The next DAN.com...

[scithe]

So I am surprised I haven't heard yet but I must say, I am surprised no one has tried to take DAN's place.

I feel like setting up the marketplace itself wouldn't be too bad. It would really be the risk involved with processing payments and transferring domains.

I am just surprised that 10 websites didn't pop up offering 4%/9% commissions as soon as GoDaddy announced the new pricing schemes for their platforms.

Thank you, we will do everything possible to serve the community. We will improve DaaZ every day to be one of the best marketplaces.

What are the payout options you offer on Daaz?

Operating costs are very higher to support BTC for number of reasons and also regulations are also getting tighter for marketplaces accepting BTC. With 5% success fee its not viable model as loosing 5% for each sale.

We are exploring all possible options to bring the support , we will announce the details in the right time.

Thanks for the reply, and I can see that Bitcoin's volatility could be a problem if you are accepting payments. I use domain name sales as one means of increasing my Bitcoin savings, and I would happily accept a 5% charge for the convenince Bitcoin offers when making international payments. I had a recent enquiry from Godaddy who purported to have a client interested in my G8S.com name. I wanted half a Bitcoin for it, but they refused to discuss any payment other than US dollars. I was surprised thatr an organisation the size of Godaddy would limit itself to the declinuing and unpopular dollar in these changing times. I would have accepted Sterling at a slightly higher price, but they insisted on US diollars for the sale.

Do they still payout via PayPal or Payoneer only (or wise)? When will they do direct bank transfers? Are their payouts automatic yet?

Do they still payout via PayPal or Payoneer only (or wise)? When will they do direct bank transfers? Are their payouts automatic yet?

Good question.

Bank Transfer (I use a Wise account), PayPal, Bitcoin.

What's the difference between using Wise vs using regular ACH transfer? What does Wise do?

Wise is for international transfers. If you're US-based then it probably doesn't make much difference. But for us who aren't in the US, it means we can have a USD account and then when we convert to our local currency it is done at mid-market rates and fees are vastly reduced compared to using the local banks. It saves me a heap in fees and better exchange rates. Essentially Wise gives me the ability to do an ACH transfer even though I'm not in the US.

I see. Interesting. Thanks.

Dynadots market place is pretty good. I havent used Dan since they were bought by afternic.
I only ran one auction on dynadot, and while it wasnt a great name I wanted it to do a little better.
I wish another player would come up like Dan as well, that said my sales from dynadot and afternic have been better than dan, but least it had traffic numbers (and did have a few sales there
