SAW launches domain sales platform (1.Viewing)

Saw.com Cuts New Path With Their Marketplace/Brokerage Solution​

Asked about the key differentiator between the new Saw marketplace and other venues, Gabriel noted, "Sellers get immediate access to comprehensive buyer information, providing valuable insights into each potential buyer’s background and location. This empowers sellers to negotiate effectively and maximize their returns. Additionally, users can access detailed domain data, including domain name traffic statistics that show visitor’s country of origin, automated domain appraisals, and keyword registration data across various extensions. Providing this data to our clients has consistently resulted in sales prices that exceed the industry average."

I listed .com's .org .xyz

But I did list on .ca to see what it looked like with a full security certificate.

Took about a day to get the https activated

The back interface is wonderful and they were adding features as I was adding my domains.

I am wondering... what is domain marketplaces' like Dan or Saw biggest expense? It's just I see everyone is charging 10% and more. When we are talking about high-value domains, that seems like a lot. Why not make it 3-5% (or tiered, with % based on sale price) and win the market? What's stopping someone from doing that?
 
UPDATE

- All dot.com's got ssl and resolved to domain.com within 2 days

- My test .ca's resolve to sawsels.com/forsale/domain.ca and its been about two weeks.

It's as I thought, they are prioritizing .com's.

Apparently the certificates are created by hand and they are trying to automate the process.

Tried them out for a bit, left, too much maintenance and down time.

The technology is the biggest up front investment I would say, but of course also ongoing cost. If you provide landers, SSL certificates are a nightmare to generate/keep active on masse.

I would be interested in a system that charges a lower commission should the buyer have come to the domain name directly, rather than by other means. However, knowing this industry, your users may not trust you on this.

Speaking of....

Soon google wont forward http:// and even now there is a force https:// setting in the browser whereas anyone forwarding a domain name to another address gets a security warning.

Do you see anything coming in the control panel similar to how we forward the www to mitigate this issue?

Google has been warning of this "soon" for a long time.

We have no immediate plans for that at the moment, but we've have explored what would be required to provide SSL forwarding. It definitely would come at an additional expense to us, but I want to revisit this topic soon and check what other registrars are doing.
