I've have had a cpl inquiries this month on Atom, on both occasions the buyer info is missing.

These were standard self brokered listings. I was informed by atom support that only the plus and Premium listings get the lead information and that the buyer has the option to share their contact info with the listing party if they choose to ( but only on standard listings ). I asked if there was an option to make it mandatory to share contact info for any inbound inquiries but they don't have any plans to change standard listings at this time. It's just another form of gatekeeping pushing the domainer to list as premium/plus or use Atom brokers.

I know I mentioned this in another post but thought I would just follow up on a separate post.
 
I have my names at Saw as well but all my NS are pointing to Atom, which I'm rethinking right now. I like a lot of features on Atom. I personally really like the Atom landing pages, they look great, professional, lots of info/options to help the buyer feel confident about the purchase. This is just my opinion and my names are not top tier - what I mean by this is if someone is looking for Red.ca or Jobs.ca they don't care about any of the crap they already know what they want and most likely the value of the domain, but for my type of domains I feel I need all the help i can get lol.

I would be interested to hear other opinions / options. the two inquiries were VoiceAi.ca / LegalTech.ca
 
On the landing page, Atom is now giving buyers a choice whether they share info or not.

Seriously, what kind of :poop: is that, Atom works for the domainer not the end user.
Without the domainers there is no Atom, they best decide who they are working for or they are sure to lose traction.

Here is the two comments from Atom support.


Thanks for reaching out. For Plus/Premium listings, this is not shown. For Standard listings, the buyer has an option to provide their information to you or not.

For Premium/Plus names, this is already standard, we do not share the buyer's information. However, in your two names which are Standard, we also have their information, but they chose not to share it with the seller.
 
Atom is way to complex, too cluttered, too many levels, submissions, all sorts of stuff that is making it become the behemoth we hate about Afternic.

Seriously DomainEasy or SAW are such friendlier platforms to end users and domainers alike.

I like the idea of Atom but to me I have to spend too much time, too many settings, just too much of everything.
 
I have never looked into Domain Easy.

Here's a question are most inquires from people typing in the domain they are interested in google or finding the domain from a search on a platform like afternic/atom/saw etc?

I guess some of my limited belief or not really thinking deeply into it, i felt that a major platform would draw in more traffic and more eyes on my domains which might = more inquiries / sales?
 
I have had 3 inquires over the last cpl weeks seems like something has changed, seems like nothing for months the a bunch all at once. I really don't like not getting any info on the potential buyer but I just sold one, it's listed in the sold section here on dn. just hoping the other two get traction.
