Just wondering how do you know you were the only one that backordered it????

**shlthead** · 06-08-2009, 06:52 PM

under My auction in my pool account.

the Auction Participant List does not show. or listed anything...

is there a way to tell anybody that has backordered the domain.

dont assume you are the only one. Just watch the auction...I have occasionally had a situation where I thougth I was the only one, and then at the last minute, a bidder ...waiting ...comes and starts bidding.

POOL IS CRAP....

anyway where in my pool account does it show how many people has backordered the domain. is the backorder a private auction or public?

unlike namejet it show how many people have backordered the same domain. then it enter a private auction for 3 day.

Shlthead, what do you think of Pool's back ordering?

**shlthead** · 06-08-2009, 09:19 PM

Never backorder anything from pool.

**stewie** · 06-08-2009, 09:41 PM

just switch the company you backorder with...don't waste your time getting fired up about a backordered domain.

GoodLuck

I never used them

**keyser** · 06-10-2009, 06:09 AM

Pool isnt that bad imo. Never had any "big" issue with them.

**tomsa** · 06-10-2009, 06:51 AM

It only means you were the best/first bidder when the auction started.

You can see how many bidders are in your auction somewhere on Pool however

**Onward** · 06-10-2009, 07:17 AM

Yeah...I prefer to loose the name than to use Pool...My experience has been nothing but bad with them. Frankly, I have found that they are not that good of a drop catcher anyway unless you alert them that U want the name...just let it drop...and get it.

I backordered a name at Pool on Friday, 1/2 hour before the 2PM ET deadline, but somehow I didn't get into the auction for the domain.

So I sent them several emails over the weekend about it, but still haven't heard back yet, and the auction will be over in a couple of hours.

Very frustrating. Good thing there are several backorder alternatives out there.
