question Domain transfer

[Inframan]

I made my first domain transfer.

Question

Am I under a 60 day lock before I can list the domain for sale?

I contacted Porkbun support they weren't 100% positive. They said maybe I should wait just to prevent any delays if the domain sold.

I looked at ICAAN.

There are some circumstances under which a registrar must deny a transfer request, and some circumstances where the registrar has the option to deny a transfer.

Your registrar may deny a transfer request in the following limited circumstances:

Evidence of fraud
Reasonable dispute over the identity of the person authorizing the transfer
Domain name is on hold due to payment owed for a previous registration period (including credit card charge-backs)
Express written objection from the domain name holder
Domain name is in "Lock" status (Registrars must provide a readily accessible and reasonable means for name holders to remove the lock status. Contact your registrar for assistance.)
Domain name is within 60 days of initial registration
Domain name is within 60 days of a previous transfer <----- Does this apply to me?

Domain Status:
clientDeleteProhibited

clientTransferProhibited

When you remove the Lock for this domain in the Porkbun dashboard, does the Domain Status change?

@Inframan Please look for the "IANA ID" - but I guess it's Porkbun as you said.

The only confusing thing still is that you bought if "from" Sedo.

I did a search for .NET on Sedo in my price range. I bought it after looking at 12 different websites. That's how I found out about the potential trademark and renewal costs. Since the domain was registered before any of the companies were formed, I didn't see it as a trademark infringement. I just need to completely look at the wayback machine to see the history.

The domain is currently locked.

I don't know where the name was registered before it was transferred to Porkbun but it isn't important.

You don't have to wait 60 days to sell it. If it does sell the buyer would just need an account at Porkbun. You could then push the domain to their account at any time.

Thanks. After reading everything it seems the ball is in Porkbuns court.

This is Porkbuns direct response.

Thanks for reaching out. While you should still be able to list a domain that's still within the 60-day transfer wait period for sale, there may be delays if a buyer purchases the domain and is then awaiting delivery of it. I would recommend waiting for the 60 days to elapse before listing the domain for sale to avoid that kind of inconvenience for the buyer.

Update

Thanks for all replies.

The domain now resolves to the landing page.

When I now turn off domain lock it doesn't say.

clientDeleteProhibited
clientTransferProhibited

Sedo confirmed it's Porkbuns discretion whether they choose to hold the domain for 60 days.

Glad it works.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

The 60 day lock after a transfer between registrars is pretty standard.

This is 1 of worst things about this industry.
They say 60 day transfer lock is for “safety”
I say it “safely” kills liquidity.

After transfer domain, waiting 60 days, to xfer out, sucks.

The winning registrar gets to decide, whether to hold for 60 days.

The winning registrar gets to decide, whether to hold for 60 days.

Generally it's the Registry and their ICANN contract that decides on the time-periods regarding transfers since registration, previous transfer, renewal and update.

Whilst there are provisions in some tlds for a gaining registrar to still pay the registry for an inbound transfer within a protected time-window most will not lt as you dont get the additional year added.

Unless the rules have changed, generally:

1) You can't transfer a domain from one registrar to another if under 60 day lock. The lock applies to domains that are new registrations or have been transferred.
2) You usually can push a domain to an account that is within the same registrar, regardless if it fresh reg or transfer from somewhere else.

Sedo is a marketplace, not a domain registrar. There is no direct DNS management through Sedo.
