You can try refreshing as that may bring up the info, but it doesn't solve the entire problem.

Same here. I also had it happen once or twice last week too, but it went away pretty quickly.

I got 2 leads since yesterday that went immediately on “Stalled” without even an assigned broker.
This happens for leads afternic automation system flags as low quality.
I sincerely hope it has nothing to do with the error going on since yesterday.

Godaddy buy brokers are Terrible if they cant close a deal right away they are done with you ,,,they have millions of domains on their desk ,we are just a miniscule POS to them,afternic is usually a different story ,the buy service collects 109 upfront which is negotiable only domainers know that,so right off the bat the buyer has skin in the game,and if the brokers just sell 10% ,,,,,,they cant even handle that. buy it now ,,,,,price fair and sell ,,,godaddy does get eyeballs ,,,,,BBBBBBBBUUUUUTTTTTTT if you look at atom volume for your domains on archive.org it really get explosive traffic for your domains ,but maybe this comes mostly from views at the site

Now 3 , in a row

And my @GoDaddy account rep just confirmed nothing is likely to happen over the weekend.

Of course, now I will have to contact the buyer again and explain the situation.

If I was a buyer at this point, it would almost seem like I am being scammed by the seller.

Why is everything with Afternic such an inefficient pain in the ass?

I will post a full timeline of events once this transaction actually completes.

I just got an email from Afternic saying my custom checkout link expires in 24 hours.

The domain has been paid for and is listed as "SOLD" in my Afternic account. I am still waiting on the transfer to happen.

It's pretty bad though that GoDaddy, Afternic, and Dan.com (the checkout link) seem to have no communication with each other regarding the transaction status.

@GoDaddy Why did you not escalate the case of @bmugford and buyer?

 

[bmugford]

@GoDaddy Why did you not escalate the case of @bmugford and buyer?

After I messaged James, the domain at least moved to the "SOLD" status after a few days of no communication with either party.

Then there was some issue with the transfer. I unlocked and provided the AUTH code, and nothing happened.

When I talked to my @GoDaddy account rep on Friday, he talked to someone at Afternic. That is when I was told nothing was likely to happen over the weekend.

Then I apologized to the buyer on behalf of GoDaddy, explaining that it was not me dragging my feet.

As of now, the domain status still just shows "OK". It has not been moved to Afternic's account and is not in "pendingtransfer".

The buyer paid on Tuesday morning. Tomorrow is Monday, 6 days later.

What is actually going on? I have no idea.

@bmugford, I appreciate your dedication in monitoring the entire process on behalf of GoDaddy. Let's hope they compensate you with a reduced commission for the hours you've invested in assisting them.
