I have put like 3 names to sell and all I had to cancelled because i don't know if the name has been put for auction. :(

I can't see the bid box or the buy now button.

The seller isnt able to see the BIN button, thats normal. You can see comments people make, and who is the high bidder. Can you see the high bidder?
 
I personally think the old method of setting the auctions was more succesful and more sales went through and it was nice and simple... yes there's the concern or people's pricing/offer methods but I think it pulled better numbers.... this system has been up for about 2 weeks now and only a handful of sales.... I don't even visit the auction section anymore. Again this is just my opinion.... just like the old way...
 
Agreed. Auctions get little to no exposure after they are off the homepage.
 
Suggestions taken into consideration.

As of now the auction holds a more professional feel. It keeps all the items together and all follow the same format.
You also receive added exposure because the domains are listed right on the home page.

I will look to see how we can increase the exposure of your domains this week. I will discuss with DCG and hopefully come up with a solution.
 
Couple things;

1. additional comments takes up more white space at area

2. two lines presently available, suggest that one used for "new listing", second line use for "ending soon"

Yes, Ending soon would be a fantastic idea. It would certainly give more exposure.
 
Little to no sales--

In my opinion this site is better than alot of the others I visit, so I am shocked that it is harder to sell here than elsewhere. I won't name the other forums I use, but I have had more success in the "social type auctions".

I think having an auction in a chatty type forum, invites more interest, just my input on the subject.

;-)

Thanks
 
Suggestion:

Where it says "Latest Auctions" shouldn't show auctions that apparently closed several days ago. I keep clicking on one thinking it's back up for auction and it's the same one that closed last week. Are the names that appear on there selected at random?
