DNS to accept smaller portfolios

[TallBloke]

The DomainNameSales.com (DNS) platform is to be incorporated within Frank Schilling's other business Uniregistry.com and it appears domainers with smaller portfolios will also be able to get access in the near future.

Schilling discusses his plans in this comment.

So maybe an alternative to Sedo for some of us?

It's well worth watching/listening to that DomainSherpa video too - especially to listen what Schilling has to say.

or instances where sellers bad-mouth the buyer or treat the buyer poorly and that badmouthing reflects poorly on us because the buyer thinks the seller is a DNS broker.

You should see what some buyers say to sellers.

I think less about humanity for it.

I'm looking at putting my whole portfolio on DNS, but on this page it says "10%" next to BIN landing pages. Does that mean they charge an extra 10% commission on sales on top of the base 15%?

Don't think so.

 

[timter51]

Don't think so.

Right I think I've got it... it's free if you just use enquiry forms (no BIN), 10% if you use BIN forms, and 15% if you use their brokerage service.

Spot on.

How have you found their Escrow process when selling .uk domains? Painless?

I push it all over to Escrow.com (BTW owned by freelancer.com now).

GBP support is suppose to be happening, not yet though.

Last one I sold through DNS used Transpact.com. They are extremely cheap and settled with me same day.

So who gets to decide on payment method? I believe Escrow.com charge an additional $25 on top of commission for international transfers, so it really racks up. Can you even ask for good ol' BACS on DNS, or do they require an escrow service?

You get to decide what payment if your brokering your own domains.

Size of folio?

Size of folio?

350+, all UK but pretty decent across the board. Is 350 still too small??

Could be. Come January this size will walk in (is what I hear).

Took about 4-5 days for them to accept my portfolio (only around 150)

Your request to signup at DomainNameSales.com and InternetTraffic.com has be rejected for the following reasons:

- Too few domains - we are servicing larger domain portfolios at this time

That was for 314 .co.uk and .uk domains :-? Oh well... I'll try again when they launch this new platform.
