I have transferred several domains from Yahoo to other registrars (after the 60 day waiting period). In fact, my most recent transfer just completed today. I was hesitant at first, but each one went through without any problems. One tip, DO NOT cancel your domain at Yahoo until you get a conformation from Yahoo, and the registry the domain is being transferred to, that the transfer has gone through! MAKE SURE TO CANCEL IT AFTER THE TRANSFER BECAUSE THEY WILL ACT LIKE YOU STILL OWN THE DOMAIN AND CHARGE YOU WHEN IT "EXPIRERS"(I don't know how they get away with this)!!

I know that Yahoo does have a horrible admin area. If you plan on NOT reselling the domain, just purchase for 5 years and you can’t go wrong, just remember to transfer out before it expires because they charge $9.99 to renew at the moment! Also, they fixed the bug that allowed existing customers to buy at the $2.99 deal. That offer is only for new customers... I tried to purchase more from them today at that price and I was denied.
