Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
nameservers could bring them direct traffic.
The only way anyone will land on your Undeveloped domain is directly via your URL too. We’ve had this discussion before almost no one is searching the Undeveloped database for names - such traffic is practically nonexistent.
nameservers setuped in the whois could bring customers to them.what do you mean?
direct trafic is typein trafic from url.. u can accomplish this by doing redirect to their url.. u do not need to set nameservers to them.. unless you maybe want some more accurate or extra stats in the graphs or such.. otherwise setting dns to them changes nothing vs doing url redirect to them.. unless im missing somehting here

So you say it is the same for all marketplaces? Is there even a way to know? I had people who bought my name on GD when it was parked with a normal lander with less price...Could it be a matter of trust?
If you’ve followed this thread the way I know - is that I have all the same domains listed at Afternic, Sedo, DomainAgents and Undeveloped.
I use my own landing pages.
About 1500 domains.
I sell like gang busters on all of these platforms except for Undeveloped. I get almost daily offers and weekly closed sales on all of these - except Undeveloped.
At Undeveloped finally recently I got a 10 Euro offer on a domain worth over 100x more than that. That is the only offer or inquiry I have received at Undeveloped.
This thread is about whatever discussion is going on related to undevelopedI thought this thread is about "Undeveloped Experience" not "Let's moan about the 9% fee" or "This marketplace is better than the other just because" ... Some people might be happy paying monthly at Efty, some other paying 20% at GD or coughing 30% at BB depending on their business model. Undeveloped IMHO is very responsive and the guys working there help you big time. Fast payment processing as well, probably the fastest in the industry and this is a big plus. For example I had a domain sold in monthly instalments and the buyer missed the payment deadline once, I just got in touch with Simon, he contacted the buyer, don't know what he told him but from then on the buyer always paid on time. This for me worth the 9% fee alone since Undeveloped spent their time and skills to make sure I receive the payment on time.
@Undeveloped , is there any way to turn off the "Make an Offer" thing at the bottom of the "Buy Now" box? Would be great if we would be able to turn that on or off per each domain. Yesterday I negotiated with a potential buyer via email, we pretty much agreed on price, then he went to the domain landing page, saw the "Make an Offer" option and made me a much lower offer (which I obviously rejected). He stopped replying to emails since then so just the fact that he saw the "Make an Offer" option was a deal breaker in this case.
Hi, question:
We are an EU based company. Our individual company name is a registered trade mark (registered in June 2018). The Domain with the exact name expired a few days ago and someone grabbed it and sent us an email if we want to buy it for a certain price. We said yes and now it is being offered on undeveloper for almost the 6x of the price. The trademark was registered by our law company. Before we involve our law company I wanted to ask if there is another way - maybe with the help of Reza - to find a solution on this. Thanks

@Undeveloped
I had my first sale a day ago with you.. just some offers before that.. and couple failed sales cause I accepted offer from buyer.. versus this offer being accepted by buyer.. which is always better sign.. for finalization etc..
so my question is.. I know some markets, when buyer does buynow or accepts offer from seller.. ask for immediate checkout/payment.. .is this also how you function ? or can they pay later after doing buynow or accepting offer? I think gd auctions is one such place where they need to pay imediately.. maybe some others too not sure..
and if this isn't how you do it.. then do you consider doing it this way, to increase odds of some sales getting paid actually?
also, once buyer makes payment, do you spend some days verifiying payment before you inform seller payment is made and tell him to begin transfer? if so, what is that delay

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?
Just completed my first sale through Undeveloped and super impressed with the smoothness and speed of the transaction. Will be moving more of my names there very soon
what makes undeveloped better than efty? explain please
could you explain us how works this option exactly ?
When i revoke my counter, could i make a new one or accept the previous buyer offer ?
Really love the platform (especially the clear UI, landing pages, installment plans, fast support), but any plans on adding a small provision to your Terms of Service to protect your SELLERS?
For example, look at what SEDO has in the default sales agreement between buyers and sellers every time there is a sale:
"The BUYER understands and agrees that it is their sole responsibility and duty to perform all necessary due diligence before entering into this agreement to buy the Purchase Object, including research of fitness for particular intended uses, trademark clearance, or anything that could inhibit their future use and enjoyment of the Purchase Object."
Unfortunately I haven't found anything like that in Undeveloped's Terms of Service. In your TOS the burden seems to fall almost entirely on the seller. It seems like a reasonable provision to put some responsibility on buyers too, especially considering trademark/intellectual property law is not black and white and varies all around the world and also depends on how the BUYER ultimately "uses" the domain. It's probably something most sellers don't even consider but I bet they'd appreciate it if they understood the potential consequences.
Just a suggestion since I really like the platform and hope to continue using it for a long time!
Hi RezaHi KMD,
Did you contact our support? If you send me a personal message via this forum I can also review the case and see if there's anything we can do.
Kind regards,
Reza
So it’s 9% for a brokered sale at Undeveloped where they get on the phone and work the buyer like they do at Afternic? Including that Undeveloped processes the payments?
Or is it 15% for brokered sales at Undeveloped?
Stop spreading false information. Undeveloped's commission was lowered to 9% from 15% a couple of months ago to celebrate our DAN (Domain Automation Network) initiative.
We never charge any other additional fees. So no additional pay-out fees, we charge no minimum fee, no bank wire fees (we pay 50% of the fees charged by our banks and 50% is to be paid by the seller (average $9)), no Paypal payout fees (Undeveloped pays 2% extra commission to Paypal to perform mass-payouts or we send a personal payment where Undeveloped again takes care of the Paypal payout fees).
And we offer the above, not by trimming our escrow service or by only accepting low-cost bank wires, for example. We offer almost all payment processing methods in the world to ensure your buyers can pay easily and smoothly with their popular local option. All these payment processing methods charge a variable commission and that's also covered in the 9% commission.
Name me 1 competitor of ours that has the above Pro Sellers policy and I'll send you a nice bottle of wine or cake .
Kind regards,
Reza
Was this Euro conversion always showing underneath the USD price for US-based visitors?
If I'm not mistaken, it's new, and I'm wondering what the purpose of showing it in the US is.
