  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

    1. offer rewards to frequent buyers and sellers.

      Small rewards, even recognition as a "power seller/buyer", can go a long way in creating loyalty.

      • Member Ratings and Feedback

        Didn't find this one in the feedack. It would be nice if buyer and sellers could leave feedback and a rating similar to Ebay or some of the other sites out there. Buyers and sellers could be added to favorites and maybe have a featured sellers page with Sellers, their ratings and feedback and profiles.

        It may already be in the works or enabled but I haven't seen it. Thanks!

        • Add a preference to select which TLDs get included in the daily email.

          I have no interest in .cc, .mobi, etc. It would be great if they did not pollute the list that gets emailed daily. Would be even better if that setting affected the entire site!

            Thanks for the suggestion. Our upcoming feature entitled “Watchlist” will enable you to customize your notices and browsing experience.

          • search unsold inventory

            I would like to be able to search unsold inventory from the day before or a few days prior just like I can search and vote for upcoming auctions (by ext or keyword). Then I would like to be able to submit an offer to buy the name. Great for people who missed the auction and great for seller who did not sell at auction time. Especially since you have to wait 120 days to resubmit a name.

                I'm tired of having to wait for buyers to send me their transfer details. It can take days and days for them to have them! I suggest you add a feature where the details are stored in your system, that way we don't have to wait a week to be paid.

                • Less design more Functionality

                  I like bido, it's a great website and a great idea however the design, (for me) is a bit of a turn off. Too many graphics and features and not enough functionality. Like my having to enter my username before the password field automatically shows up which I get the watch the world spin over to my left.

                  I have to click on my bido which is Edit Profile and then click again on my domains which doesn't transport you anywhere but offers a drop down before you can get to it. Takes too many clicks and too many graphics.… more

                    Thank you for this feedback. While we may not have the innards as organized as possible yet, as you pointed out, we intend to improve it. We also intend to improve and enhance the login system.

                  • Have a "my auctions" category filter for upcoming/closed/about to end auctions.

                    This would allow us to more easily watch the auctions that we've created (and possibly include those auctions we have bid on).

                    • bump domains with more votes to the top

                      If a domain gets 4-9 votes in it's first day listed it falls down and quickly drops, most people won't look past a few days, domains that have a good number of votes should slide back up and move past the ones with 0 votes so people can see what is hot without having to scan down through 7 days worth as most will give up.

                        Sorting the columns bumps domains with more votes to the top.
                        Putting new items below other items does not give them a fair advantage and breaks the flow.

                      • Show the age of domains via a WHOIS check in auctions

                        Age of domains is a factor for us in buying, this would be a valuable feature and would speed up our bidding processed massively.

                          As I enter domains, sometimes a few at a time in the morning, then maybe a couple at night or the next day, I am adding them for about 3-5 days later.

                          I like to add certain domains to similar time slots to others that I have previously listed.

                          When you have 20+ domains and you have to figure out what times your auctions for which domains are starting what day, and what time, our only way to figure that out is to click on each domain. I have to write it down and try to remember my own schedule… more

                            As I have now been using Bido for more than a month, I have a small but set-to-grow number of domains that are just in the way. Those coupled with the odd canceled domain (eg. a typo in entering the domain name, which is then canceled and a new listing made) are really starting to clutter my domains page already, and I can see it getting worse. Is there some way to remove domains I do not plan on relisting? If not, could we get that please?

                                Browsing the domains is slow. In addition the icons are confusing at the very least. Just display a list of the domains without the icons and less graphics, it would work much faster, at least it would be easier to read and skim thru the domains whether you'd like to vote or purchase.

                                  I spend more time on vote tab then any other ( even when auctions are going on), so when I refresh the home page ( which I do a lot, as Vote tab does not auto update ), it is quite irritating to see Live Auctions tab be shown by default, and I have to click Vote tab to see new domains up for voting. I end up clicking Vote tab couple of hundred times in a single day. Probably everyone wants a different default tab on home page, so allowing it to be set in settings will help.

                                    This is under review. The other thing we have in mind, and it addresses the core issue of needing to refresh that page, is something like how Twitter shows you “x items since you started searching”, it would show you “x items added since you started voting”. Something to that effect.
                                    The reason it does not auto update is because if it did, if the rows moved magically, you might end up clicking the wrong thing.
                                    Under review, thanks again.

                                    Many members find the Quick button a bit scary so why not have the option to turn OFF the button and not worry about pressing the 'Quick Bid' button by mistake !!

                                      The quickbid button was replaced with a regular Place Bid button, and now requires two clicks to bid.

                                      This is more of a bug than anything, but I can't view more than the first handful of listings on my ipod touch or my android phone. The entire page scrolls, not the list of items and there's no scrollbar to use to scroll down the list. I either have to use the filter option or just hope the name bubbles to the top of the list which is really frustrating.

                                      This applies to both the voting as well as bidding tabs. I'd be able to monitor, vote and bid remotely much more easily if the list of items really… more

                                        This is currently planned to be resolved. In addition, we have a native solution coming soon to an app store near you. It was actually ready to drop in the app store till we rolled out so many new changes a couple weeks ago, so it’s been put back to the stone age and is in need of some large updates before we release it. Thanks for posting the request here, we appreciate that very much.

                                        For a domain scheduled for auction, in the 'Upcoming Auctions' tab on home page, the auction start time is already shown in 'Auction start' column so it is just a simple matter of showing the same in Vote for… more

                                          Thank you for the suggestions to improve those items, both Prem and Turnfire’s suggestions can and will be done.
                                          Prem, please remember that if the item is truly awaiting the seller to select their date and time (like if they don’t have Autolist enabled), the date won’t be available. But in many cases it will be, as you illuminated its not showing the status entirely accurate. So we will add the proper status for “Auction is unstarted”, link it, and show the date. Thanks again.

                                          In my Vote For Profits History page, I see some domains that have "Auction awaiting setup" status for 2 months now. It is frustrating to put in time to look at domains and use the limited 222 votes on domains to highlight them, and then find that the domain owner has not put the domain for auction.

                                          If the domain has received required votes and the owner does not setup auction within a fixed period (say 15 days), the domain should be removed from "Auction awaiting setup" status and votes refunded.

                                          Maybe the domain owner should also be penalized for… more

                                            Thanks Prem, this is under review.
                                            Please know that we do contact sellers who delay for a long time to setup their auctions to find out why the delays.
                                            A more clear policy and timeframe for these situations is something that will need to be created, mainly for the reasons you mentioned. We appreciate you voicing it here, thanks. We’ll take a closer look at this and determine the best solution and balance for all.

                                            Non-Bido users who are directed somehow to the auction link don't know that the winning bid can be below the high reserve price indicated in the auction page. It should be stated clearly somewhere around the Bido price that it is not final and the owner of the domain can end up selling at a lower price if the reserve has not been met if they like the highest bid.

                                            Let's say I put $5000 as my Bido price. It should be indicated something like this:
                                            "Bidoprice (reserve price): $5000 or last highest bid"
