This is really beginning to upset me. THEY emailed ME saying my 2 Moniker names weren't unlocked (despite the fact I went in and unlocked them for transfer, Moniker decided not to unlock them - weird). I went through and unlocked them again, confirmed they were unlocked, and emailed DomainTools back the same day saying they were unlocked.

I just address this part of your post. I had the same problem with Moniker transferring some .nets to Fabulous. I do know how to transfer domains away from Moniker. I followed procedure, the domains were unlocked. I put in the transfer request, only to find moniker had relocked every domain in my account. So it's not just you.

I am waiting for one to transfer yet as well and still no word on payments. The not responding to emails is getting pretty old. Does DT have a phone number?

 

[gramma]

try emailing [email protected]

i'm still waiting too -one domain transferred - the other 2 in limbo.
I think this should be top priority for them right now - so we have a good taste in our mouth for the next auction.

I would imagine this will take sometime. I do recall that DNJournal reports TRAFFIC auction sales often times a 1.5 months after the auction, because of the length of closing the sale. I think if your all patient, everything will work out.

The support ticked I submitted over a week ago at DT has yet to be answered, so I posted my comments on their public blog which seems to be the only place they communicate lately. Maybe we can start a trend if you also post your comments there:
http://blog.domaintools.com/2007/08/first-domaintools-live-auction-results/#comments

I was actually charged for my purchase on 8/17. It was transferred to enom in the name of DT on 8/26. It's now 9/5, and I've not yet heard anything about receiving it.

My sold name has had it's transfer window closed a second time, but I'm waiting for them to contact me about attempting a transfer before I unlock and get a new EPP code again. Therefore the person who purchased my name won't even see that a transfer has been requested yet.

Still hoping, but getting impatient.

 

[Name Trader]

Entirely unprofessional. I think the great hopes we had for another venue to sell domains has been burnt to ashes.

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say it that way. They may smell a little of smoke, but I don't think their burnt....yet.

It seems to me a company that has never done this before maybe just bit off a little more than they could chew with the staff they have. They have never auctioned before live or online, and did both simultaneously while running a live show. They have never to my knowledge operated as an escrow company before, and maybe should have outsourced that this time. They appear to have written all the software to manage things as they went along or at least at the last minute. They did manage to hype the first auction enough to get sales into the millions which I applaud, even if it maybe didn't live up to the hype 100%. I'm pretty sure they'll get things right in the end, but it does seem like they are inventing things as they go along instead of using a well planned and tested post auction procedure.

I think in effect we are beta testers at the moment, but I have a fair amount of confidence they'll work out the kinks in the future.

I'm one of the ones that bought and sold yet was charged for my purchases. I noticed this immediately and after a few days, it was fixed. Unfortunately because I am in Canada, the mix up cost me over $100 because American express credits back a lower conversion rate than what they charge I haven't gone to them on this because I'm more interested in having the actual transactions dealt with. The domain I sold was @ namecheap. Received the email they sent to enom registrants saying to update the auth code since it would be a push. Replied to that 2x saying you can't push from namecheap to enom. Last time was yesterday and got the auth request from Enom today. The name I purchased has been in their escrow account over a week now but I just received the email yesterday to give my username @ enom for the push.

I think one of the problems with this whole thing is that as difficult as it is for 'domainers' imagine for people not used to dealing with domains to begin with? Most of my sales have been on the corporate side - at least the sizable ones. I know how impatient they can get even dealing with escrow.com etc. I can't imagine people outside of the domain industry having the patience for this system.

What I really liked was the webcast of the auction and the interface for bidding. But the pre-auction and post-auction structure has been sorely disappointing.

Payment Pushed!!!!

I opend up my paypal account this morning and the payment is sitting in there looking so ever pretty. Check your paypal, mailboxes etc ASAP!

No payment here. Here you had me all excited

Paypal can't handle anything over 10k, other wise that's the method I would have chosen. Sounds like wire wasn't the fastest method. Congrats on being the first to get paid!

 

[Nattydomain]

I also did send them 2 support tickets that went unsupported. Guess I was just lucky

 

[DotWeekly]

Has anybody got a recent reply to any emails sent to DT? Atleast they could update us a little. It would take 2 minutes to come here and post a little update.

Payments will be sent......
Domains that have not been transfered yet need to ......
etc

 

[Domagon]

So you haven't received payment yet for the domain I bought?

They received my money well over 3 weeks ago back on August 20th...

And furthermore, it appears both domains I bought were transferred ages ago into eNom - and are ready to be pushed to me ...

I can't understand why nothing is happening - getting concerned.

For some reason 2 of the domains i sold just will NOT transfer into enom - i have no idea what the problem is - i've written- asked - blogged - can't we just push to godaddy - or direct to the buyer - I'm ready - willing - just not ABLE for unknown reasons. Godaddy, where the domains are, say they haven't recieved a transfer request ... DT says they had one rejected - so i don't know what the heck is going on with my deal.
so flippin frustrating!

No payment yet. I transfered Voys.com and VacantHouse.com as soon as I got the email. Both are at enom just sitting in DT's account. I tried to transfer CompanyManger.com but it was rejected, but now is ready and I am waiting upon DT to reiniate the transfer with no reply to 3 emails that I have sent them.

 

[Devil_Dog]

My names have been at nameintelligence for weeks. One was an immediate push and the other a pretty quick transfer.

Just wondering what the holdup is.

Same here. I tried to call today, and it's some dumb recording and I was never able to talk to a live person.

Could this be the largest domain/money heist in history? I see no reason for no contact for weeks? Come on Jay, don't leave us hanging.

 

[Spade]

Could this be the largest domain/money heist in history?

Even if that were the case, and this was a heist... I believe the Sex.com heist would still take the cake...

... with no reply to 3 emails that I have sent them.

Maybe they are trying to live up to Sedo's standards !

...Hey Justin, happy new job :tu: Congrats
