Is Namecheap Auction not open to everyone?

[iDat]

Hi, talked with their support and they say only their partners can use marketplace auction?

Can anyone please shed some light on this? Anyone here used their marketplace auction?

Maybe they have join fee?

That's what they've told me too, but the domains the have listed do not seem like they would come from anyone higher up than ordinary people like us.

Maybe it's just for their staff to liquidate the shit they don't want anymore (lol, kidding, kinda)

$5 join fee to participate, if I am not mistaken.

No, that's GoDaddy.

there is no option like that. Can you see from your account?

Try this:

Go to Marketplace -> Market Dashboard -> Settings

There should be an option for subscription.

The other way is just try to place a bid, it will prompt you to subscribe (at least that worked for me).

I think you can only bid but can't auction domains.
I stand to be corrected though.

I request them many times to give me a chance to join the auction but they reject me every time. I have 300+ domains on NameCheap. But the auction is not for me. I do not know why...

I also thought the $5 charge was for domain auction.
After paying $5 I realised the money was for bidding.
