I really like the idea of auctions, as well as ‘Flippa type of system’
However, the biggest reason why I no longer use Flippa is ‘Starter sites’ which seem to be coming on here now, where its like ‘SITE CAN MAKE 150K A YR’ - Current income $0, wants $1500.
Stuff like that is spam, it wastes everyones time, and if the buyer falls for it, the likelyhood is, they’ll never return to swapd.
Sorry im spamming up your suggestion box, in reply to my getting rid of bad listings, can we also either fully get rid of, or make it SUPER CLEAR when you’re buying a guest post on a website that it’s not an editor post and it’s a community post? - And more than likely won’t stay.
When a post is locked people shouldn’t be able to message you from it anymore or something along those lines. I get 2-3 messages a week from people (who are new accounts and are probably bots) asking if an Instagram post that is locked and listed as sold from 1+ years ago is still available and it drives me nuts haha
Thank you for all the suggestions and please know just because I am not personally responding to all of them it doesn’t mean that we aren’t considering them. We’re actually on a hunt now for a user-end upgrade so we’re looking for things to do and improve.
@RAVEYABEGUM most advertising sites do not do what we do, and they do not suffer chargebacks. If you had to deal with some people we deal with, you would most likely get rid of PayPal as an option in full So, this is one suggestion I can decline at the moment. Thank you!
Get an actual property expert on all of your social media categories, to actually give an insightful comment that stays on the top of the topic they are reviewing on.
This way we can avoid having people sell Indian pages for $40,000 and eventually get down to start selling your best topics rather fast, as we all know people dig the SWAPD insight.
That way, sellers that don’t sell will come down to senses (given they choose so) and most likely the best of the best will be sold faster.
This would also be a chance for you to open the bidding war system, where it goes like this:
1 - Property gets listed.
2 - Swapd reviews it
3 - Bidding is now available, publicly!
Fameswap implements this but they are not serious, while you have the advantage of making it one! Making the checkout tickets come in like rain drops.
This way you don’t have to also put a price on someone else’s property (so they don’t personally attack you).
Which I’m sure happens a lot as you already give insightful opinions but they are just not SERIOUS enough from SWAPD end, to simply have an automatic response for their opinion. That can’t work without properly reviewing it in a serious matter.
Ps Automatic response on properties should be removed. You either go all in on the opinion voice of SWAPD which has become a big deal for a lot of buyers, or don’t give one at all.
Either way, you cannot do both as you’re bound to make mistakes and ruin sales due to having one message for different scenarios.
I think you should add an auction system, with the option for reserve price, and when someone wins, a checkout ticket is automatically created. Can be awesome imo. but you’re too lazy and cheap
An auction system can cost as much as 1-2 months of SWAPD profit when built from scratch. Please fund this and we will begin the work.
I also like @Comfy’s idea of everything getting reviewed, but I have a few reservations:
Finding someone like that is tough. You simply cannot have a one-guy-know-it-all with all the platforms out there. And hiring people for each category is out of the budget.
I’ve personally seen things I would label as crap sell for XX,XXX. This happens often. This isn’t because I missed the potential, it’s because a particular buyer really needed that handle or particular audience. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and prices of these things are highly subjective.
I think most of your problems in that category can be fixed/improved vs. filtering, which we are currently missing. We need to create a better submission system and a better user-end filtering system. That way you can weed out the stuff you don’t like. That is planned, and it’s somewhat in the works.
