Why Can't We Put .IN Domain in GoDaddy Auction?

[Shaan Chopra]

I have seen all kinds of TLDs on Godaddy Auction but there is no option for .IN is there a reason behind it.

True, Thats What I Said,
Some Sites Respect It, Like Epik ,Dynadot Etc, They Don't Sell It, While Some Do.
The Ban On Selling Is By The Registrar dot .in

.in domains can be sold but rule is domain registrar company cannot sell unless using different website with different company brand. Godaddy is registrar so it doesn't sell. sedo.com dan.com flippa.com etc are able to sell legally because they are not domain registrar.

same reason why epik dynadot etc also dont sell.

This regulation applies to registrars, i.e. registrars themselves can't sell .in domains for more than registration fee in order to prevent "hoarding". But it shouldn't apply in theory to domains offered for sale by third parties.

@robmonster Epik could clarify this and in case of success get more inventory. Maybe it would be hard, as .in registry is known to be very ineffective and care very little about domainers and domain registrants overall. At the same time, .in aftermarket has big potential. After all, domain registrars were allowed to have .in domains listed on their marketplaces in the past.
