Undeveloped.com Experience

[JudgeMind]

Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.

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?

Willing to bet it's 100% that, just search the names on U and if they are listed by someone else, just contact U and ask them to be removed and place into your account. I noticed this on a few names and U took care of it in no time

Thanks for the response...I will send them the list.

it says "you are not allowed to update this domain".

That needs to be updated and made clear.

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.

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

Hi Rob,

Hi Funsky,

When you get the ignored status that means that the domain was already listed in your account. The failes status indicates that our support team has to look into the domain status and move it for you after verifying ownership.

Hi Tom,

We've been asking buyers that mentioned the issue you raise about what caused their negative initial impression. And so far a number of negative threads on Namepros and this rogue review site which we have nothing to do with: https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/undeveloped-com - seem to be the cause of that recent sentiment (the first 350 reviews didn't include the sentiment you refer to).

The three threads they refer to at Namepros we cannot delete and they rank very high in Google which we also can't impact. Even though we've replied in those threads, apparently some people only read the initial post created by the original poster and not our reaction.

We've also requested the review site I mentioned above to delete that entry as we only collect real reviews from our customers via Trustpilot but they refuse to do so and it seems that this tactic is part of their business model. The first review, for example, is clearly fake and they even emailed us to respond to it when it was placed.

Having said this, on the 18th of June we're launching our new platform. We've built parts of the new marketplace (the blockchain) in partnership with IBM (the oldest tech company in the world!). IBM has also created a case study of our new platform which will be published on our launch date.

This partnership but also other improvements we're launching will tackle some of the problems you raise.

Kind regards,

Reza

It now says "coming soon" at Dan.com. Can you confirm this is your new name, @Undeveloped?

Going for that early 90s aesthetic look, too. That's bold.

Hi Embrand, unfortunately I can not share the new name yet. We’ve got some PR agreements in place and to not cause an press embargo break I would like to kindly ask all members to not speculate yet . In Mid-June we’ll announce it directly here together with the launch of the best domain sales and monetization infrastructure ever built.

And that will be just the start of it. All our engineers currently solely focus on the upcoming launch, however, we’ve also worked with external freelancers to work on new projects that will be deployed shortly after our big launch.

Back to work again now, there’s still plenty to do

Kind regards,

Reza

Sorry, I will stop speculating. It is just very exciting what is going on behind the scenes, so it is hard to wait

 

[Mister Funsky]

A very bold statement and I am one of those eagerly waiting to see what you are building. There is certainly room for a clean, responsive, safe and user friendly site that can seamlessly handle both monetization and sales of our assets...can't wait to see it.

@Reza Any plans to lower your 9% commission? That's too much for escrow service, as Undeveloped not refer any clients and all sales is outbound domain type-in clients. Because of that i know many domainers who owns $100k+ domains uses Efty integrated with Escrow as they (Escrow.com) charges only about 2% from the sale.

I thing 5-8% will be fair for Undeveloped. You can create scale, for example for sales up to $10k commission will be 8%, for sales up to 50k is 7%, up to $100k is 6% and over $100k is 5%.

Undeveloped's escrow is 5% ... you only pay 9% when you use their landing pages and the buyer comes from there.

Undeveloped's escrow is 5% ... you only pay 9% when you use their landing pages and the buyer comes from there.

And we also do not need to send in personally identifiable information to be stored on a web server somewhere with no idea who has access, etc... I prefer undeveloped for many reasons, the simple escrow is one of them.

 

[domvault]

can't wait till 18 june to see what undeveloped is bringing up

 

[Anna_M]

Meanwhile big thank you to Undeveloped for my first sale 4 months into domaining.

$588 BIN went smooth like a Rolls-Royce

 

[Jay Ha]

A "speak with the owner of this domain" button on the landers would be nice for both buyers and sellers.

 

[domvault]

so the countdown begins

only 10 more days to go

I sold my first domain last Friday the new owner has it, Undeveloped.com has my money since last Sat. I’m still waiting to be paid by PayPal the method I wanted, but now they say they can only payout $2000 because it’s their policy but I don’t see that anywhere on their site so there they are in fault.

If I had known there was a limit on PayPal I wouldn’t have opened an account, my credit union in Canada said it has to go through several banks and fees along the way and a possibility that it will get stuck in the USA if I try the bank transfer option.

They also have bitcoin and other crypto payments options but that is more for domainers who are trying to hide from paying taxes, and I don’t use them.

It would seem so easy to pay me in 2 payments this one time only, but it looks like they will do what they want since they have my money!! …I’m not sure what to do it looks like legal action is the only answer.
