cctld Adding .ca Domains With Godaddy Auctions

[Dr. Anthony]

How do you guys get your .ca domains verified with godaddy auctions?

I submitted about 80 domains, but since the whois isn't displayed, they won't verify them. They want me to not hide the whois info so that they can verify. Doing this with 80 domains is tedious. What have you guys done?

Godaddy is terrible with .ca domains, their system simply is not setup to handle them properly.

I recently had this issue when I sold a domain and the buyer was trying to transfer it in to Godaddy, he ended up having to call into Godaddy and they had to over-ride that transaction ID nonsense. You might have to just call Godaddy and speak with someone there to get them to manually do it for you because their system just sucks with .ca domains.

They can't handle the reg and rar at the same time and it is a major issue.
I still get reminders to renew .ca domains I have sold years ago and people wanted them transferred to GD as I am still listed as one of the contacts.
Now I all but refuse when people buy from me and want it transferred to GD.
This has gone on for a long time and they haven't done anything to rectify it.

I just strongly recommend they use NamePros or one of the other registrars better at handling .ca's

I still get the same notifications jay. I sold some .ca names, and for some reason people prefer godaddy. None of the contacts get updated, and I receive email notifications. I also had a law firm (gowlings) contact me about a domain name. I told him I no longer owned the name. Even tho he got my information from CIRA.

I know DA.... and CIRA would still have your info until the registrar changes it to the correct owner info....which GD has issues with.
I still don't know why people want to use them for .CA

I use them for many things but my .CA registrations/transfers is NOT one of them.

I recall one member posted a while back they simply refuse to sell to buyers that want to transfer to GD.

Agreed, I use GD for .com/net
and namespro for .ca. I used to use sibername for .ca, but didn't like their unprofessional responses, so i moved everything over to namespro and have been happy with their service.

*edit* sometimes if I'm hand regging a .ca, I'll use godaddy for the 1st year as you can usually find $.99 .ca registrations. Then when its time to renew, off to namespro it goes
