Hi kvmcable. Andrew here from Flippa. Sorry to hear you feel that way. Reducing the auction extension was not a decision we took lightly and it certainly has no impact on revenue - we're focused on getting sales rather than relists. At the end of the day, the poll we ran shows that there was...

Sure - Flippa bought it too. Most of the advice won't work and we closed up the few ideas that may have worked. Sorry.

Hi dievasira, niloydaemons and porsche911 - please PM me your Flippa IDs and I'll sort out your accounts.

Thanks kvmcable. Seems we're both fans of data however my conclusions here are not merely opinion. There is simply nothing to be drawn from the data you have. Once we exclude domain sales or websites without IP info, we're looking at about 1,000 distinct IPs. Over 95% of these only have one...

The split between banned and suspended is that suspended can still log into Flippa while Banned cannot. Neither are able to comments, sell or bid. Feel free to PM me your listing and I can look into further for you if you like.

kvmcable - I'm afraid there is a giant leap between data and wisdom here. As much as users can "draw their own conclusions", there is not a lot here not already accessible from our advanced search function, and nothing here offers a solution to the notion of shill bidding beyond what we already...

There is everything wrong with this which is why we invest in identifying and removing these duplicates - especially when we have irrefutable evidence of shill bidding as we do here (by your own admission). As per Karlos's comment, there is no legitimate use-case for having more than one...

Thanks kvmcable. Be assured that we're committed to serving the full range of buyers and sellers that do business on Flippa. My previous listing of some of our key achievements to date was not meant as a way for us to justify this adjustment by way of cost but to highlight how we're continually...

Thanks. Have posted this elsewhere but can confirm we've recently adjusted the listing fee - the first time since Flippa started over 3 years ago and something clearly displayed to all sellers as part of the listing creation process. In the last 3 years, we've implemented industry-leading...

Hi all. Be assured, we at Flippa do a stack of work to make our marketplace safer every day and there are a stack of awesome websites being sold every day. On the first, we spend a lot of time to marketplace as safe as possible. We always look to where we can further improve but its worth...

Hi David. I'm from Flippa. Every now and then auctions end with a winner on Flippa but for a range of reasons the buyer backs out later. We're incredibly serious about limiting this and work hard to reduce it. This includes aiding/educating sellers in qualifying potential bidders, requesting...

Interesting thread. Andrew here from Flippa. The most popular search factors for websites are revenue, traffic and site age (ahead of PR, Alexa, Copyscape etc). As such, you'd simply expect more from each of these three for every increase in your budget. Use our advanced search option to better...

Be assured this is not the case. Bids on Flippa are indeed legally binding however so is providing accurate information about the listing which has evidently not happened here. To this end, there is no obligation on the buyer in this instance. The right thing to do is return the funds to the...

Thanks. Yes, we did receive a few contact via here and to our support team on this auction so thanks for bringing it to our attention. Without knowing the background on the website, it can often be difficult for us to make a firm, evidence-based call on removing an auction. It ends up being the...

Hi Ivan. I can tell you a fool-proof way to avoid Flippa's duplicate account ban: don't create a duplicate account. We will ban users for serious offenses - usually repeated offenses. For the account to be banned means there was a serious problem - and most likely one that posed a risk to our...
