Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
Yes I found a name is removed from the stats too. I have 99 listed, then yesterday one disappeared. I could not find which one it is, so I asked support. I was told something that did not make sense to me. They told me back in May I sold a name and it was in the list ...huh? It was not at all I am 100% and I added many names after that sale and the stats were O.K. So not sure what happened but support did not have clear conclusive answer. I was asked if I have a list to actually check the list but I dont have any list since I did not download it before.I was checking my names today and saw I have 597 for sale.
Okay, I may be wrong, but for the past few days I am pretty sure it was 598. It's been in my head because every time I go to the dashboard I keep seeing the same numbers since last week. All other numbers are the same, but maybe not this one.
Its only landers, so there is no risk of actually losing a domain name, but I cannot get over the 597 thing.
No matter where I poke around, I dont see signs of a sale or something "in play". But the fact stats are updating weird and things like sort order or max number of items listed doesn't "stick", this 597 thing bugs me.
Anybody see this yet ? It's not a big issue even if it is real, but I cant find anywhere I deleted a name nor a name sold or in progress of something.
Please "Dan" fix all the broken stuff before you go after bigger goals. I may be totally wrong about the 597 thing, but its been days since we had proper stats or settings sticking like they should.
25 per page is the default. At the top of the title for domains list by your right where it shows 25 per page, if you click on it you will have some options to view up to a maximum of 250 per page1. Now visits are updating again but still stuck with the '25 per page' view.
The issue is that it keeps resetting to 25 whenever you visit other parts of the dashboard. Before it was not like that.25 per page is the default.

I had another sell, the bot didn't give me an option to choose from transfer/push instead it was the same message Simon used to send before DAN.
Is this normal or how bot is supposed to work? @Reza
That depends on a number of variables:
1: The registrar of the domain
2: Registration date of the domain
3: The extension
4: Does the domain have a transfer lock yes or no
And a number of other variables. DAN can only work automatically if the criteria for it to kick in are present.
''Most of transfer locks are policy based, if registrars agree to lift those''.Most of the transfer locks are policy based, if registrars agree to lift those under specific circumstanced (a sale transaction for example) better processes can be accomplished.
Just noticed today
-The Last 2 names I add today to my portfolio with landers and set DNS to the usual undeveloped ....The landers show as "Not Secure " when visited ?
Is this something on my end of Dan?
Thanks
it takes a little while to get https on new additions, dont worry
Hello @Reza can you please verify Dynadot escrow account name: dan
During today's transfer first I received a message from bot saying name: uamsterdamnl, then bot changed it to: dan
Which one is correct and how can I actually verify if the receiver is the one I want?
It probably depends on the registrant side, in the end, dan can only speed up the process on their end, if the registrant doesn't want to meet in the middle (let's hope in the future) they can't do anything.Update: OK, Simon replied that correct name is indeed: dan
However I must say I'm a bit disappointed by the speed of the transfer. It certainly isn't automated.
I've made a push at Dynadot and 12 hours later the domain is still pending?
Dynadot said that process is waiting for a confirmation from the receiver's account (Dan.com).
Obviously I can't get paid since its still processing and the buyer is waiting for his domain.
Honestly not so great experience so far.
Hi All,
I see some confusion about what DAN offers today and which steps are required to make DAN work for all domains. Please read our blog post for in-depth explanation about what DAN offers today, which minefields it has to navigate and where we're headed to: https://blog.undeveloped.com/a-big-leap-forward-3a3cc59ed418
Here's also a snapshot of a recent Q&A between me and OnlineDomain which sheds some light on what DAN can and can't do:
You say that domains managed in the DAN network are going to be transferred instantly. Will that only be true on the DAN registrar or on all registrars using your API?
Answer: For which domains we can offer 100% automated escrow always depends on third parties. For example .nl, .eu, .de transfers are done instantly and 100% automatically at DAN at the moment. For .com’s it’s more complicated due to the poorly designed policy that keeps the secondary market locked at the moment. When the domain sold itself can transfer freely, DAN can handle the transfers automated. If a domain is locked by the registrar, we have a fallback process in place and have automated the process to facilitate a domain push at the managing registrar.
Do you intent to circumvent ICANN’s policy and the 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock? How?
Answer: There’s a method that we tested which works to circumvent ICANN policy, however, we want to play the game nicely and so haven’t implemented that method. In the coming time we’ll organize talks with ICANN, if they want to hear us out to propose a new process for sellers. Currently, ICANN and registrars are holding our domains hostage and that has to stop. As a domain owner, you should at all times be able to unlock and transfer a domain. This is a simple but necessary feature to be introduced sooner than later. In our blog post I already shared best use cases of how non-ICANN aligned extensions have solved this issue and they are thriving. So all TLD operators should have a sense of urgency to change the old processes as the primary market has reached a certain cap in terms of growth, while the secondary market is becoming more often the primary market for the next generation businesses.
Amazon is offering a 2-hour delivery service for physical products, how come a digital product like domains cannot have the opportunity to navigate freely from one registrar & owner to another instantly?

Also, note that the new platform and the DAN bot just launched. We're still ironing out some remaining issues which are currently delaying some transactions.
Kind regards,
Reza
Dear @Reza, with all the comments and suggestions we all have towards you I think it's only fair to say BIG thanks to you & Undeveloped team. Thanks for trying to tackle some of the industry issues and to make a sales platform for domainers which creates certain level of competition to Sedo, GD, etc. Keep pushing hard!
My sales going good on undeveloped but i have a little issue regarding my payout in my bank Dan sent payment 19 june to my bank but still not in my bank account.
