Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
I'm completely sick of people not paying for domains on undeveloped. I feel that undveloped should give control to the seller to cancel transactions when they ask to. There should be a button or something @Undeveloped I've said tons of good things about your company everywhere recommended you to all my peers. but I'm fuming mad that I cant control when I want to cancel. If the buyer doesnt pay in a few days or the day he says he will I should be able to cancel.I dont want to be held up for weeks this is nonsense
Not sure if it's been explained here already.....but I can't seem to figure out how to get the custom Background/picture images on my undeveloped landers...mine is just all basic White background....how do you change it to show related images ?
Thanks
So, I've had many hundreds of domains listed on U for a couple of years now and today I tried to add 25 or so I had missed/skipped in the past and only about 2/3 made it.
Most of the ones that didn't get imported said 'ignored' and a few others said 'failed' and when the question mark is hovered it says "you are not allowed to update this domain". The name is not in my portfolio so of course I can not update it.
I assume some of them may erroneously be listed in someone else's account...can anyone shed light on this for me?

1-
https://www.
in your landers are giving ssl errors. Please fix it.
2-
in your landers and DNS, if possible, please redirect all non-existing subdomains (catchall 301 redirect + wildcard A record in DNS) to the landing page. So that traffic is not wasted.
3-
Please allow users to add statcounter to landing pages. Namesilo landing pages have an option to add statcounter. I avoid using anayltics.
Under the 'Make Offer' button, how about a small text link that reads:
"How Much Should I Offer?"
And under this link can be a page informing domain buyers about the value of domains and what domains usually sell for, historic sales, etc. A lot of regular people have no idea what domain names are bought and sold for, and when they see a blank 'Make Offer' option with no Buy Now price, they don't know whether to offer $10 or $1000 and they usually opt-in to lowball or either pass-up on making an offer all-together.
Also, I read a lot of people saying in their TrustPilot feedback that they were "weary" or "concerned" with buying. I think if you guys added a video on the landing pages actually explaining what you do, how the buying process works, how easy it is, and listed all of your contact info within it (Phone number, twitter/facebook/social media accounts) - it would really advertise and showcase your company's transparency which will add trust and convert more buyers.
If you'd like to see an example of a video, go to BuyDomains.com, HugeDomains, or any of the successful brandable marketplaces (BrandBucket,BrandRoot, etc) They *all* have short 3 minute videos that buyers can watch. They must have them for a reason and the proof is in the pudding...
My 2 cents, hope to see change. And Good Job @ Undeveloped.
@Undeveloped
I sold a domain yesterday at Undeveloped.com and i was looking forward to a swift transaction.
This was my first sale at Undeveloped and what i realized was, the experience at Undeveloped could be more user friendly and optimized, if you had a real-time chat option, where we could have all the details of escrow sorted out over a few mins of conversation, instead of the hours of waiting, for the escrow agent's response, that comes with the current experience.
On a lighter note, you should thank your lucky stars you didnt had a sale on a weekend like me.
Either there is independent traffic at undeveloped or there is not. I have all my domains posted at Uniregistry (do not use their landing pages), and finally, very recently I got one inquiry there. That tells me that there are very few people searching for domains at UR. However as I mentioned, at Afternic, SEDO and DomainAgents, I get offers all the time, which means that many people are searching for domains at those sites and their partners.
I'm a salesman, you gotta be full of the joys of spring no matter what sort of customers come at you or what they say.
Not sure I understand the technical innovations, that'll have to wait further explanations and examples of use.
I don't like the design change. Its basically the same but worse. Worse font, many interface elements look ruined as if someone just played with styles for the sake of changing something. The color scheme is also worse. The logo/icon is better though, that circle was kinda lame.
Also, each time the seller dashboard is reloaded, there is a new "Dan blockchain signature ID". Isn't this supposed to be like permanent?
Curious how many people have completed sales in the five figure range and above at Undeveloped?
I see many sales posted here on NamePros in the sub 5K range but not nearly as many above that.
Any idea why? Are they simply not happening or just not getting reported? Is it buyer confidence as perhaps they prefer a larger marketplace like Afternic/GD instead when spending more on a domain?
I know @Federer has commented about this in the past..."We make a alot of €100-€500 sales via Undev (inbound) - but we rarely sell .COMs in the low-mid $x,xxx sales range there".
Undeveloped is a great platform and I have most of my inventory pointed there however I'm curious what others think about this...
It now says "coming soon" at Dan.com. Can you confirm this is your new name, @Undeveloped?
Using Transferwise or similar might be a solution.
Also, when you start to receive larger payments through Paypal, Paypal normally want to re-verify you, or if you go over whatever the annual receiving threshold is for your country.
Selling a domain in installments on Undev would also be a way to keep each payment under 2k.
Yes, there has been bigger sales more than $XXX on Undeveloped.So far what I have observed from the reported sales on NP, only $XXX sales happens via undeveloped. Have not seen any big sale coming from there. Anyone else also feeling the same?
@Undeveloped should try focus more on checkout pages. I ve seen two sellers talked about their buyers reaching out to them to complain about getting the error "oops" during checkout or during make offer. I m not sure if this is true but if it is, its going to hurt sellers and possibly make them start changing there nameservers away from undeveloped.
And if this is true, i can only imagine how many deals have been lost during that time, cos very few buyers will wanna come back after experiencing such
By the way, did nobody notice the entirely revamped search and the seller profiles?
If you (1) had your own landing page before, and (2) receive the same or similar traffic once you start using someone else's (such as Undeveloped's) landing page for the same domain, then you may assume the traffic is legitimate. Otherwise, any increase consists of 'bots. Undeveloped has no organic, meaningful traffic to speak of for its site in general, as far as people going there to search for domains.
Because if a sudden increase in traffic for a given landing page newly planted at Undeveloped were legitimate, that would mean that tons of people are scouring the Undeveloped site searching / looking for domains in general, which is not the case, and is gainsaid by the data from my own experience.
I think for 9% Undeveloped just lets you use their landing pages and payment processing service. No broker help.
So I suppose that means that on all such Undeveloped transactions seller must pay all fees? Or is there a way for buyer to pay some of that 9%? (the payment processing portion).
Are there extra fees beyond the 9% that buyer must pay? Such as if he pays with credit card?
