Undeveloped.com Experience

[JudgeMind]

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

DAN looks great— added more of my portfolio.

 

[Mister Funsky]

Yes, I see the potential with the updated/upgrades to undeveloped/dan.

I didn't jump with both feet into undeveloped because it seemed to be a market or 'clearing house' of domain inventory by the way it described itself on its own pages. Dan is a giant leap forward that in my mind will give even more legitimacy and value to our digital assets.

If they have come up with a clean way to integrate parking revenue/ads, small though it may be compared to the old days, it will help take away the sting of renewal fees.

Thank you Reza and those working to improve one of the ways we have of marketing our domains...the ripples being felt by the OG marketplaces must be huge!

(btw, I have decided not to 'pick' at anything or look too hard as the next 48 to 72 hours will be a shake out period that the coders need to see what is happening in the 'real world'. No matter how much beta or behind the scenes work is done, there is no way to fully see how a site works until it is launched)

Overall, I think it looks great and very professional. It is very nice to see recent sales and total sales on the frontpage.

Maybe increase the size of "the domain name xxx is for sale" and mention the partnership with IBM as someone already suggested.

The press release mentions installments of up to 60 months. Right now in the settings, the upper limit still seems to be 24 months.

I do like the new name, although I think I would simply call it DAN - not DAN.COM. Isn't using the domain extension as part of the brand a bit outdated? Also, they have removed the text beneath the logo. I forgot exactly what it said, but something like "Domains. Securely. Easily". I kind of miss that since DAN.COM in itself does not really indicate that it is a domain marketplace.

Anyway, Reza and team deserve a lot of credit for innovating in this industry.

+1 to this

@Reza Do you still charge 9% for inbound leads and 5% for leads that are not coming from Dan?

The 9% was a big issue for many

 

[UmerK]

So I sold a name, so far the bot has still not sent further instructions for transfer (most probably because its at GD)

The dashboard did not update either as in the total domains, revenue stayed same. Maybe it'll be updated on following day? Who knows.

Also I'm still wondering why it still shows more domains than I actually had listed on UD, perhaps I'll count them all when I'm on PC to see what's wrong.

Good to see the recently added and just sold domains are back on the main page again. One thing I noticed though @Reza, is that when clicking on these and getting their sold page, the similar domains listing below is showing up empty.

Or are you referring to the for sale pages hosted on DAN.COM? If so, that one will be updated within 2 days max for when you redirect your buyers to the page hosted on DAN.COM.

I think this has been done already if my eyes are not deceiving me?

What? Let me LOL here If it was an issue for some just let them use Sedo's landing pages

Why sedo? There are others I believe that don't do escrow but are not charging a commission.

Just asking

Escrow at DAN is 5% . You pay 9% for the landing page + escrow + awesome support = peace of mind and smooth deals.

If someone is to cheap and moans when it comes to paying 9% for this, let them use whatever they want.

Personally I closed quite a few deals at Undeveloped, last one yesterday and I'm always amazed by the smooth and fast service. It's worth more than 9% imo ...

Sedo was just an example as their landing pages are still not mobile friendly in the year of 2019

Recent transactions on homepage is labelled as ''domains you just missed''. It doesn't make it clear that those were sold. That sentence could be some auction that ended without any bid.
I understand the goal of ''domains you just missed'' is to entice buyer into making a decision and buy, hopefully someone here can find the right sentence.

If it's simply labelled as ''Recent Transactions'', with 20 minutes ago, 30 minutes ago, etc.., it's enough to convey trust and credibility.

''The most popular domains this week'' widget on top of the page, that place should be for ''recently sold domains'', it's primary information.

domains added today and most popular domains this week can share the same row as it's secondary information.

The ''Cutting edge technology put to use to create the most transparent, secure & fast domain ownership transfer service. We're the first in our field that has successfully used blockchain technology to create the most reliable, secure and efficient domain trading platform. Our technology results in a faster, less error-prone and above all, a better domain buying & selling experiences for all.''

The technology is nice yes, but keep it short and non-technical. The average buyer doesn't need to be confused with blockchain thinking he will need bitcoin, nor does he need to know that domain trading is prone to error.

339 blockchain transactions with transaction hashes etc.. lots of info

The shorter the homepage, the better.

@undeveloped @Reza

1) Love the rebrand to DAN -- Undeveloped can have a negative connotation in English but DAN is short and powerful
2) Love the new landing pages with the darker green color theme

Issues:

3) What if you need to keep a particluar sale private (NDA, etc.), how do you opt-out of using the new blockchain feature and/or the "recently sold" feed ? There should be a checkbox or something for each name to opt-out.

4) I'm also seeing the issue where the "Your Dan blockchain signature ID" changes every time I reload the page or change pages

Congrats on the launch

Portfolio page.
Won't remember to show 250 domains per page, resets to 25 as soon as you refresh.
I've tried in private browsing too.

The preference changes too, every time you come to portfolio page. Like if you assort them as 'last added' it will automatically change view back to 'views' or whatever the default is.

Same here. This needs to be fixed

 

[DotKing]

DAN looks great! Great name, fresh and neat look. I remember I didn't like Undeveloped name when I first hear about it.
Few issues here and there but all in all - you guys rock! Rare jewel in this industry (where biggest players are usually the worst). Congrats!

@Reza

It seems like I cannot longer connect to the API using undeveloped.com. I updated all my code to use dan.com now and it's working fine but you guys might want to keep access through the old domain available a little bit longer.

Not gonna go into the name choice debate but there are great new features and I think all other marketplaces should be worried. I've always been a fan and with the recent changes it looks like you're lightyears ahead of the competition.

I e-mailed Support about this. They said they've noted it and will resolve it soon.

Congratulations!!! @Reza

I noticed that in both the (Domains added today) and (Domains you just missed) columns, first letters of multiple word domains are no longer capitalized (except that of the first word).

This makes long domains seem ambiguous and unattractive. Kindly rectify this.

Thanks.

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.

Congrats

Love the move Dan is making on the upgrade. I also vote for the old lime green color on landing pages. Should be fairly simple when they have time. Great job Undeveloped team.
