Flippa has received a lot of feedback since revamping its domain, website and app auction marketplace.
The Australian company maintains a close relationship with its users, and even its loudest critics.

The Australian company maintains a close relationship with its users, and even its loudest critics.
Here are some of the changes:
- Domain auctions : Should default to auto-accept all bidders. If a seller wishes to manually accept, they can toggle this in their listing settings. Website and app auctions will remain defaulted to manually accept bidders.
- Pending bids: Bids decided post-auction will be a thing of the past. This change will kill the instance of a bid being accepted *after* the end of an auction.
- Extension time : The 60 minute extension time for an auction is being reviewed. A 5 minute extension time seems more logical to have.
- BIN auctions : When you click “Buy it Now,” it means “BUY IT NOW” ! The rule of a seller being able to *reject* a BIN offer rides off into the sunset. A reject on a BIN basically means…it’s not a BIN.
- User Verification & Bidder Aliases : The former will be completely redone, in order to improve how new users are accepted and verified. A publicly visible “score” or marker of sorts, that shows the transacting party just how “verified” they are is under consideration. Having a bidding alias is one such step a buyer or seller can complete to become further “verified.”
- Employee Involvement Clarifications: It’s a feature arriving very soon.
