I requested to transfer INTO Doteasy 9 .biz domains. I've put them into the Doteasy Shopping cart, paid and checked out. I got a confirmation Email shortly after:

Here is my problem with this:
1. There was NO mention of any of this whatsoever ANYWHERE on the Doteasy website.
2. I didn't have to do that when I transferred the only other domain I have with Doteasy into there previously.
3. Surely in 2023, it would not be a problem to make their website actually explain this to customer when/before ordering and NOT let the customer proceed in the first place UNLESS they would select the 2 years.
I feel this is highly unusual and a REAL SCAM! Please advise how to proceed (I do not want to purchase 2 years for those domains at this time). Is it possible to report Doteasy to ICANN for this?
