Hey Folks,

I've just started using squadhelp.com to list some of my brandable. So far I have 76 domains listed, there is no fee to list. I've had some decent action so far in the way of interested buyers but no sales as of yet. I've only been with them for 1 week now.

A bit of a summary review of SquadHelp:

PROS
  • No Listing fee
  • No Logo design fee
  • Ability to submit your names to end users holding naming contests
  • Ability to chat directly or send a message directly to end users.
  • Stats of your marketplace domains are shown in the marketplace dashboard.
  • Their customer service and support has been great, 24hr a day chat.
  • Ability to increase or decrease the list price of your domains or to show a discount. You can decrease or increase the price yourself by $200. If you want to lower more, you can contact support.
  • End users can shortlist your domains before they make a decision on which they want to purchase. The number of shortlists is shown in you marketplace dashboard.
  • When you submit your names you get to set the price you wish to get. Because their commissions are high I recommend listing at a higher price to offset the commission costs.
  • Their landing pages are fairly basic but they work. Because the marketplace is fairly new, I'm sure we will see style improvements in the future.
  • One thing I really like is they accept multiple extensions. I have listed .co and .io along with .com
  • Each seller gets a direct link to their marketplace portfolio, HERES MY PORTFOLIO. It is handy if your trying to p[promote your portfolio through social media.
  • I like that their marketplace doesn't have tens of thousands domain listings like BB. They are fairly strict on the domains they accept to list and so this helps keep the number of domains in the marketplace down and gets your listings more exposure.
CONS
  • Their commissions are very high, depending on the domain name they are usually between 30% and 35%. However, there are no listing fees, no logo design fees, so in the end their commission is very similar to brand buckets.
  • Their logos are not top quality, in fact I requested to have some of my logos remade.
  • I think they have a big backlog of logos to design, the wait time for logo design has been around 1 week, but your names are still listed while the logos are being designed.
  • After your names are accepted you need to agree to their commission rate, at this point you also need to apply your own keywords, descriptions etc. I found this was very time consuming.

Hey, guys, both Premium and Standard listings are exclusive or the Premium only? If I have standard listings. can I sell in other marketplaces?
Yes you can for Standard

I have tried to search for my standard listings, but they don't ever appear in their search results. Is it normal? Only premium listings appear in search results when you search with a keyword?

Yes, premium listings are different from standard listings.

I see. So the SH lander is the only benefit for a standard listing. Does marketing exposure ad any value? It's free if you pay 20% comission.
Overall, is there any benefit in having your names on SH as standard listings besides the benefit of the decent- I would say- lander?

You can submit to contests if that matters to you.

I realized that before you submit your name with squadhelp, you most purchase a coin, how worth is each coin please?

Please consider allowing custom uploaded logos to be displayed on standard listing domains not using WLM in 2022.

Thanks.

I've yet to see someone say they've sold a standard listing.

I think most people are moving away from SquadHelp at this point.

I haven't got an offer on a premium listing in 6 months. I get Dan offers all the time.

@L3af I don't think a lot of people are leaving. They have over 135K premium domains in the marketplace at the moment. :)

I gave them a shot but their white label marketplace was super buggy. I was reporting so many issues it became not worth my time.

Please keep in mind that part of those 135K premium domains is SH-owned and they keep registering new domain names every month.

Great news, the sales database is back! It is limited to 10-12 results though. But still better than nothing! :)

I'm regularly seeing many of my great names rejected from SH, including some brandables I've bought in auction for several hundred dollars.

Meanwhile, a few account holders at SH have gotten 70 to 100% acceptance on submissions of thousands of average names.

Also, I believe some accounts do not have to pay a commission to SH when they sell a name on Afternic.

How do a few people get these benefits?

Is there some special "Friends of Darpan" club? If so, how to join?
True!...the same reason why I delist all my domains from there. Some people can list whatever they want for whatever price they want. I have seen it multiple times, while your much better names would be rejected

How can you possibly know others rejection rates or payment terms? Pretty major allegation.

What I'm trying to understand is: how can I get all of my crappy names (and good names) accepted like this special group of sellers?

Who is this special group of sellers?
