Drew Z.: eDomus. com, can't get a reply to my question.

Does anyone work over there? Do they even send those emails? No calls anymore? Is anything happening at all?

Sleep on, I guess. I'll move my names elsewhere soon enough. Terrible not knowing ANYTHING.

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.

That's wonderful to hear, @lennco! Thanks for your feedback on Self-Brokerage. Please feel free to share any additional thoughts with us as we work on building the next set of features for Self-Brokerage.

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 ?

Hi @NameGroove,
There are certain extensions (including .si) that Afternic supports, which aren't available for registration through GoDaddy. These extensions, which can be explored here, are supported where available on Afternic's reseller network and the Request Price lander.

@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.

Hi @DN_Hunter,
Please could you DM us the domains?

Still no answer after almost a week???

Hi @johnn,
Could you DM us the domain in question?

PR has been working way better for me than BIN landers. But yeah, now it's too unpredictable.

@GoDaddy Do brokers even see messages? Keep sending emails but ignore the seller? And still no attempt to reach out to the potential buyer via phone.

Dear Afternic Support Team,


I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek clarification and assistance regarding a domain I recently sold through Afternic, which is currently under a 60-day lock period. According to your agent’s previous communication, the domain cannot be transferred to another registrar until the lock is resolved, and you would need to contact the buyer to proceed. I was informed that I would be notified once the buyer responds or the lock is lifted.

It has been four days since I followed up with your team, inquiring whether it is possible to push the domain from one Dynadot account to another, as the domain is registered with Dynadot. Unfortunately, I have not received a response to my messages.

Could you kindly provide an update on the status of this matter ?

 

[silentg]

Increased number of stalled leads because brokers don't pick up the phone and call the buyer.

 

[domainer8888]

and another fast and smooth sale from transfer to payout. Guys, save yourself the brokerage headache and go BIN.

Afternic has a dynadot account .Why don't they just accept the push to their dynadot account and then pay you while they wait it out ?

Hi @DomainFQ.com,
Congrats on your sale! Afternic's TA system notifies our team about the 60-day lock. From there, our TA agents contact the buyer to check if they're willing to receive the domain at the current registrar.

Without specific details available, it seems like the TA team is waiting for the buyer's response. Once we hear back, a TA agent will reach out to you. However, you're welcome to contact Afternic's TA team either through your TA sales dashboard or via live chat at afternic.com/contact. Under "Request Type," we recommend selecting "Sales Transaction Status."

They used to be better at accepting pushes. Nowadays they'll rather cancel the sale.
