namejet bid bug - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**dvdrip** · 12-12-2007, 03:26 PM

Anyone noticed this bug?
You are in an auction with a few others.
You were the first to order the domain so you are the high bidder with $70.
You enter a proxy bid of let's say $100 and boom!
Bid increases to $80! WTF?

Namejet support is saying some incomprehensible things trying to cover this up.

**Acro** · 12-12-2007, 03:37 PM

Yes, I noticed that too.

**dvdrip** · 12-12-2007, 03:39 PM

So I am not crazy...
Thanks

**Bender** · 12-12-2007, 03:55 PM

what reaaaaly annoys me is this:
you bid more than 70 on pre-release.
after the auction, you don't get the domain
you are unable to remove the domain from the "My backorders" list
so, after a while, you'll have dozens of domains in that list

**dvdrip** · 12-12-2007, 03:57 PM

Why bid more than $70 on a pre-release?

to my understanding, there is no "proxy" bid at namejet

the bid you enter is what you pay if you win.

Not exactly. I bid $70, then once other bids came in after the name dropped, I increased my bid to $200. Then I placed in a safety bid of $250. The auction ended at $200.

**dvdrip** · 12-12-2007, 04:44 PM

That is before the auction starts.

After the auction starts what you enter is a proxy bid.

agree, as i obviously was confused to the process

hated it ever since they took away the BIN button!

**GAMEFINEST** · 12-14-2007, 11:10 AM

Their search criteria's sucks

**dvdrip** · 12-14-2007, 11:19 AM

Can someone explain to me why people bid more than $70 on a pre-release?
I can understand it for pending delete...

**DomainBuyerBroker** · 12-19-2007, 02:41 PM

I think they might have gotten the bug fixed. The price changed back on a refresh or change to new page. I forgot.

I think namejet could use some or more end user testing. They need domainers in there to search, bid, pay and acquire domains and ask for a detailed report on the experience.

**dvdrip** · 12-20-2007, 05:54 PM

This bug is fixed now although I haven't heard from their support officially. I had to send them step by step screenshots so that could understand.

**JuniperPark** · 12-20-2007, 06:47 PM

The whole system just doesn't make sense with the layout and bidding, not to mention the obvious bugs.

**Illuminosity** · 02-13-2008, 05:53 PM

Yes, I have raised the bid on myself before in this same manner. It's only $10 but still should be fixed by NameJet

**dvdrip** · 02-13-2008, 06:01 PM

It was fixed.

I also found another bug relating to the order the domains are charged.
They said they will fix it.

**rjlever** · 02-13-2008, 06:14 PM

I just had a nightmare with the proxybidding at NameJet as well.

If you post a proxy bid you cannot manage it later. Even if you are the current high bidder you cannot reduce the amount of your proxy bid once placed.

For example say I bid $70 for a domain name it goes to auction with you as the high bidder among say 15 bidders. If you put in a proxy bid of $10000 vice $1000. Even if your $70 bid is still the high bid when you make the proxy bid your stuck. You cannot reduce the bid back to $1000 even before any bidding starts. If you try to contact management they will not return calls or emails. You have to sit and watch a bad proxy bid be executed up to three days later. You spot a problem before it happens and they don't care - They need to get their act together are they are doomed.

**dvdrip** · 02-13-2008, 06:19 PM

I know what you mean.

I was bidding in an auction. I lost but then it went to public auction.
I asked support to remove my proxy bid and instead they removed me from the
auction completely and then I couldn't bid at all!!!
I asked Bridgett to put me back in but she ignored me.
