Hi Everyone,
Just need some clarification from everyone as Afternic support are not listening.
I have plenty experience in the domain industry but have been away for a couple of years until recently. This is the situation
1) This week I sold a domain for $39K listed for sale in my new Afternic account after they were migrated from Dan.com 6 months+ ago and had Dan.com nameservers and an Afternic lander.
2) In my head, Afternic always only charged 15%-20% commission so when i logged in to add the Auth Code only then did I see the payout amount which was like $29K and I though it can be right
3) I looked on the website and saw that it says(as in my screenshot from yesterday)if a domain is using Dan.com nameservers it is still classified as part of the Godaddy Aftermarket Nameservers so I should only be charged 15%
4) The 5% Boost i understand, they got me on that one. Thye told me that when you sign up for an Afternic account is is set to default and you have to manually switch it off. I think that that is backhanded and irregular but there is not much I could do about that
5) I have not enteered the Auth Code yet and have the domain still locked
So am I in the wrong, even though it still says all this on their website that I should only be charged 15% + 5% or have things changed and they are right. Its a big sale so it is a big difference in payouts. Please let me know
