Pool.com is pleased to announce that after reviewing all our customer feedback, we will be changing our Deleting Domains Auction System. All domains acquired through our Acquisition Engine after April 13, 2005 and backordered by more than one user will be entered in a Standard 3-day Proxy Auction System. Buyers can enter their proxy bid amount on each domain. All bids will be automatically increased by the minimum bid increments until the winning bid is determined.
After thoroughly reviewing our customers' feedback, we were able to make this decision to better satisfy your needs. This change addresses many issues you brought to our attention including better utilizing your time.
