[QUOTE="404, post: 2349461, member: 322978482"] Yes, I did. Have done so in the past as well, no issues getting rid of locks at all usually. Just asked and they'd fix me up. Curious if policy changed or something. They refer to their TOS/ICANN which is fine albeit outdated policy. Just checking in to see what other people are experiencing. Yes. Difference being, when you catch a domain it becomes a new registration. ICANN will lock those at the registry level. Locking down (not newly registered) domains for 60 days after a registrant change/push is up to the registrar. Just about any notable registrar I use does not lock down your names after a registrant change/push. Some do it for a shorter period on an aftermarket purchase though, like Dynadot. But even GoDaddy locks your name for just 10 days after a push. 60 days is insanely annoying, specifically when you're at Epik as my buyers usually want to transfer to a registrar of their preference. Pushing is always possible but as I prefer Dan for escrow that's not an option.besides, when pushed the buyer will get his domain locked down for another 60 days again. I find it strange practice when you buy a domain directly from a registrar, with a good markup for them. For me it's about control. I don't like having limited options. The usual response from registrars who are still using this old (<2016) ICANN policy is that it's a security measure. Security if fine, lock it down, but at least have the option to unlock it on request when a client requests you to do so. Maybe I should just reconsider using Epik at all. [/QUOTE]
