Sav Official Thread

[Nick R]

Hello NamePros community! We are creating a single thread where we can share announcements in, talk about product updates, people can ask questions and host a great discussion on all things domains!

@Traderas At this stage you don’t own the name yet. Quite often sellers refuse to transfer their names to Sav, in most cases because they’re not happy with the sale price. I’d suggest check whois records and see the status of the name. If it says “pending transfer” it means the seller has started the transfer. If it says “ok” it means they haven’t followed with the transfer yet. If they refuse to transfer the name their account will be restricted and you will get a refund.

I checked whois and it says the domain is in SAV

 

[Anton Naydenov]

@Traderas May I know the name?

@Traderas The name was actually mine. I am the seller. So I know it was definitely paid because I can see it in my list of sales. But I just checked and I can still see the name in my account. I’d suggest create a support ticket on help.sav.com and ask them to move it to your account. If you want I can do it. Just message me in private your email address that is associated with your Sav account and I will push the name to you. It will be quicker if we sort this between us. @Akbarrr is right - Sav will take time to do it.

That's strange it should have been transferred to you pretty much instantly as the domain is at Sav.. raise a ticket to sav at help.sav.com and let them know... will take another 24 hours because they respond within 24 hours.

What are the chances!!
Thank you both gentlemen!

@Nick R Another proof your change of rules is affecting decent bidders in a bad way. I just spoke with somebody who participated in auctions yesterday and you pre-authorized multiple amounts from their payment method on file. Now when she won a few auctions she doesn’t have enough “free” money in her card to pay what she won, because you pretty much blocked the whole balance in the card. You have created a typical Catch-22 - you’ve blocked amounts for auctions she lost, and now you will restrict her account for not paying the auctions she actually won. You haven’t thought about the details at all! When I told you that you’re creating even bigger mess I meant it.

@Traderas @Anton Naydenov @Akbarrr Now @Nick R and staff are on holidays

 

[Anton Naydenov]

@shaikh555 Yes, they are on holidays. And I can predict how next attack and next wave of huge fake proxies is just around the corner. I have my own theory who j_x was. And Nick’s new auction rules won’t stop those people at all, because they have the resources and the money to play this expensive game. I tried to warn him, but he won’t listen. The only ones affected will be decent legitimate bidders.

You can't stop those fake idiots it's hard.. you'll find such idiots in every marketplace sedo, dynadot, dropcatch, godaddy etc ... but for now, they can only limit those fake guys until there's a perfect solution...

These fake guys have so much time to do these stupid things lol...

The pre-auth multiple transactions can be stopped and I am sure they will work on this once they are back to business as Nick already said chat support and the rest of the things will be up soon.

For the pre-auth thing, I suggest you load funds in your PayPal and transact with PayPal balance because the refunds will be pretty much instant. If you transact with the card, it's probably gonna take 3-5 days.

I hope they will also add a "pre-funds" (adding certain funds to our own account at sav ) option and a withdrawal option as well so one can easily withdraw later if he wants to.

Auctioned domain: How long does Sav taken to push the domain into account after processing the payment?

 

[Anton Naydenov]

@Akbarrr I don’t think we are dealing with “idiots” in this case though. The attack was well organized and it was aimed at expensive .xyz names. All other TLDs that got affected were only for distraction. Let’s say certain people don’t want to pay too much for such names, and prefer to eliminate competition, and to discourage sellers by bending them to their will. The final goal is to force sellers to sell cheap to them, perfectly not in auctions. Such people or companies will happily destroy a whole marketplace only to achieve what they want. For instance observe the strange behaviour of this bidder w_w_909b80, who is mainly placing bids on names with high proxies set up in advance by j_x_942e4f (auctions they perfectly know they can’t win because the proxy is too high). If they don’t know who the highest bidder is, or if they don’t know what the proxy is, they simply skip the name, or place very low bids. Something more - whoever or whatever is behind w_w_909b80 is actually the same person/company that was behind the bidder b_c_5385d5 and a few more accounts. They just replaced the account because they missed to pay something by mistake, and the old account was restricted. So as I said they have the resources and the money to play their game - Nick’s new rules only made it easier for them, not harder. The ones affected now are not the ones who were behind the attack. Totally the opposite. Nick simply took the wrong side.

I don't think this guy is fake "w_w_909b80" I closely watched a few auctions he participated and he won and paid like for computers.xyz, webcam.xyz, and in a few other extensions... I don't know about the other guy...

Auctioned domain: How long does Sav taken to push the domain into account after processing the payment?

If the domain is registered at Sav it will be pretty much instant but as the sav staff is on leave they will take care of this on Monday I guess...

If the domain is registered somewhere else, then it depends on the seller if he wants to transfer it or not.. because few sellers won't transfer the domain if they think the price is not up to their expectations.

 

[Anton Naydenov]

@Akbarrr You simply haven’t understood what I said. I never said that the bidder was fake. I said that he’s playing games, and arranging to buy names for pennies. Computers.xyz is a perfect example. The name sold for “pennies”. I say “he”, but the bidder is not “he”, because there is a whole company behind the account. A company with big budget that is interested in buying high-value .xyz (and other new gTLDs) names very cheap.

 

[shaikh555]

I would have participated in that auction if it had the normal renewal.. anyway let's see how this goes it's too soon to say something...

 

[Anton Naydenov]

@Akbarrr I know how it will go. They managed to scare away all other bidders with their fiasco the last couple of days. And they will start buying very cheap now. I am canceling my auctions, because I don’t want to sell to them for pennies. You have a problem with the renewal fee, I personally don’t.

This guy did not paid for my auctions last week! We as seller should hv the right to choose whether to start 2nd round auction as it takes too long for one round and 2 rounds takes almost 10-14 days to complete if buyer pays up! What if they don’t pay 2nd round then 3rd, 4th, 5th??
