Good Bye DomainEasy... For Now... (1.Viewing)

I am getting so many low ball offers on domain easy that I have decided to start migrating some of my domains out.

The problem is it does not really matter what you set your minimum bid to, so lets pretend it's $1000...

The potential client enters $1000 but in the comments says his bid is $100. I have a few domains that get so much traffic it's a common occurrence to get numerous such offers in a day. The domains are high value and I do not want to put a BIN because the BIN price depends on if a direct hit company applies for the domain.

On SAW.com you have the ability to ask for email verification and you can adjust that on/off for all domains or on a individual domain setting. I still get fake offers there too because there are no repercussions for the bidder, their accounts don't get cancelled like at Afternic so the process will probably continue.

I have a big announcement coming in the new year, I have been large scale testing different landers and ways to sell domains and I have a secret weapon that is selling the most domains. I am absolutely shocked how easy it is to let the buyer do all the negotiations if you know what to do. Story coming soon...

A cesspool for spam

Constant spam advertising SEO, virtually every offer is fake and the site is becoming unusable.
I only have a few BIN domains there but I am reminded why I removed most domains every time I see the fake offers just advertising some service to India.

Let's not forget about the fake million dollar offers as well.

DomainEasy has a lot of work to do, they need to start by banning specific countries from using the service.

Sad to hear, was hoping DE would be good.

Are you getting the spam more on high traffic .coms, or everything? Not seeing that myself but I only have about 150 domains there.

This is typically what I am seeing instead of a real lead

they have been active on np forum and shipping updates faster than other marketplaces. What did they say about the spam report?

From what I know they are aware of it but spammers are quite prolific.

For instance... the same spammer (above) that spammed me at DomainEasy is also spamming the contact form at dn.ca

I'm absolutely shocked how prolific these Indian spammers are.

I'm not shocked, my spam folder gets some every day, likely from them scraping emails from Whois. With AI it could get worse, completely automated.

got my first DomainEasy spam inquiry today, spamming SEO tools. wonder how they can fix this.

Got a number of DomainEasy spam overnight, insane...

And a first as well, got a spam on my MapleDots form, they inserted the form address as the domain.

They are probably scraping the internet using AI

Gonna be a lot of this and no forms will be safe unless they catch those idiots.

By taking away the Comments field from the lander, along with any other text field that allows manual input.

a better fix would be a filter that blocks the spammer but keeps the form as is. a message field is good for negotiation. maybe an email confirmation link to click when form is submitted.

they have a Captcha on the form but that’s obviously not cutting it

Incredible these spammers think they will actually get some business through filling out fake offers on domain inquiry forms.

Sure, but there is no need for it on the lander and all this design does is invite online miscreants. No amount of filtering or CAPTCHA is going to stop them, so remove the text field from the lander (allowing only numbers in the Offer field) and they'll quickly move on to someone else.

After all, the intent is to use the application for all negotiation once the initial offer is submitted.
