well, not sure what flag it would be cause these names where regd over a course of about 2-3 days, the 1000 i got about a month ago were regd much faster, with one batch which was about about 400/day...
I think ill have to wait for an answer from them, :)
Wow. That has to be some sort of record. So you have registered around 200 domains in the last 2-3 days. In my book, this is definitely a case of too may too fast. 400 in a day is just mindblowing.

I wonder what kind of domains are you regging in such a massive volume. Trying to corner a particular niche probably. After hours of research every day I am hardly able to register a couple a day and most of the days I do not reg at all.

There is definitely something here for us all to learn. Please do keep us updated.

a numbers game, or so it was supposed to be, the 1000 regd already paid for themself, so thats why i was gonna get another 1000...but it seems they do have some kind of limit in mind of how many $1 names one can go and buy... :)

It becomes available immediately they refund the reg fee most of the time. @55Domains you should check and try to reg it with some other Registrar.

Though there occasions they seems to withhold/seize the domains. Three of mine are stuck that way since December last year.

quick update: i had the "payment error" today when I reggae'd 58 coms back-to-back (5 each).

i didn't log out during the buying spree, and i think that's what caused it.

So it stopped working at 45 domains.

What i did to correct it was to use Microsoft Edge and logged in there, and it worked.

I really think it's just a cookie / cache issue.

I agree you gotta clear the cache between buys, Also there is a cutoff before you get the error that is around 50. Once you hit that 50ish there may be an error code for about 4 weeks. That’s my experience. Kinda like throttling,

Ah, so there really is a cutoff!

well, as i said, i had been able to keep going by switching browsers. Try that next time if you go on a reggae spree again ^_^.

We're sorry. There was a problem processing your PayPal payment. Please try another payment method.
Anyone else getting this ?
This is not a cache issue. I have tried it on a different browser and failed. I just put some funds in my namesilo account and Paypal works fine. Also, I hardly reg a few domains a day. Most of the days I do not reg at all. Changing primary email at PP did not help.

Please let me know if someone has a way around this.

Give it a rest for 2 or 3 days, then try again...

Make and keep a list of domains to register, but don't register them all at once. Once things work again, keep on registering a certain number of names daily with minimum of fluctuation :xf.wink:

As for changing the primary PP email address, this makes sense only if you want to use it as a "new" payment method on another NetSol account, preferably on a different device... otherwise you are only confusing NetSol's algorithms even more! :sneaky:

so i just sold a domain via afternic without fast transfer enabled (from netsol). the 60 day lock was still in place, but netsol gave me the auth code and let me unlock anyway.

i uploaded the auth code to afternic as per their directions, and i thought i'd get away with a fast transfer lol.

But, afternic emailed me and said since the domain is under 60 day lock, the buyer wont get the domain until march 25.


So that means that you won't get in trouble for adding netsol to your afternic portfolio if it sails.

On the other hand, now i'm worried the buyer will be angry and refund :'(

If the buyer insists, afternic can push the domain to a buyer's netsol account.

Thank you so much for the info! So, that means if the buyer threatens to not go through with the sale, afternic will offer to push to netsol? That's awesome!

Still able to register without issue trying some of the methods mentioned in this thread. That 400 a Day has to be quite a few garbage ones. I feel accomplished if I get 5 to 10. Just because it’s a buck doesn’t mean everything is worth registering.

i don't really think afternic cares more for the sale than you do... which probably means u will have to ask afternic to push.. and not wait for them to offer.

but why wait for buyer to threaten... I'd call them now, say how things are and if possdible do push right away.

I've made some sales with locked domains and all waited for the lock to expire, except one which went with a push. I offered the push on all of them but afternic seems to favor a transfer.

buyer came from afternic. they did a price request, so i put in a BIN, and then they BIN'd a week or so later.

So afternic is the only one who can talk to the buyer at this point.

it's true, but some people have lists they've made in advance. So it can't all be garbage`.

well, yes, since afternic is GD, they want the commission AND the autorenewals. So they'd love the domain at GD.

Anyway, i'm liking afternic's fast response! Look:

"Hi Justin,

We will provide the buyer with the options and let you know when we hear back. If we do not hear we will assume they are willing to wait for the lock to be up.

Thanks,
Rebecca"

yes I know

me I was suggesting you call afternic not the buyer... and tell themn to push cause its locked.
instead of buyer to threaten refunds :)

Have not tried yet, will try later today.

it was a back and forth, but all that happend pretty much was them telling me they dont know why its locked and then me telling them to unlock them and then them saying they did so but it still not working and then them giving up saying they now unlocked itll take 30 mins for the system to update, 30mins latter (and hours later) it still didnt work, same story about 3x, until the call today, where it now finally worked.
