This Afternic twitter convo is getting a little heated. I am not sure it’s the best look and wonder how many people might pull their names out of Afternic? John Berryhill chimed in with That’s something I wrote about many years ago, now if I recall domainers were supposed to be able to opt out […]

I have my BIN landers on Sedo priced in GBP now - got a price request via Afternic this week and after factoring the cost of converting from GBP to USD, the commission difference and wire cost I made sure the price at Sedo was the cheaper option by 15%......

If anyone wants my domains through Afternic they are going to have to pay a 10% - 25% premium (depending on the domain) for me having to deal with them.... or they can use the Sedo lander......Their choice

If Godaddy don't like it, they can do one.......

Same. I moved 2 leads from Dan to sedo past month. 25% Vs 3% + some.

Both sold and payed. The 'discount' you can offer matters.

For most of domains , I use own lander . Afternic still good and has no competitor , but its possible new player will come and change the game in the future when they can build large network similar to AF and invest in smart marketing massively.

I'm using PCrew and Bodis for parking with the 'inquire about this domain' link on the landing page.

As soon as I being interacting with the potential buyer, I let them know if they use my preferred marketplace the price I offer is what they will pay. Any other marketplace will have up to a 16% fee added to cover the additional fees charged.

So far, no one is interested in paying more once I explain the situation to them.

I had similar exp with Bodis, no reply back after I contact them about their offer, this are probably bots, the IP was also from Philippines, not a rich country from what i know.

GoDaddy’s integration with Afternic, which theoretically lets customers add domains to Afternic from within their GoDaddy account, has been in beta for over two years. It broke back in May, which I discovered after submitting names that didn’t get listed and didn’t get the corresponding ‘for sale’ page.

The promise of the integration is a good one: simply click a few buttons from within GoDaddy to add your domains to the largest distributed sales marketplace and get a GoDaddy-branded sales lander for the page.

While waiting to get this fixed, you can still replicate the process using the original Afternic interface. It comes with some headaches, though. As a result, I’ve opted to list my domains on Afternic but point them to sales landers at other companies, such as Dan.com and Squadhelp.
