

 

[FolioTeam]

My rules were on top of the namepros rules and all bidders who are bidding are agreeing to my rules in the listing. As a seller, I get to add extra terms such as payment type, auction style in addition to namepros.


Most importantly all buyers are aware of my terms when bidding and are de facto agreeing to my terms when bidding.

There's no use going back and forth with this if you are finding it hard to understand why it was wrong on so many levels.

Someone should have reported that auction so that the mods could have closed it down before all those bidders wasted their time

 

[1Darko]

There is no way that each individual is pushing auction terms as they wish and override namepros rules! Beside the 8 hour cancelling time there is another conflict with namepros rules - demanding Paypal Friends and Family payment is against the namepros auction rules and should be ignored and reported by all namepros members!

The thing is that you're using NamePros, which also has terms and conditions. NamePros' terms and conditions overwrite any of your own made-up terms...

Update: In regard to the above auction, where the seller failed to honor the binding agreement, they were infracted for the incident and reminded of the rules. After two different moderator teams and several members in this thread attempted to explain the rules to help them get back on track, the member continued to refuse to honor them, which resulted in their account being restricted for security reasons.

Once they have reviewed the rules again and agree to follow them, their account will qualify for a review to remove the restriction.

For now, all posts by the member will go into a moderation queue that requires manual moderator review prior to publishing, to ensure the rules are being followed moving forward.

[FolioTeam]

Ha! I never heard of anything like this. You should set a reserve price instead of just cancelling when you don't like the ending price.

By Namepros rules, you can't set a reserve price. The only workaround is to set your desired reserve price as starting bid. But some people won't still do that because they know no one will bid on those auctions with a high starting bid

 

[VJB]

I dont see any negative feedback. So much spam and sketchy activity here now.

I actively notified the admin how the seller did not respect the auction... I even tagged the @Echo Mod Team in the msg I have sent that person for initiating the transfer process. ..
The profile is still active...

 

[FolioTeam]

I did not set a reserve price.

Never said you did. Was just replying to the other guy's suggestion of a reserve price

Just seeing this now.

First I have to apologize to @VidhataPrakash and @Echo Mod Team what actually happened is that I lost my 2wv (2 way verification) after my phone was stolen.

Uptill now my account is inactive after several writing to GoDaddy to see a way my account can be opened.

My Domain name is still with them and hopefully if eventually it's opened I will transfer the domain to you.

NB
If anyone know or had experience on how they recovered their domain name after lose of 2wv please give a hint. Will be appreciated.

Below I've attached one of the emails sent to GoDaddy

At least you could have let me know. You replied to the thread saying "sorry too low" Perhaps you should have read the NP rules before starting the auction.
Then again you did not bother to reply to my msgs even after warning by @Echo Mod Team . You did not honour the deal. I really cannot buy your BS.

 

[robart]

Yes you bided low but you won the bid...
I could've have transfer the domain to you but like I said I lost my phone and access to GoDaddy.
What's in it keeping the domain when somebody has won it already. It's yours if I can gain access to it.
It might be BS to you but I love keeping me reputation clean.

Ohh, That's sad, in this case you must try contacting GoDaddy via Email/Call and make them understand your situation. I am sure they will help.

As I observed in your last shared screen shot, you were sending emails to automated donotreply email id of GoDaddy, please send the email to proper support team.
