Afternic forever troubled….new listings don’t populate price for BIN landers….

[M999]

Does anyone have an in at afternic/GD to get problems fixed?

I listed 10 domains yesterday and moved to BIN landers (yes, within afternic beta).

None of these new listings are showing price on their GD BIN lander…

I assume everyone is having same problem.

Yeah, your experience isn’t an isolated one.

I discovered that when I update listing prices at Afternic, the updated prices are visible at Afternic, but they sometimes don’t propagate to GoDaddy, the domain’s landing page, and/or, some partner registrars. I’m not talking about a few minutes lag here; I’m talking hours and days after… And this has been happening for a few weeks.

Today, I also noticed that some of my new listings aren’t even visible at GoDaddy. Again, hours and days after they were listed at Afternic.

@GoDaddy I sent an email about this, and I shared examples in my email.

Something’s clearly wrong. Please investigate and resolve this.

Yup I'm experiencing the same thing. Often the domain loads with a normal BIN lander as intended, but sometimes for the same domain, I get the price request lander with the form, or the "Want to find if this domain is for sale? Give us a call." lander. This is clearly a global issue, everything is set up correctly on my end. Stop A/B testing on our domains lol. If you want to add a separate auto-optimized lander option, that would be fine.

i despise people trying to upload my names to afternic.

It’s an open invitation to steal, and if you dont remember authorizing afternic listing: DO NOT ACCEPT.

I think it might be best to add every domain you own, even if you don't intend to sell them on afternic. With the new verification system, you're *probably* safe from others claiming your domains

 

[M999]

Please DM us a couple of example domain names, we're happy to help you make sure that your prices are displaying.


Again, if you're able to DM us a couple of example domains, we'll look at your process and see what's happening.

@GoDaddy

This isn't isolated - as evidenced by the posts above. The entire system fails on a weekly basis.

Since we have been dealing with this indiscriminate/recurring BS for years, is it possible that Charles Beadnell take a look at this personally? And...fix this issue once and for all?

Yeah, and setting the listing to "hidden" _may_ also help (or may not, I think I saw privileged users adding my "hidden" domains as theirs via API. Might well be some other bug though).

Unfortunately, not accepting fast transfer authorization does not mean that the listings would become inactive Listings submitted by fraudsters are still distributed to afternic standard network, just without fast transfer...

Its definitely something going on at Afternic. All day I have not been able to sign in using my android smartphone. I have to now use my laptop to sign in. I been signing in with my android cellphone for years without any problems.

Same issue as you mentioned for weeks now. Have to email them every time I list a domain to "enable" the BIN! Very frustrating.

 

[Jannes]

As we mentioned above, if you're able to DM us a couple of examples, we'd be happy to work with you to ensure that your domains are displaying the correct Buy It Now price.

(emphasis mine)

Why can't/won't you fix it for ALL? No one cares how happy you are when working with individuals. Fix the system.

Charles Beadnall is a total failure as far as I can tell. I have never encountered a platform that suffers the same problems year after year - like godaddy does.​

i have no idea who Charles Beadnall is until i googled: He is the ”Godaddy Chief Technology Officer”.

@Vivere you mentioned that you have sent us some examples. Could you share that email with [email protected]?

I emailed Afternic Support ([email protected]). They’ve responded to my email and resolved the issues with the specific domains I mentioned. In their response, they mentioned that they’re aware of the (general) issue and are actively investigating it. For the benefit of others here, I’m sharing a relevant excerpt of their response below:

@GoDaddy: Thanks for following up on specific cases. We also need you to follow up with your team, so they really make this a "top priority" and come up with general solutions for all.

P.S.: I’m waiting for Afternic’s feedback on yet another issue… If that doesn’t get resolved, I’ll reach out via the email address you shared.

I totally removed all my domains at afternic and Dan

I totally removed all my domains at afternic and Dan

Where'd you move to?

 

[M999]

This also affects price changes on existing listings.

 

[Pierre Barnard]

I agree with @Vivere, I have also sent the emails as requested by @GoDaddy and the issues were dealt with swiftly. Will monitor going forward.

It wasn't Afternic fault. I had to clear the cache on my smartphone. All is working fine now...

 

[skshogun]

Happening also on my .us names. Sent an email, also no response from Afternic yet...

Are you promoting Epik?

 

[M999]

@GoDaddy any idea when we might be able to use afternic beta on mobile device and be able to actually see the leads on the “lead center”.

It’s been two/three or so months and beta still doesn’t work on a mobile device.

Charles? Is this that difficult?

I randomly checked a handful of domains that have been entered into the Afternic system over the last few weeks.. I haven't checked many and I have already found two that are not showing price on BIN lander. When I change price it shows right away. BUT, how do I know what names are no longer showing price if I don't indivually check them all. Afternic needs to fix this!!!
