The boys have slipped some great features in to Flippa in the last few days, and there’s more coming!

Flippa on Twitter

Followers of Flippa on Twitter know that this week we’re rolling out a great feature, a dispute procedure which gives you more certainty when a sale doesn’t go through. Want to have the success fee waived and a free relisting when the buyer or seller is dodgy? Have a look on Twitter! You should follow us on there because that’s where new feature announcements pop up first.

More Listing Stats

A couple of switched-on users let us know last week that Compete can be a great source for stats about a site. Guess what? They were right! So we took a few hours to incorporate the Compete public API into Flippa. Now you’ll see stats direct from Compete when you view listings on Flippa. It’s all gonna help buyers make more informed decisions about their purchases. (Coming soon is the ability to filter and sort on these stats.)

Thanks heaps to those Flippa users! If there’s anything you use when assessing a site which could feasibly be incorporated into Flippa, don’t hesitate to let us know. We’re all about getting you as much information as possible. (You might even end up with a handful of credits for your trouble…) Either let us know at the Flippa UserVoice or email us at Flippa Support if you have any brainwaves.

Double-Page Screenshots

Another interesting feature is that we now have double-page screenshots on new listings. This is a bit of visual sugar for your listing page. For an example of what I’m talking about, have a look at the Twollow listing:

Twollow For Sale on Flippa

Pretty? Or useless? Let us know!

Reduce Listing Duration

Auction owners sometimes need to change their listing’s end time. It’s always been possible to finish a listing early, but not to shorten it. We won’t be letting sellers lengthen listings as that’s dodgy—buyers deserve to know what they’re bidding on. But it’s now possible to reduce the duration of a listing, down to at least a day from the current time. Have a look on your listing page in the owner action box to do this.

See “Watching” Count

Sellers can now see how many people have their listing on their watchlist—have a look in the top right corner of your listing page near the view count. This was requested by a few people. Let’s hope it helps you gauge interest in your listing!
