Beginner here. Need advice on Cloudfare.

[beginnnerdomainer]

So I initially hand regged 10 domains with Godaddy but I hate their customer service and just overall the UI of the website. I switched to Cloudfare to hand reg another 10, but turns out I can't change nameservers to point to afternic or any other sale lander pages. What do I do now? If I transfer my domains from Cloudfare to Godaddy, will I have to pay a fee? Can I transfer before the 60 day lock period ends?

will I have to pay a fee

Yes, and then it would be renewed for another year(s) additionally too.

transfer before the 60 day lock

No, these are ICANN rules. It can be only pushed to another Cloudflare acc in first 60 days.

Is there no other way to list these domains for sale on afternic then? Should I wait the 60 days to transfer? What would you do?

You can list them whenever you want, it's just a marketplace, you just can't transfer sold domain to another registrar in first 60 days (but can push it within same registrar, Cloudflare in your case).

I listed them in Afternic (my Cloudfare domains) but the domains don't lead to a BIN page or anything, it's just a "cant reach this page" and I thought it was because I can't point the nameservers to Afternic. So what's the point of listing it on Afternic if I can't have a lander page so a person can view it?

I don't understand why you can't change your NS at Cloudflare, DNS usually updated in 48 hours globally, so wait or reach Cloudflare support if nothing happens.

Cloudflare automatically assigns nameservers to a domain and these assignments cannot be changed.

I guess I understand you now, read this https://community.cloudflare.com/t/how-do-i-change-name-servers/557691/10

You can configure a redirect rule in the Cloudflare dashboard that points to the Afternic Sales page.

Note: you will be paying a higher commission fee to Afternic when a domain sells and you're not using GoDaddy/Afternic-branded nameservers at the time of sale.

I appreciate all the info and thanks for the link! Bummer that the commission rate is still the same.

In the future, use these registrars:

1. Spaceship.com
2. Porkbun.com
3. Dynadot.com
4. Sav.com
5. Namesilo.com

They are investor-friendly with better support and pricing.
