The Official BQB.com Thread

[VURG]

I think I started the first BQB.com auction ever. I'm not sure but it looks like it's up and running.

 

[thebrokenbox]

ah I don't have 50 + domains or a solid iTrader (only 2 so far) since I am so new to this. Do you think I can still be accepted? I have a 5L.com that I would like to sell on there but I can't be accepted if I need 50 + domains.

Hi Rich,

Yes -- you're right, we don't need that camera icon I'll get the developer to get rid of it.

Another quick suggestion Reece...

Although I don't have a problem with people adding small images to their auctions I don't think there is any need to have a little camera icon next to an auction that does have them... For an auction site that sells actual merchandise this is a good idea becuase it is an extra selling tool and there could be multiple photos of an item but it is unessessy clutter for the sale of domains at BQB.

Hi thebrokenbox, I'm primarily looking for established members but if there's some way I can verify your reputation and you're genuinely interested in becoming a member, please feel free to fill out an application.

I approved one new Namepros member today who has zero iTrader -- but he's been a member of eBay with 100% positive feedback for almost 6 years. If you have anything similar to that I could use to verify you, it would be greatly appreciated.

As bad as it may sound, BQB is adopting a "guilty until proven innocent" approach when it comes to new signups -- protecting existing members from scammers is BQB's top priority and something I'm not taking lightly.

Looking good Reece . One suggestion I have is maybe think about limiting the amount of auctions a person can have at a time. Sometimes it seems like the ending soon is flooded by the same person selling ten+ names with no bids on them. Anyhow keep up the good work and good luck .

I'll look into what can be done mate

I don't want to limit anyone from selling on BQB, but perhaps limiting how many of their items appear under "Ending Soon" is something I should look into.

hey reece
iam liking the site
just a few suggestions
-If you can add a few more payment options on the auctions like bank deposit.
-and if the postage section is removed on the listings

 

[-REECE-]

Hey Rick,

Those are excellent suggestions -- thank you

I'll look into getting a "wire transfer option" added immediately. I'll see what I can do about that postage section.

Hello Reece,
i just submited my first domain for sale, the name is intellectuality.net , do you have to review the submission or is it automatic ? cause i don't see it on the listing
thx

Hi Diddie,

BQB is primarily designed for domains under 6 characters in length. By popular request I included a "1 Word Generics" category for extremely strong keywords in any extension, but there isn't currently a category for ordinary domains which don't fit the "short" or "generic" description outline above.

Keyword domains which aren't generic are typically bought by endusers - something which BQB currently has very few of, so I don't think I'd be doing anyone much of a favor by making a category for keyword domains at this time. This position can certainly be reevaluated in the future.

 

[diddie]

I understand now, i just pulled it out from my vault without thinking about BQB being for short domains
thx

ps. i have 2 really nice LLL.ES , are you gonna add .ES ext to foreign LLL ?

I think Reece should stick to only popular extensions (.com, .net, .org, .info etc) until BQB gets more popular.

.de is more popular than .net, .org, .info etc.

Yep, most of us Westerners don't realize how popular .de truly is until we read the cctld section in DN Journal a few times

.de is more popular than .net, .org, .info etc.

I find navigating the site extremely easy and it's very eye-pleasing. Great work Reese!

And thanks for approving my membership, I just listed 2 auctions, a quad premium LLLL.com and a pronouncable.

Cheers!

 

[Idees]

I won my first auction today and I have to say I am very pleased with this marketplace.

The easy payment gateway and message board makes it even more of a stress-free transaction.

Thanks Reece!

Reece, something that has to be addressed to your programmers: if I bid on aname, and somebody else place a higher bids, what happens is that the name disappear from my list unless I had "watch item" in place... a bit annoying ...

Phew! I thought I was going mad when I posted about this problem a while back... Finally someone with the same thing, it wasn't just lack of sleep :D

I really have to look into this problem... Hopefully will have a fix out in June -- it most certainly is annoying and probably hurting final sales prices as well.

You should be able to see it here: http://www.bqb.com/bidding,page,current_bids,section,members_area in the meantime, but I will get this fixed.
