So, I sold a .co.uk domain on afternic that I'd listed just a few days ago (more on this awesome hand reg to $860 in a week sale if goes well and I can sort out this transfer).
I get this email from afternic:
The problem is that this isn't how .co.uk domains are transferred, they get changed by nominet tag and don't use authorisation codes. The domain is at namecheap and here are my transfer options:
An 'IPS tag' is a nominet tag, I know that Godaddy has one. But I can't find anything on the afternic website about uk domain transfers, which is a bit odd as there are thousands upon thousands of them listed.
So what on earth do I do now? I've pinged a message the TA agent, although I don't seem to find where that message goes which I find odd as I'd have thought there would be a dialogue or 'sent messages' function of some sort. If I do get a reply... how can I be confident that he understands UK domains?
Even if they provide me with their IPS tag I'm still unable to enter an authorisation code, which is what they want here:
Finding this really rather frustrating as this buyer could have bought from my Dan.com lander as I wouldn't have listed on Afternic if I knew Afternic was this complicated for UK domains, Dan has a really smooth process.
Has anybody completed a .co.uk sale on Afternic, and if so how did that get resolved?
And is there an afternic representative on this forum that may be able to assist or direct me to some useful documentation? And if so, can you please @ them for me?
Thanks
