Problems, Bugs and Fixes at Afternic - Report Problems Here

[carob]

I suggest a new thread titled Problems, Bugs and Fixes at Afternic - Report Problems Here. Then we can all list our issues so Afternic have to fix them. These Afternic probs have been repeatedly flagged up across numerous threads on here over a period of time, including the need for 2FA. Godaddy own Afternic and have the resources and motivation to fix it - this risky mess is unacceptable and reflects badly on their brand.

For info, Afternic keep reverting some of my domains to "In Review" status for no reason, and I only know that if I log in there to check on them. Until I then ask support to take them out of Review they are not listed for sale and will not sell at Afternic.

@Joe Styler When can we expect Godaddy to take action on Afternic, including implementing 2FA?

I agree on the US buyer point. Doesn't show at my end.

I am not in the US either, but for some reason it shows. However, if I proceed to payment, there is no option to pay later on. This is what the lander looks like and if you click "learn more"

 

[Joe Styler]

I told you what I know. There is a formal announcement coming in the near future that will contain more info.

 

[Joe Styler]

It is US only, meaning only customers in the US will see this option to pay over time. That may change over time but that is how it is launching for the foreseeable future.
We are using Klarna for the pay over time option, more information on Klarna can be found here. https://www.godaddy.com/help/what-is-klarna-41021

Yes there is a 50/50 split test that started with pay over time. I will have to get some more info on it.
What I do know is if the buyer decides to pay over time you as the seller would be paid in full for the sale. You would not get incremental payments. Not sure on the exact time frame but when the domain sells sometime not at the end of the payments.
This is only currently available on domains up to $20k and is only being tested on half the domains now to see how it performs.

The maximum amount they can pay over time is now $25k

Can't see a Bulk Delete feature there.

What I am looking for is the ability to paste in a list of domains to delete - I can do that at Dan.com in seconds.

 

[Joe Styler]

On Afternic you can do this via the bulk download, upload of domains from your account. [email protected] can help you with the details. I dont remember them off the top of my head but I know it is pretty easy to do that way. Also with the beta UI you can now see up to 500 domains per page which makes deleting in bulk easier in the UI.

When I upload Domains with Buy Now Price through a Afternic downloaded template, the portfolio shows the BIN figures in Floor Price column. How this issue can be sorted out. Thanks.

Hi yes those options exist, but what would be quicker is a simple box where you paste in a list of domains to delete. When you add domains you can do just that - paste a list into a box.

Going down a long list finding domains that match those in your list and ticking boxes is very time consuming. My experience uploading spreadsheets to Afternic is not good - it's too unpredictable so I avoid it. Yes you could send a list to support, and they are faster than they used to be, but that is adding another step.

Is there an ETA for the .day extension support on Afternic as well as GoDaddy?

 

[Joe Styler]

Not sure about Afternic. On the auctions I have no plans on adding it any time in the foreseeable future.

The Afternic Dashboard currently cannot load several building blocks, and produces the following errors:

{"response":null,"http_response":500,"message":"Error getting buyer's transaction summary","ex_time":0}
{"response":null,"http_response":500,"message":"Error getting seller's transaction summary","ex_time":0}

Afternic should have provision for adding Reserve Price column in Beta version.

is this still happening?

It lasted a couple of hours. Now the sections show again in the dashboard.

What is going on with the payment methods? So many fields related to my bank account are gone and now there is some weird "good as gold" (what does this even mean??) and only intermediary bank details available...

Good as Gold is an account credit

 

[capybara]

Good as Gold is an account credit

Doesn't make much sense since the other option is "Hold my credits" ("When this option is selected, payments will not be executed.") which would be essentially the same...

Hi @Joe Styler

Manually removing single domains (delete option) in the Afternic web interface is not possible since yesterday. Also, listing them as 'Hidden' produces an "Oops" warning, and domains remain in portfolio. This is unfortunate, because I'm very strict in removing domains I don't own any longer. Could you please have a look? Thanks.

 

[Future Sensors]

Anyone else having problems with uploading domains through CSV as well?

For me, it's not working for two days now.

One question. I have all my BINS on Afternic. If I put the same BINS on Uniregistry and park my names there, with Uni landers will I have problem?
