Because I've personally run into so many issues using Flippa's website (and have gotten little help from Flippa's support staff), I thought it might be beneficial to start a thread where some of these issues can be brought to Flippa's attention. In the perhaps vein hope that Flippa will do something to rectify the problems, instead of just sending someone here to discuss rainbows and unicorns and how beautiful the stars were last night.
It doesn't make sense to me how one of the leading companies in the domaining industry can have such an incompetent website. It results in the loss of sales, affecting buyers, sellers, and Flippa themselves in lost success fees.
Seriously Flippa, the next time you have a meeting, please consider hiring some programmers to fix some of the problems at your website. Everyone will win! No one will loose. Only good can come from it.
Let me begin with my most recent issue.
#1. Someone bought a domain from me at Flippa and payed with PayPal. Flippa was aware of the fact that payment had been made, because they immediately charged my PayPal account for their success fee. Fair enough. But now, please give me the option to leave feedback. It's obvious that Flippa's right hand knows that the payment has been made. Now where's the left hand? Is it picking Flippa's nose? I'm not even going to contact support because I never heard back from Flippa the last few times I did. Which leads me to my next suggestion.
#2. Get back to people! ESPECIALLY when their reason for contacting you is because your website isn't functioning the way it should be, if it was coded within the last 15 years by any other company than the one Obama would hire to build a healthcare website.
#3. I've mentioned this one many times. Let's say you reg a new domain and go to list it at Flippa. The confirmation email gets sent, and you do what you need to do to confirm that you're the owner of it. All is well, it seems. But then your listing never shows up. Why? Because it was already listed at Flippa, by a different owner. You'd think the fact that you just proved you were the owner of it would be enough to have Flippa delete the old listing and create a new listing with the updated information. But that's not how Flippa rolls.
Seriously, Flippa. We're talking about 20 lines of code at the most. What is stopping you from fixing this problem? It's costing you money. Maybe that's what you need to tell to the Flippa Grand Poobah. These issues are costing Flippa money. They are literally decreasing the net-worth of Flippa officers and stockholders. And they're driving me crazy, for whatever that's worth.
To other namepros members: I suggest you add your thoughts and opinions here, because once again, EVERYONE would benefit if Flippa were to fix some of the problems at their website. There is absolutely no one who would say, "Damn it! Now Flippa's website is working the way it's supposed to! I'm going to sell my names at Sedo, until Flippa brings back the annoying issues at its website, irritating me like cheatgrass in my socks."
Maybe if enough people express their desire to see the Flippa website work the way it's supposed to, the collective voice will penetrate the wad of earwax in Flippa's ear, and Flippa will let its programmers work for an hour or two to fix some problems and in doing so make the world a better place, if only in some small way.
Thanks!
