Afternic - Official Thread

[GoDaddy]

Hello NamePros!
By popular demand, we have launched a dedicated feedback thread for Afternic, the GoDaddy-owned domain name marketplace.

We have created this thread as a way for you to tell us what works, what doesn't work, and what features you'd like to see at Afternic (please be constructive with your feedback). We're looking forward to hearing from the domain investment community to help us shape the future of Afternic.

We will also be sharing Afternic product updates in this thread.

Please note that this thread is not meant for support. Please email our support team at [email protected] for assistance.

Good find.

@Picassoface What is the TLD?

Probably one of below

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)

This is something we're working on right now. We'll share more updates once it's live!

Thanks. Don't forget to integrate the down payment option into the CSV for bulk management.

Also, make clear whether the first LTO term payment is due immediately together with the down payment, or separately. Currently, each marketplace handles this differently.

@GoDaddy I haven't seen this lander before, I would like to try it but I can't find where to activate it.

You can't. It's a NameFind lander from GoDaddy's own inventory. They're experimenting with several layouts.

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!

It’s been exactly 20 days since I heard back from the broker! I haven’t received any response from James either, other than his attempts to brush the issue aside via private message.

What a professional and reliable organization, one that truly deserves a $15k commission!

In recognition of your outstanding failures, I’d like to offer you a small gift @GoDaddy; please print this out and hang it at the entrance to the Afternic office:

I’m sure it’ll really liven up the atmosphere!​
