Problem with verifying Domain at Flippa

[drkossa]

Hello,

i want to sell my domain at flippa. They are registered at 123-reg.co.uk.

Flippa wants to verify that im the legitimate owner. So there are 2 possibilities. They find an email in they know is mine in my whois or they find a txt record i added.

The first solution (email whois) cant work because it's not allowed in co.uk, so i added the txt record. I added it weeks ago so it should have been populated. But flippa cant find it. The flippa-support cant help me. And the support of 123-reg.co.uk can only tell me that i created the txt record successfully and cant help me further.


I checked it myself at network-tools.com/nslook/Default.asp and cant find the txt record either.

So whats the problem?

You've just registered the domain and it looks like it hasn't verified/completed yet

Registration status:
Registration request being processed.

For this to work your domain should be using 123reg name servers. Since you are setting up the DNS records at 123reg.
I suppose that is the case but verify that your domain is indeed using the proper name servers.

But I wouldn't be surprised that it's a bug from 123.
They even failed at registering domains.

Alternatively use another DNS service, yours or another like he.net.

Edit:
From the command line it works

dig txt causal.co.uk

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-16.P1.el5 <<>> txt ###########.co.uk

This works too:
