who has experience domain missing at Unstoppabledomains? I sold a domain at afternic and want to transfer but couldn't find the name on my portfolio. I have contacted Unstp domains customers service, they said they will fix it. I wonder how long it will take for them fix it. Just afraid of afternic transaction cancellation

When you check the name on whois, does it show it is registered at unstoppable?

You may need to create a thread on Namepros and tag them there and some other top leaders.

if this cheap scammer put effort he's putting in his scamming schemes, if he put such effort in domaining, learning, reading and running researchs, he would have made alot of sales. Sure his cup will full one day.

The guy is not a cheap scammer o! He has scammed alot of persons on Nairaland of huge sums of money.

Just do a search of his number on Nairaland, you will be amazed the number of complaints spanning across diverse threads.

what baffles me is how he is able to be in so many threads that has to do with money, buying or selling

The day he will be caught, you will now find out he/she has no parent or parent is very sick or extremely poor, they will begin to beg

This guy has caused alot of peeps pain on nairaland

Bunch of unprofessional soldiers. Use drone to comb the place.... Clowns

Drones can be spotted.

If they are really serious, Pay Foreign Firms/Government who can provide Satellite imagery with heat signatures, or thermal infrared (IR) imagery.

Get their position and send in a rescue team.

They will tell you there is no money but they have money to embezzle.

narite:
Hahahahahaha…….

Seeing that you went back to remove your condescending remark but still leaving the whole message….Makes me feels you have no intentions to hurt his feelings but someone who desperately really want to pass across his/her very strong opinion and hoping it is well received.

Lyke is our hero and only very few of us will be bold enough to say this, assuming we have it in our minds.

Your message sounded provoking to me at first but I think I get the whole the thing now.

IK trained me too!

Most of his trainees that are still in the business, built on what they were taught, developed their own strategies and are still making tweaks.

Even those who didnt get trained by him still owe him their sucess because of this thread, which would not have existed without his input.

I sold ebook on domaining at some point but IK has never sold an ebook(at least to the best of my knowledge). He has freely shared loads of info here on this thread. Alot of persons would have sold the knowledge.

It is the joy of every teacher to see that their students are doing very well.

Even with the edited message, what is left is still insulting?

who is he to determine which level IK should be in?

who is he to say IK ought to have left Geo Domains?

Does he know the effect of having multiple $100 sales in a month?

It is this disrespectful and toxic attitude that made alot of folks stop sharing their sales or making contributions. If he was remorseful, he would have deleted the whole message.

In domaining, find out what works for you and stick to it. if you are unwilling to learn from others or dont see sense in their own strategy, keep it to yourself.

IamNat:
Please, I have applied through the NSE route, when am I likely to get certified?

Please can you tell me about this route approach.

how does one go about this

viktor88:
Spam

He spoke based on his observation, to evade spam, try www. WillThisWork .com

This will never be seen as a link.

I usually include my domain in my mail but i use a format that doesnt make it a link

JapaToDNext:
the guy just said his mind

Even looking at the number of the pages, bro has given up

If na u, no be shortcut u go look for

Attitude is everything in life.

In looking for shortcut, is there any reason why you cant ask politely?

BOOKWORMLUX:
Looking for someone that's dedicated for outbound @ #50k per month
Whether the names sell or not, your #50k is secured
But when it sells, you're not getting anything from it.
For now I have leads available for over 50 of the domains

If you're okay with the terms, DM

You are literally telling people you will place them on salary for free.

Where is the incentive for putting in the work?

if they dont lift a finger, they get 50k. whether the name sells or not and if it sells, they get nothing

so tell me why they should put in any effort?

iykepromotions:
In summary use only BIN or BIN +LTO at Godaddy/Afternic

Other marketplaces, use BIN + Make an offer.

It is the why i didnt get!

iykepromotions:
One of the faster way to sell at afternic;

Buy now only or buy now +LTO (if priced 4 figures)

Don't use buy now + make an offer. Yes. From experience Why? Godaddy has fixed price in most of their products or services

Yes other marketplaces, use option buy now + make an offer.

Best wishes.

