Fwiw, Jenny C. is in my Assignees list (one sale).

I received a six-figure offer for one of my domain names on August 30th. I responded immediately and the negotiation process began. However, despite sending messages via dashboard and email on September 3rd, 5th, and 9th, I have received no news from the broker assigned to the lead for 11 days.

Just when a solid deal was about to be struck, could I please find out the reason for this almost two-week period of silence, dear @GoDaddy? Are you unable to keep your business partners updated throughout the process?

Moreover, I can see that the same broker is active on other new inquiries that have come in since then!

New landers for price request

I think this will convert very well for domains under 100 USD.

Afternic now requires sending a verification code via email every time I log in. Today, I found that I couldn't receive Afternic's verification code email. I clicked on resend but still couldn't receive it

As an alternative, you could log in using an app that generates time-based one-time passcodes (TOTP) for two-factor authentication (2FA), such as Google Authenticator or Authy. Unlike email verification codes, these apps generate the code locally on your device, so you're not dependent on an email actually arriving.

Some example TOTP apps:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azure.authenticator

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.authy.authy

I have received it now, with a delay of 10 minutes

When will Afternic allow us to require a down payment for LTO names? (either X% or $X as the first up-front payment, then $X per month for X months)

When will Afternic have a proper API so we can manage our domains centrally ?

I found that if Afternic uses buy it now (bin) lander, accessing it in China will still be a request price lander, and accessing it outside of China will be a buy it now (bin) lander.

I keep forgetting to ask this... why do Leased domains that were completed still show up in your Portfolio Summary as if they are still part of your portfolio? Sold domains don't show up there so why do completed leases?

Yes, I find that odd as well.

I have a domain in my GD account listed on afternic but it shows the registrar as

Hexonet Services Inc / 1API​

I don't want to have to pay 30% if it sells. I contacted them, waiting for reply...

It's not about the registrar, but about the nameservers that are detected when your domain sells (moment of payment is leading).
