OnlineDomain.com Domain Name News & Opinions
I am really angry because I post all these sales everyday and once in a while something like this happens and I don’t know what the f*ck is going on. I know that a lot has happened in the past and a lot is happening everyday but this kind of stupidity from these con men and this kind of indifference from Snapnames is beyond me: iWire.com Winning Bidder For $7,777 Tries To Sell The Domain Before He Pays For It At Snapnames Have they suspended this snapnames account yet? What the f*ck are they waiting? I am not the only one that got that email.
I came across this article called “How to Dodge Domain Squatters”. Read what it says and understand what the above average people know about domain names.
Here is a peak at what I do month after month: September: My 639 Domain Name Renewals And 118 Drops (15.6%)
Here is my latest poll: “Are You Renewing Your New gTLD Domains?“. You can vote here if you want:

This way we all end up paying high price for all names we have won so far. Snapnames must ban those users and take necessary steps to make things better in future. I wonder why they don’t implement verification system for bidders bidding over 2-3k range. That should be applied even for the existing clients.
I have had the same issue with people front running domains at NameJet and GoDaddy.
Normally they do it while the domain is in auction, then if they get interest they bid. Sometimes they win the auction then just don’t pay if they don’t get interest.
All these auctions need better verification systems. On GoDaddy you can pay $5 and open an auction account with a pre-paid debit card then start bidding thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. When you combine that with the fact that bidding is open and anonymous it only makes it that much worse for shilling bidding and other auction games.
Brad
Yes Brad, it is really easy to manipulate Go Daddy auctions and there is an extra problem there that I have not shared with anyone yet.
I am trying to confirm it and get proof.
Hat tip: Of.org sold by Anshul Goyal of email.biz
Thanks Jay.
I have done some business with Anshul in the past.
He’s a great guy and holds some 20k+ domain names like you konstantinos 🙂