Please can you explain this further. I dont quite get the bolded

Potvalor:
Isn't the answer to your question quite obvious?
Well, it is US-based Lottery services/National Prize catalog for first combo and HVAC/Mechanical services for the other.

You need to work on your attitude if you want to go far in this quest.

Infact in any quest in life. You should have an open mind, a learners mindset.

You are just starting out, you can't afford to be sacarstic

Potvalor:
I just bought my first domains (4 names for a start) to start my portfolio.
Didn't do much research, but I think the names are good for a start:
usprizes (dot) com
usaprizes (dot) com &
creekmechanical (dot) com

The 4th one is for my personal brand, but I would like to add more new names with time. I bought them via Unstoppable for $5 each today, so I guess I will have to wait out the 60-day holding period for fast transfer to kick in? (I’ve listed them already on Afternic)

Also, thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge about this domain business. I'm only trying it out as a side hustle for possible new income stream & I’ve learnt a lot already from reading through this thread. Gracias!

What is the use case for these names?

Which business or service do you see using these names?

Nathansmith:
His lack of contribution to the thread shouldn't be a reason not to provide assistance, if you or anyone else have had similar issues.

Solid and deserved criticism for the guy, though.

Take it from me, he is not seeking assistance.

He knows what he is doing.

tranxo:
Boss!

After reading your post, I deleted my own reply. Enough said

Respect!

It is very annoying.

HustlingHustler:
Please, who has experienced tax issue with Afternic or is it because the payout amount is too big?
I have been receiving payment from Afternic for years without this type of issue
What is the likely solution?

How have you contributed to this thread?

I have gone through your profile, it is all about questions(taking) and not giving

why didnt you ask Afternic support? why are you asking us? Did you share the sales/parking that accured that amount to you?

or its a bait, to get people to flood your DM

shalom4eva:
If you applied for Maintenance supervisor, Mechanical Lead, or Senior operator at Savannah Energy, just know the positions have been filled already, otilor

Pls do you have much info about this company?

grandstar:
Is it only Namecheap that are bloody thieves?

They tell you initial registration cost is $9.89 (a random) and renewal is $12.98.

However, when it comes time for the renewal, it ia $18.38! This is daylight robbery

The one that's really pissing me off is a dot online.

Cost of registration was like $1 and renewal was to be $2.90 or so.

Just to see renewal at $28.98!

This is ungodly. It is extremely deceitful. Please note that there are domain names I personally use for my website or other things. I am seething here.

What are your horror stories if you have any.

In addition, are there any registrars out there that keep to their word?

You registered a name for $1, you want to pay $3 for renewal after one year?

was it a Charitable Registrar you used?

You didn't read the T&C properly!

NovaraPacks:
Are these roles paid

No, It is not a paid role. it like a volunteer scheme where you acquire experience

bizbro:
10 days hold I think…

Combined YP,D7, LE leads.

More sales to all.

Congrats, which one is D7?

bizbro:
Two responses; one yes and one “we just don’t need it right now”.

The one that said yes,

Hello,
I am open to offers, care to make an offer?

bizbro:
Endusers will say “ I’m interested” or “how much” only to ignore me after answering them. My prices no reach $200 sef. What am I doing wrong

As for how much, give them say 2days, do a followup

Hello,
Is pricing an issue? I am open to offers

if the pricing was an issue and they are really interested, they will make an offer


Sometimes, they didnt see the mail, other times they are busy or traveled out of state or country etc

End users also have lives and are not exempt from everyday issues of life that may prevent them from responding to mails or checking mails

Brandconsultany:
"no thanks it sounds like a little child's website I'm not interested" I outbounded BigDogMovers.com and a buyer gave the above quoted response so I responded with the attached image. What do you advice I do next?

Next time dont use screenshot from your Afternic panel. if you have to use appraisal, see my the attached screenshot.

How do you justify $1988 BIN price to an end user when Godaddy evaluation you are using for justification is saying the name is worth $1203?

In your same screenshot, 3 names sold for $350, $20 and $777, why should he buy your own for $1988

JAPAHTML:
we all know how slow and dull Afternic can be
So there's an upgrade no doubt

Registering a name on GoDaddy sef wont help you if the buyer wants the name elsewhere. I once had to wait for the 60days unlock, buyer wanted name at network solution, meanwhile my name was registered on Godaddy. I had to wait.

