Thank you
@Joe Styler . The reasons why I'm still using premium listings (together with Afternic) for GD-regged domains are 2 known afternic issues, namely:
1) Sometimes, active afternic domains may mystically (and temporary) go to "in review" status without any logical reason. Once, a few years ago (related posts can be found in this thread), ALL domains of ALL customers became PENDING REVIEW on a weekend! So, premium listings as an alternative channel allows to at least continue offering the affected domains on GoDaddy. I admit that I did not see this issue repeating itself during at least 5-6 months. Is it actually located and fixed?
2)
*unwanted feature*. I appreciate that Afternic sends my BIN listings to auctions.godaddy.com., but, unfortunately, GoDaddy/Afternic knowingly ignores my afternic setup as to floor price or mn. offer. I normally set all 4 pricing fields to be the same. This is because I do not want to receive or process offers. Unfortunately, auctions.godaddy.com still accepts offers on my
PURE BIN afternic listings, with ~70% min. offer. It was discussed before. Resultingly, I have to explain this again and again to different afternic brokers who promptly email me each time such an offer is received!
However, since the premium listings are showed instead of afternic ones, my GoDaddy domains are not affected by the above (if confgured as premium listings together with afternic).
Joe, are there any chances for afternic/godaddy to finally start respecting sellers configurations while distributing listings to auctions.godaddy.com ?
As for the issue I orginally referred to (delayed delivery of aftermarket domains sold by GoDaddy), it actually happens with both channels. And, it still happens. Afternic domains are first "pending sale" for a few days. Premium listings, as there is no "pending sale" for them, are reported as SOLD to my email, but are not delivered to their buyers in timely fashion. For example, on Thu, 23 Jul I received "Your Premium Listing Just Sold" email, and, at the time of this writing (Saturday), it is not yet delivered to the buyer -
whois:
No match for <...> in the registrar database
Will now PM you the domain as an example. No explicit action is needed with this particular sale, it is not the 1st time, the buyer will receive it up to the end of next week (/me thinks based on previous experience/. But why the delay?
