Why doesn't Spaceship verify ownership and allow others to publish and sell thousands of my domain names without verifying ownership?

Others have increased the price of my thousands of domain names by over 100% and published them on Spaceship to earn the difference. Spaceship does not verify ownership, which seriously affects the normal sales of my domain names

You are the most intelligent person in the world! You're smarter than Einstein!

I have just deleted the reply in that post, and I will continue to top this post. This is a serious issue.

Also, I don't need your reply. If you have any questions, you can entertain yourself in that post. There are no replies from people on Spaceship for that post anymore

Other spaceship user have increased the price of my thousands of domain names by over 100% then published them on Spaceship. Spaceship does not verify ownership,

When Space was first established, users had to verify any domain name they published, but now Spaceship has adopted the same verification mechanism as before for dan.com, which has resulted in my thousands of domain names being published without authorization from other users. And the spaceship has not been verified, allowing others to directly post it to their account for sale

These users are unauthorized in publishing my domain for sale, and they have increased the price of my domain by more than 100%, seriously affecting the sales of my domain on namecheap

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I think you’d be better off in the other thread but what do I know? Yeah people do this and afternic everywhere, its called domaining. Without buying doughmain names
There is no business like this business

These user have seriously affected the display and sales of my domain on Namecheap, Because these users did not authorize me to increase the price of my domain by 100% and publish it on Spaceship.

I am selling my Sedo domain on Afternic and Sedo, and others are selling my Sedo domain on Spaceship at a markup of 100%. Because Sedo's domain list is public, these people can obtain these domain lists, but they do not own them. The domain is not theirs, and they only want to sell the domain on Spaceship and display it for sale through Namecheap. Once the domain name is sold, they will go to Sedo or Afternic to purchase the domain name and transfer it to Namecheap, using empty handed tactics.

The reason for this problem now is that Spaceship has relaxed domain name verification. It's a serious issue. Spaceship no longer rigorously verifies every domain name as before

Those who do this are exploiting loopholes. Both Spaceship and Afternic should ban these users, as they will have many domain names that cannot be delivered. Because the domain names under his account are not his own.

Realize it was directed to OP, but let me offer my perspective.

I sometimes see names I own being listed at Spaceship. At first I thought it was simply I had got a name from expired drop or a closeout, often previous owner does not take it down. But increasingly it seems it is not simply that. A name listed at say $2000 BIN at some other marketplace will appear on Spaceship at about $4000, for example. That provides room that if the name sells on Spaceship, they can buy and make the difference. It hurts the actual seller in that it leads to price confusion on the name.

Now individual sellers, or most of us, do have to verify our names to list on Spaceship, either by TXT verification or by nameservers and using their landers. But there must be some that are able to list somehow without this.

The situation is made worse by the fact that, as of now at least (see below) the individual TXT verification codes that we each have are not accepted by them when we try to list to get the false listing down. Instead it says import failed, and one has to go through a slow process directly with their service to get them taken down (they give a new TXT authorization, you need to go to your registrar, add that one, back to service, they go check, they tell you it is OK, sometimes in minutes sometimes longer, then you take it down and get it listed).

On the positive side, in the most recent update from the CEO (well former or current CEO since acquisition?) Richard as well as reporting a long list of improvements done, does say that they recognize the process for getting incorrect listings down is not where it needs to be, and it is actively on their radar.

I must be missing something, since I don't see why they don't simply use the TXT verification system they already have working, and have automatic verification using it for names that someone has falsely listed. It works well at Sedo and Afternic, and they have it working for names not already falsely listed at Spaceship.

The laborious process means some will not challenge the incorrect listings. I did have them take down a total of 4 names, but it took me (in total) about an hour of time with service, and in one case a two day wait, to accomplish that. Because of the frustration over the process, I have several more that I have since found, but have not yet gone through the manual process.

Whoever is doing these false listings, I hate it. Of course people try the same thing at Afternic, but at least they instituted a soundly working system to automatically verify and get the false listing down.

You're absolutely right.

At the same time, I just received the latest reply from Spaceship that some users can publish other people's domain names without any verification.

Previously, I only listed my domain name in Afternic (I didn't list it in Spaceship) for $10000. Then, when I searched on Namecheap, it showed that it was also $10000 and could be added to Namecheap's shopping cart for purchase.

However, now I've found that my domain name has been published on Spaceship by someone else, and the price has become $20000. If a user searches for this domain name on Namecheap now, it will show that the price is $20000 and then jump to Spaceship for purchase. Obviously, the person who published it wants to earn this $10000 difference. This seriously affects the domain name sales of the true domain owner, as the domain name only costs $10000 and is now being published for $20000 without authorization from others. I could have had a chance to sell this domain name for $10000 on Namecheap, but now it has become $20000, reducing the sales opportunity by 99%. Spaceship allowed this person to publish the domain name without any verification.

This seriously affects the domain name sales of the true domain owner, domains was published to Spaceship by someone else without authorization and was marked up by 100%. This directly led to a decrease of over 99% in the number of domain names I recently sold through the Afternic Sales Alliance (previously, many of the domain names I sold on Afternic were purchased by users through Namecheap, but now it has decreased by 99%).

Spaceship should immediately delete all domain names of these users. The domain names of users who publish other people's domain names without authorization must be deleted, and domain ownership must be verified for these users who publish domain names.

 

[Yanosh]

Actually Spaceship requires domains to have spaceship nameservers in order to verify ownership

It's also possible with TXT records only.

These users publish other people's domain names and publish domain names that do not belong to them, with a 100% markup. Raise the price by 100% and sell it. Then, by displaying and selling on Namecheap, and finally purchasing on Afternic or Sedo, you can earn the price difference

Are you sure that this is the case? Anyone can add a domain to their account (as is standard for all marketplaces) but in my own experience the only way for a domain name to be syndicated to Namecheap is if the domain's ownership is verified.

Here's a domain I added, without verification:

Here's how the domain appears in Namecheap's search:

vs. a domain that is verified:

Which appears like this in Namecheap search:

Do you have an example domain that you can share, which is displaying as for sale on Namecheap despite not being verified?
