just wanted to complement gd auctions and @Joe Styler
for implementing a brand new post sale payment/transfer flow! which is only 534553454 times more efficient than that ridiculous thing they had before... with 20 day payment wait (if name not on gd).. emailing buyer with code and wait for him rto begin transfer etc...
so congrats on that
not sure when it got implemented cause I did not have sale on gd auctions for couple months now.. until last nite... but basically, last nite buyer accepted my offer... paid right away.. payment was verified within few hours.. then I got email to go enter auth code (no more buyer emailing).. then once entered they begin automatically transfer right away into gd escrow account.. and once confirmed (expediated or not), payout email comes in... which I think is max 3 days from that point.
nice job. bit overdue but still.. better late than never for sure!
its too bad they have txt record verifies since gdpr... cause this just loses a lot of sales for sellers and for GD.. I'm sure they noticed that right Joe? cause txt records aren't really feasible for people with many names across 10-15 registrars... some of which have no bulk txt edits.. and others require default dns setting to change txt record... luckily we can still send names to gd auction through afternic.. but its not the same at all! personally, I am no fan at all of those afternic price request emails.. then bin settings floor etc... I'd much rather just do everything through gd auctions!!!
so... @Joe Styler ..... any chance at all u can at least do like sedo and allow people to modify DNS to something like ns1.godaddy.com ..... for 1-2 days.. just to verify the names in this way? dns changes are easy on all rgistrars... do you think this is a feedback you can send to yoru people??? cause this is exactly what sedo allows people to do.. as alternative to txt record verifies... I mean you can't possibly be happy getting so many fewer sales due to many people not doing txt record verifies.. this hurts people sales.. and your biz too..
cheers
