Hi, I bought a website in DP few days ago and I try to creat new thread on Link sales , its saying this domain is already listed. Its opened by the guy who sold to me, how can I open a thread for myself?
Quite frankly that's a ridiculous response to give. The system is not designed to prevent stuff like this. The seller has every right to list a thread to sell links on a site he owns. You should somehow "make it possible".
^ This would be the most logical thing to do. Why does the old thread need to exist if the old owner can no longer sell links on a site he/she has now sold.
That guy has "Marked as Sold ". But still its not allowing to create a thread. Need some solution for this.
...as well as preventing duplicate accounts from listing the same thing (which is what you are running into). At some point a mechanism will be out in place to allow it with certain restrictions, but it's not high up on the priority list at the moment.
Yes, it is. Ask the old owner (the guy who opened the thread) to click report button and leave a reason to delete the thread. Probably reference this thread too. Once he submits report, it goes in queue for a moderator to review and if the moderator decides in favor he can delete the thread. May be ask him to send you the report ID (this number used to be in the tail part of the URL after submitting report) and send it to a moderator like Smyrl requesting them to delete. Good luck.
May be you should have had a tender voice. "It is not possible" - Though its quite correct, it seems to be very rude. Why not something like "I am sorry, but unfortunately it is not possible at this time". That might sound as if you are showing some sort of respect for the guy who has asked something which is quite reasonable. Just my 2c.
Great idea with temp solution but Staff should implement the mechanism that as seller Mark item as Sold the thread will be deleted or if you don't want to do in every case then one single popup ask seller do you want to remove thread? Hopefully this can be possible.
This will not be done. You can allow seller to delete all of this thread of give them option to delete. This particularly will be used to trick the system.
Well, if I saw a site for sale, it would certainly be relevant for me to see that it had previously been listed for sale. Scrubbing that history might be helpful for the second seller, but not necessarily so for a prospective buyer. Knowing a particular site had previously been sold, or used to sell paid links, it important information for a potential buyer of that site.
I'm agree with Browntwn. Keeping the history of domain being sold is very important. To make it easy for both prospective buyer and seller, Old thread which sold the domain should not being deleted but attached (with links) to new thread. There must be good reason why the domain being sold in DP. In my opinion, such reason is important for prospective buyer. DP didn't allow same domain to be sold again to prevent abuse (same owner with different accounts could sell it again and again - inflating prices). Current system which allow domain to be sold again within specified times is good option. This is some scenarios to fix the troubles: Make new forum which is used to sell domain/sites previously being sold in DP. Cons: - Staff maybe wouldn't approve it as creating new forum/sub-forum require more attention (and coding too). - Creating new sub-forum just for re-selling the domain sound like not good idea. Imagine so many stuffs being sold in DP were listed again and again. DP is not for re-cycling stuffs. Pros: - Seller able to sell domain previous being sold in DP - New stuffs with better quality may appear in DP than other sites. Create new Label just for 'Re-selling' stuffs. New 're-selling stuffs' will have label as '2X' or 'Previously Sold' with link or attachment to previous sales thread. I think this is the most possible solution. Both seller and buyer will get the benefits of it. Buyer able to see the history. Seller able to sell the stuffs again. Win-win solution. Maybe we should understand why DP didn't allow seller to 're-selling' the domain again. There must be good reason for it. Sometimes we have to follow the rules if the rules were created for our goodness. Any other opinion?
