Problems, Bugs and Fixes at Afternic - Report Problems Here

[carob]

I suggest a new thread titled Problems, Bugs and Fixes at Afternic - Report Problems Here. Then we can all list our issues so Afternic have to fix them. These Afternic probs have been repeatedly flagged up across numerous threads on here over a period of time, including the need for 2FA. Godaddy own Afternic and have the resources and motivation to fix it - this risky mess is unacceptable and reflects badly on their brand.

For info, Afternic keep reverting some of my domains to "In Review" status for no reason, and I only know that if I log in there to check on them. Until I then ask support to take them out of Review they are not listed for sale and will not sell at Afternic.

@Joe Styler When can we expect Godaddy to take action on Afternic, including implementing 2FA?

I have one domain in Hidden since 2 years.

How do you disable fast-transfer on a domain at Afternic?

I can't seem to find an option there for that.

The other obvious quick methods are set domain status to hidden, or delete the listing, or set the sale price so high that the domain is no longer eligible for fast-transfer.

or just lock the domain
Domain locking is a security feature to prevent domain hijacking or unauthorized transfer. We recommend you always lock your domain.

I logged into Afternic today and saw that a name of mine had sold via fast transfer.

I got no emails whatsoever that this name had sold and been transferred to the buyer. (And no nothing is in my spam folder.)

Has anyone else experienced that their "In Review" filter in the portfolio page does not work? Or is it just me? I've tried with at least 4 different browsers and the "In Review" filter does NOT work. It always lists a mix of in review domains and listed domains. When reported to the support they basically sidestepped the question and said that my domains have been manually approved!

Yes it's like that on mine. I don't even know what's valid and what isn't. And when I email them I wait 10 emails later for a reply and get the same dumb answer you got.

Yeah I think it lists all your non-fast transfer names in there, too, which is a glitch and if you have a lot of non-fast transfer names it makes the filter quite useless.

This is what I see for my recent sale. Since it says N/A for payment information, am I supposed to re-enter something?

Yeah, it's just stupid. I've had decent experience with their support but sometimes it appears they don't even read the e-mail

Interesting. I'm in the middle of disabling fast transfer for all my names so let's see if that changes the behavior. I'll post an update

OT but Nice sale

Even better if you email the different email addresses for help you get different answers. So they definitely don't read them all coherently. I had one that said I wouldn't get paid til seller confirmed sale... lol.

Seller or buyer? If seller, then that's one of the dumbest statements I've heard

 

[Templr]

Every name I've sold on Afternic I never recieved an email confirmation. (My email is set up correctly). Really poor.

The 'in Review' has been going on for years and years. Really poor.

Yeah it appears that I have to re-enter my payment information, which I guess includes giving up social security/TIN again?

I just gave this info to Afternic maybe 6 months ago, and I guess they lost it in the meantime.

What a fucking shitshow.

yes, seller. I told them I was the seller and no response ever came back.

What a f*cking sh*tshow.

Yes sir I saw that in an email when I asked about it. They told me ALL have to re-do their info. Joe said that wasn't true but I did have to before I could even consider getting paid. Not sure about everyone else though.

 

[anantj]

OMG! That's stupid.... lol

I don't know who @Joe Styler is listening to at Afternic but it's clear that he has repeatedly been given absolutely false information again and again. And then he passes that along to us.

Nope, no dice. I disabled FT on every single one of my domains and the in review filter is still broken!

Seems to be a lot of conflicting info for sure. I get so many different answers I don't know what to believe anymore.

When you try to filter for In Review names, it shows all your names right? Because like I said, it shows your in review names and it also shows all your NON-fast transfer names. Which in your case is all your names. That's how it is for me, at least.

On mine it's a mix. I have zero in FT and some names in review are not adult by any means and have zero reason to be reviewed for months on end. Then I would email and they would say it's not in review. I had to manually test each name to find the errors.

Yes you are right.
I have around 280 domains like that. How can i copy them, to delete and submit again?

You have to go to Add Names and download the current list CSV. Then delete all your names and re-upload that file to Afternic.
