2 weeks and still not got my domain from auction seller

[system0]

I hate to have to do this but ive been left with no choice.

I won LuxuryCigars.com from gruffyserv on
Saturday, February 08, 2003

I paid for the domain within an hour of the auction ending. I bought about 5 domains, sold 1 and sold a site that day as well so my mprivate message box was buzzing.

I forgot about it for a few days and then remembered i hadnt sorted it - i assumed i had been sent the login details and just couldnt remember them. This i know is my fault.

However gruff is not being as responsive as i would like about this. Even though you should not sell domains that cant be transferred for free, to speed things up i put in a transfer request from enom. This has not been authorised yet.

I dont want gruff to be banned or anything - he has been polite enough in the messages and i know that life away from the computer is more important and something might have come up - i just want my domain. And please no one hound him or whatever until we hear his side of the story. I think thats only fair because we've seen in the past people having problems with sellers and the seller had a valid excuse

but its nearly two weeks since the auction and i want to develop it and i think ive been more than patient.

The whois info is still in gruffs name as well so i cant do squat.

Re: luxurycigars.com
ok

ive sent a transfer request

please authorise it - thanks

The domain is in my corporate account with about 60 others - I can't give you access to it or spin it off into another account. It has to be transferred to your registrar.

Why don't you post some facts enstead - I told you to transfer the domain to your registrar as soon as you paid me on Feb.8th.

But you didn't, you waited until February 20th. I still haven't recieved any transfer request from my registrar. Go cry to eNom if and ask them what the delay is.

You will run into this problem with every other seller here if you expect them to hold your hand for 2 weeks after the auction is completed.

it has nothing to do with enom, ive transferred to enom from several different registers and have never had a problem - the process is now started.

the fact remains you broke the rules - you can only participate in the auctions if transfer is free and on this occasion it is not.

I have tried my best to act in a professional and polite manner about this but i dont think that you have done the same.

Anyone who has traded with me on this forum will vouch that i am reliable when it comes to buying and selling and its unfortunate that it has taken you so long to put this through considering i paid you within the hour.

I don't care who vouches for you. YOU didn't initiate a transfer request until 12 days after paying. I don't know how or why you could possibly twist this into being my fault. I'm not a baby-sitter, maybe if you are lucky someone else on this forum would like the job.

In case you are wondering, "Auto verification of transfer request initiated" means one of eNom's customer service clowns still has to make contact with my registrar.

 

[system0]

the "Auto verification of transfer request initiated" stage has never stayed as long as this before - as soon as it is at this stage an email is sent to your register and then to you for verification

this stage took less than 2 days for godaddy,000domains and stargate

can you please just authorise this

Yes, if I actually get a request to authorize. I just spoke to DirectNIC, they haven't heard anything from eNom.

i can understand this gruff

there is no need to contrinually lower the tone of the thread - i never once accused you of anything - i am doing my best to keep this transaction professional

how about this : change the whois details of the domain to my details - you can get them from any of the sites on my sig or i can pm you if you want. That way i can authorise my own transfer

this is the best solution

sounds reasonable to me. transactions aren't always perfect, but we can always strive to be civil to one another, especially when things go a little wrong.

The title of the thread says you have been waiting two weeks, which you have not. You also go on to say I am unresponsive, which I am not. How were you not accusing me of anything by posting this publicly?


I can change the name servers but changing the admin details wouldn't fix anything. To prevent email hijacking, DirectNIC requires account holders to be logged in to their control panel to approve a transfer from them. E-mail and WHOIS means nothing.


Account holder doesn't approve of it = it doesn't go anywhere.

also

Account holder not sent a transfer request = doesn't go anywhere



What language do I need to translate this into for you?

 

[RatherGood]

Well what do you know.

Hi.



We have not received any transfer-away requests for luxurycigars.com. You may want to contact the gaining registrar and have them resubmit the transfer for the domain. Once we receive the request we will send the administrative contact email address a confirmation email which must be answered in 3 days in order for the transfers to be completed.