For another name, I was asked to push to GoDaddy holding account on Epik. At the end it is the buyer that determines whether push will work or not.

These screenshots are from 2020. the last screenshot will show you that afternic has always accepted push if the buyer agrees to it and most times, you will be the ones to ask afternic if a push is possible.

iykepromotions:
Decided to make this mini sale to confirm afternic's claim of accepting a domain push. And yes, the request was honored. Regd - $6.99 @ dynadot

Hold time; 5 days
Pushed and got paid yesterday. That was swift unlike them before.

So You can list your one day old domain now and get paid if sold before 60 days.... But make sure it's registered with a top registrar like dynadot.

The above is on the condition that the Buyer accepts to receive the domain at the registrar where the domain is registered.

This isnt new, Afternic as always done this.

JAPAHTML:
Spaceship is coming for them

We all are excited for spaceship, the question is: Are the buyers excited for Spaceship? I sold more names on DAN distribution network than on DAN directly.

Nothing beats the American trust for Godaddy

JAPAHTML:
I know I was asking to know if someone have successfully pushed to Afternic before, Cos e be like everybody just dey wait for 60 days lock to be over

Next time I will Initiate the push, the buyer might accept it and that's a win win

There is nothing new in the Chat, it has always been like that. The issue is that 90% of buyers will choose to wait, that is why you see most people wait for the unlock.

DAN was different, You push the name to them while the buyer waits for it to unlock. Since the domain is safely with DAN, they pay you.

If only Afternic, can adopt this model

CapitalBank:
I have not checked o. They haven't even sent receipt.

How much did you pay for in dollars?

How much was deducted from your account in Naira

Which bank please

Senkasa:
Buying is not always the issue.. Selling is the bigger problem. Have you sold a domain name before? Be sincere

Apart from Attitude problem, the other issue you have and why u haven't sold your 7 names is RESEARCH

A simple research would have saved you from asking the above question. A simple research would have shown you the right question to ask him

A simple research will show you what kind of name to buy, how to go about the outbound, time to outbound etc


I have never been a fan of read from Page 1, in your Case, i make an exception

If you want to succeed in this business, start reading the thread from Page 1

Do note, the above was written with all scincerity

Easyinfoguide:
You’re right, bro. It’s like every move we make now, there’s one government checkpoint or revenue angle waiting.

Me I just quietly sorted mine this year — didn’t wait until police drama showed up. I realized it’s better to prepare than explain.

The process dey somehow at first, but once you understand am well, it’s not as scary. Nigeria na cruise and survival mixed together. 😅

why am i always getting HTTP Error 404 ?

Learner47:
Have you seen Fruits/co? @therealMcCain

See what those guys are doing! I still think European guy's understand this thing more than the American folks. Even DAN was European company.

Last time I checked no Nigerian support yet.

Just hearing about them for the 1st time. I need a marketplace that works for buyers and not much of a seller cos na the buyer be the koko.

I believe Afternic will make more improvements. Their payout time has become faster.

Not that i love them like that o but for now, it is what works for me

id911:
@Richardomatic Next time use Spaceship marketplace especially for domain name you registered there. There's an option for crypto payouts. Only 5% charge on sales both domain registered on spaceship and external. They also offer push for external domain sold on their platform but still within 60 days lock.

Congrats on your sale!

On a personal note, I have choosen to remain with Afternic due to Godaddy acceptability. 100% of my targets are Americans and they trust Godaddy very well.

I looked at my past sales on Dan, more sales occured on Afternic Distribution than on DAN directly.

I tried Atom but The sales came from Afternic.

So I resolved to Stay with Afternic and hope they keep improving.


one major area they are lacking is lack of notification on offers that have been made.

Learner47:
Seems like they're the real deal. How about 'lead import'.

E no easy to be outbounder na so you go dey hussle Landers..

This lead import, Afternic is lacking here.

No one has used my custom checkout link, they always go buy direct. I feel its because they don't trust the source after all, you aren't meant to click a link from unknown source.

If it was coming from a Godaddy Brand source, I think more buyers will be relaxed and reassured that it is safe.
