I totally agree with Anwar after finding out that 2 of my domain names were stolen and registered - I was furious - one was definately done by a client of picky domains the other one however was registered by godaddy the same site that sponsors or is connected to Picky domains (is that a coincidence or what???) - did I see a cent - no. When I complained I also was told about it being generic but of course it was registered a couple of days after I submitted the name - it stinks - I have yet to find many people who actually do get paid by Picky Domains - a search on google uncovered a few other disullioned souls. The few positives I read are probably from the website owner.
Keep your great ideas to yourself and register them as soon as you do a domain search otherwise someone else surely will and they will sell if for thousands and you will be none the wiser.
Give Picky a miss - trust me.

My friend was also in Picky Domains and demanded to know why her 2 suggestions were registered and she wasnt paid - Picky then reluctantly paid her for one. She didnt suggest anymore names after that…..its a waste of time.

The author probably meant that it was risk free to the buyer

Of course what you are saying may be a risk if you are on the other side submitting domain suggestions on this site. If I remember correctly the terms and conditions even state that PickyDomains reserves the right to register some domains rejected by the person who placed the order in their own name, but they do say they’d give the person who suggested the name a cut of the revenue should the name be sold at a later time.

PickyDomains is Risk Free !

That’s FALSE !!!

I submitted many domains to this website and most of them was stolen and never been paid, the buyer register the domains and flag them as disliked, so he get many domain ideas and don’t pay for any or just one, the other.

So one Advice, AVOID this website, go and register the domain your self and sell it on some marketplaces it’s better and can reward you more.

The idea behind this website is to steal your IDEAS, and when i contacted the owner of that website with some evidences, he told me this :

“These are both not very valuable generic domain names. Most likely there were registered before and ended up on expired domain lists and then someone re-registered them.”

while the domain was registered two days after i have submitted them to that website and never been registered before !!! refering to Domaintools.com

Scammer should be punished.

Have they relaunched this service? It was very quiet at the end of April when I joined up…just wondering why it’s being reported as released last week?
