I’ve been using Domain Name Sales<\/strong><\/a> to both park and sell domain names, ever since I moved my entire portfolio away from Sedo<\/strong><\/a> three years ago.<\/p>\n

Since then, I’ve successfully completed numerous domain sales, utilizing several different escrow services or directly; the common denominator<\/strong> is that the lander has been that of DNS.<\/p>\n

For the most part, I’ve faced very few issues, some of which were temporary glitches. Others, were promptly addressed<\/strong> by the Domain Name Sales team, and naturally, there are a few outstanding issues.<\/p>\n

However, I have yet to find a platform that matches every benefit that DNS provides to domain investors that are seeking to sell their domain portfolios.<\/p>\n

An issue I’d like to bring to the attention of both the DNS team and users of the platform, is that of confusion about the platform when quotes are sent out.<\/p>\n

It seems that a number of inquiries arrive after a search of the DNS inventory<\/strong>. Other times, the similarity of the landing pages seems to indicate that domains are owned by the same entity, DNS.<\/p>\n

A buyer referenced to me another domain, owned by a company also using DNS, and wanted a combined quote. I had to explain that we are two separate entities and not related<\/strong>, despite using the services of the same domain selling venue.<\/p>\n

In a related issue, some DNS brokers have made reference of me as their “colleague<\/em>” to the buyer, when I pass an unresponsive inquiry to them. While I’m flattered<\/strong> by that reference, it has the potential to create further confusion as to who owns the domain.<\/p>\n

When searching through the Domain Name Sales inventory, the contact information of DNS is displayed, regardless of the setting to auto-broker. This can also complicate things, despite the good intentions<\/strong> of DNS to promote matching domains. Some of us simply want to exert a tighter control on both the language used, and the manner that quotes are provided and sales are conducted.<\/p>\n

If I may add one more item I’d like to see addressed, it’s the long-standing “free quote” reference, that – to me –<\/em> indicates the expectation<\/strong> by the person it’s sent to for a low\/discounted<\/strong> rate. The word “Free” should not be used<\/strong> in reference to anything that is eventually tied to a price, as far as I’m concerned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
