@GoDaddy

I see Godaddy and all others are showing a "premium" tag for standard renewal new tlds sold by owners

As registries have their "premium" tiers with high renewals, this may be confusing for prospective buyers to see the stardard renewal sold by owner also with the premium tag added

I suggest for the stardard renewal fee sold by owners show them as: Domain for sale: sold by owner.

Instead of "premium".

Or add the text "stardard renewal fee of x price"

Thanks

New issue with Afternic!

Domain names that are successfully listed on Afternic account are not visible on Afternic marketplace. Is there anyone facing this issue?

Afternic is totally messed up.

There's only one fundamental thing they have to do: LISTING DOMAIN NAMES!

Since they can't even do that, what is the purpose of their existence?

Same here

If you’re selling Registry Premium domains on Afternic, these will now show up at GoDaddy Auctions and in GoDaddy search!

Unfortunately, it is still not possible to list registry premium domain names as a 7-day auction.

Recently, some domain names have started to be deleted from my account for no reason. How can someone easily list the domain name I own in their Afternic account when I have to do TXT record verification for previously listed domains?

Even worse; I started getting fast-transfer approval requests for these domain names that have disappeared from my account.

If I don't pay attention and check, I will approve the request and someone will probably transfer this domain name $20, which I bought after spending $240 and with a market value of $$$$

This is a very serious and critical security weakness!

You should urgently develop a system called AFTERNIC-ID that can be defined to registrar companies and can be used for mutual inquiry and account verification.

Hi @justsand,
We're sorry to hear that - could you tell us more via DM?

Hi @fardomai,
Afternic encountered a brief error yesterday, but it was resolved quickly. Thanks for your patience and for reporting your experience here!

Unfortunately, it is still not possible to list registry premium domain names as a 7-day auction.

Hi @kor,
The Registry Premium announcement referred to additional exposure for Registry Premium Afternic-listed domains through GoDaddy Auctions and GoDaddy Search. More features may come in the future for GoDaddy Auctions.

Hi @kor,
It would be highly unusual for domains to be deleted from an account, especially with no reasoning. Can you provide us with some examples via DM?

It would be highly unusual for domains to be deleted from an account, especially with no reasoning.

So, basically you're accusing me of lying?!

The domain name I listed is deleted for no reason, then someone else was able to add the domain name I have without verification, and on top of that, I receive a fast transfer request for this domain name that is not listed in my own account.

I have screenshots, I have email records. But this situation is "highly unusual", eh? I'm not an AI and I do not generate fabricated content.

I strongly recommend that you consider my AFTERNIC-ID account verification suggestion.

 

[Jannes]

^That has happened to me on Dan (but of course without a fast transfer request to make me aware of what might be going on), so I don't see why it couldn't happen on Afternic too. Customer support is vulnerable to social engineering?

edit: and I am specifically talking about my already listed name being replaced by a bogus listing by a scammer (so not the typical front runner scenario where someone lists your non-listed name)

Although it still appears as the payment method in the account settings, I have heard that you no longer make Afternic payments as "Good as Gold"

Is this true?

"No Data Found" is what is shown under the "Needs attention" tab.

When you click further to "More / All" you should see all leads.

It's all blank

Ah okay. I'm still seeing all leads in that section.

No such redirect from All to Needs Attention here.

FWIW, this is the direct link to the "All" section, does that work on your side?
