Why have transfers all of a sudden become a pain in the butt?

I'm betting they're using a new AI Fraud Detector on transfers and there are a lot of false positives.

Is there any ssl certification issues with .si domains? All my other domains seem to be fine...

It's possible, however this was a less than $300 transaction.

Whatever the issue is, it has been reported to James, my Afternic and GoDaddy reps. They are aware of it.

I just want whatever is broken to get fixed.

Manual workarounds are slow and annoying.

@GoDaddy Several marketplaces are currently working on inclusion of multiple domains in a single custom checkout transaction. Is this possible already, or on the radar, at Afternic?

AtomPay implemented this just a few days after I requested it, around the same time I posted about it here in the Afternic thread.

@GoDaddy In your NameFind lander experiments, I'd at least try to show the domain name on a single line without wrapping.

And what's the "$2B+ domains brokered" thing all about?

Having the same issue. I advise people to check their .si domains landing pages if pointed to Afternic. Someone at Godaddy needs to get on top of this issue as its been going on for days now.

What the heck is this grayed-out price (not my domain). Also, GoDaddy's cart doesn't work for me atm (spins forever).

I have not received any response yet.

I thought this transaction was going to move quickly, so did the seller.

I asked for Afternic to just cancel the transaction if it is going to take forever, so we can complete it via another method. Either that, or let's figure out what is happening and move it along.

Then, fix whatever the underlying issue is.

Completely unacceptable. Please @GoDaddy a response would be appreciated.

I know @GoDaddy is reading this thread. The account has a post count, so it clearly knows where the reply button is.

Reading and caring are not the same thing (as you well know). My expectations on this front are low based on my years of experience with GoDaddy.
