SnapNames Auction

Does anybody know - m10v ?
He hasn't paid a lot of domains, and he continues to cheat the prices of the other domains...

First unpaid domain I see is for the 19th of May. But I think he also has unpaid domains before this date.

keep · Jun 4, 2013

This is really something ....

Today is the 4th of June and m10v still didn't pay for domains.. and he still actively bids on other domains...

Also very strange situation with Chika and Dribble....

Din't see Dribble active for a long time...
But since Chika have unpaid domains he/she stopped bidding and suddenly Dribble became active...

Also I see a lot of new bidding aliases (newcomers, never saw them before) who marking up the prices on shitty domains...

I don't know , maybe its just my imagination but it really smells fishy..

When I asked them about additional time (10 days) to hold domains I won they blocked my account after 5 days and gave all my domains to other bidders..
As a result I lost a lot of time while I was searching for these domains and finally I lost these domains..

Also there is an issue with Buyer Dashboard. The page loads incompletely . I don't see all of auction I'm participating in. Called to support , they told me that technical department will fix it but it was about a month ago

Nothing was fixed as you may guess

Also how do like this ?

Why there are domains in search result which already ended ?
For example why it shows guestdata.com which ended almost 17 days ago ???

What do you think guys ?

PS.

Sorry for my english

m10v - never place initial bid. Usually he is second or third bidder.

A domain name that he didn't paid for is sellingcenter.com . It is first domain name that I can see from my account that he didn't pay for.

By now he has a lot of domain he didn't pay for. But his account is still active.
So as I do understand his account must be suspended because of breaking rules.
But instead of that today he won 7 domains :

So there are two ways .
1. He is just an independent cheater.
2. He is working on snapnames to cheat the prices.

Don't forget , he didn't pay for a lot of domains . From my account I can see 5 unpaid domains. And one failed payment for the 19th of May.

So guys , be careful with this bidder - m10v . halvarez ?

Martij · Jun 6, 2013

After reviewing the stated auctions all bidders are legitimate and the system is working the way it is supposed to. We do monitor payments for all domains and have specified collections processes in place. There is no bidder that is treated differently than another.

The Buyer Dashboard issue has been in our tier 2 technical team for a while. They have been troubleshooting the problem. We just heard back from them this morning that they cannot replicate the problem. They need to know what browser and version you're using? Could you please email me that information?

Bullshit !
Looks like you know nothing about it or you just trying to spoof the facts !

If everybody equal then why after braking the rules ( sellingcenter.com m10v 03-Jun-2013 15:44 PDT -- Payment Failed ) the bidder wasn't banned ?
Yesterday he won 7 domains ! Also he placed a bid for $1100 at adzilla.com .
Did he pay for all he won ?

torcher.com whois $164.00 $154.00 Payment Pending m10v 21-May-2013
novet.com whois $210.00 $69.00 Payment Pending m10v 30-May-2013

I already sent all screenshots to Jean Jacques <[email protected]> . He said that he forwarded all screenshots to your technical department. It was on the 20th of May.

Also you mobile application stopped working. It says Authentication failed.

So you guys bought a huge system that you cannot even support correctly.
All you can is play with your customers , cheat prices , spoof facts and so on....

I and m10v were locked in a small bidding war. There was no other bidder.

m10v bid till $145 and i left the auction for him to own the domain name.

Later on, after few days i got an email from Snapnames that the other bidder did not pay and hence i got the domain for $69

Sorry can't reveal the domain name publicly.

So we have at least two failed payments by now

But I'm sure that he has more
And m10v is still active and won a domain today

Thanks a lot for your post !

keep · Jun 6, 2013

And I'll tell you more.
I called to snapnames four or five times about m10v during few weeks.
I asked them why is he still active.
And every time they were telling me that everything is ok with him.

keep · Jun 6, 2013

LOL

They are convulsively paying for all he won now.
Whois data was updated few minutes ago.
Also status changed from Pending Payment to Completed.
Almost all domains from my list have Joshua Chodniewicz whois data.

Nice move guys ! That's exactly what I was expected for. It proves a lot.

Be careful with this guy !!!
Somehow he is connected to the snapnames co.
He will bid against you as much as he can to raise the price to the maximum .

Don't be so smart.
m10v bids on many domains a day.
He marks up the price to the maximum for many domains every day.
And now I'm sure that snapnames covers him and he bids on to get more money for snapnames .

That's some serious allegation. Do you have proof? This is like another halvarez.
