I am posting this just to show how fast one can negotiate with Self Brokering compared to Brokered.
Negotiations started on Monday afternoon and Agreement Reached by Wednesday afternoon.

Of course your mileage may vary when negotiating

A follow up.
Payout for this transaction has been scheduled.
I do not use Fast Transfers, I prefer to do manual transfers and this transaction was still completed from the beginning of negotiations to scheduled payout all within 4 days using Self Brokering.

This 1099 thing is going to be a clusterfuck for accountants this year.

I talked to my CPA, and she had to go to a bunch of advanced education about it.

It's an entirely new process that is going to lead to headaches, so to incorrectly do it in the first place and correct it so late is not really acceptable.

GoDaddy's financial and legal departments are massive. They should have been well aware of what was required on their end.

Question for anyone who received a 1099-k: how did Afternic pay you for sales? I'm curious if anyone who got paid out through PayPal received a 1099-k.

Yes. All payments through PayPal and 1099-K received.

I'm finding an interesting issue. Afternic accepts .si names on its platform - but GoDaddy doesn't sell them. Seems sort of backwards no? Maybe this TLD is legacy from before GD bought Afternic?

So .si will only be shown for sale in its FT network (but not GD)? @GoDaddy ?

@Afternic
What happened today -- all of a sudden 7 names went missing from my account. Luckily I had a download from this morning to compare against a portfolio download from a few minutes ago. How did you randomly remove 7 names from my account???

Everyone else, maybe check your Afternic account to see if any names went missing...

NOTE: I had to add them back into my account just now. No conflict with another account. The names just went missing and I was able to add them back.

PayPal will deduct 2.99% from the total amount received
