I've listed about 170 domains on Nameshift, and this week, I made my first sale.
Super pleased with the service, the offer / counter-offer system is simple and straight forward. Slick invoicing and payout.
Would recommend!

Good to know the above.

Niek who I have dealt with many many times is always great to deal with.

He was who I was talking to as I had questions about the domain transfer instructions.
 
nearly all domains listed there are by owned by them (Niek). not sure to trust them tbh. I cannot use them until they have an API anyways.
 
Good to hear about nameshift. Noticed that there are quite a few sales listed on dnjournal today including a nice .co.uk. What was the transfer process like - was it as smooth as Dan?
 
I'm not familiar with Dan, but when the buyer has paid, I got an email from Nameshift:

"Congratulations! The domain essexoffices.co.uk has been sold. You will shortly receive an email from us with the transfer instructions.

You can already take these next steps:

- Get the authorisation code from your registrar

- Remove (if necessary) all registrar locks from the domain

You will receive an email when the domainname has been transferred.

Nameshift Transfer Team"

-- I jumped on the live chat and said

"I've had a notice that a domain's been sold but as it's a .co.uk domain I'm not sure on the the next step as your email implies it's for a .com"
-- they replied

"Thanks, for .uk we ask the buyer if they want a TAG change or Nominet push, if they don't respond in time we will ask for a tag change to our provider so we can proceed with the payout. As a email is send to the buyer i will keep you up to date."

-- a couple of days later I got a message asking me to release the domain to the NAMESCO tag, and that triggered their invoice generation and payment.
 
Sounds good - I assume NAMESCO updated the registrant details
 
Is this the same Niek I am thinking of? If so, he is a very pleasant and professional person, and I would imagine this platform doing very well.
 
I thought I'd give them a try, but fell at the first hurdle - nameservers - seems the only way to verify is via nameservers which is a big red nono from me. I've contacted support, I'm hoping they have a way via TXT record or something.
 
@temp123: you can add your domains and use nameservers provided, the 3rd is needed when a domain is already listed with Nameshift, it will then transfer to your account. If you have more questions let me know.

We just implemented alot of features including: portfolio link, API, extra languages, rent options, lease-before-own options and instant payments (fastest of the industry :) )

Why is it a big red no no? Out of genuine interest

Typically I need to use my own nameservers for (at the least) picking up mail/MX

But also, I pre-screen traffic before deciding where to send the visitor/bot. as well as log
