[QUOTE="angel69, post: 2216599, member: 97749"] Most domainers I know were upset with this policy of Go Daddy's to shove a transfer to GD down our throats (buyers of domains on GD Auctions regged elsewhere), when they actually pay for the name a transfer fee to GD is added and that transfer and its fee cannot be removed from the cart. This is coercion. Whoever decided to do this was plain wrong. Often the domain has a long time before it expires and buyers would just leave it at the registrar it is. It's easier for GD to see for themselves when the domain reaches the buyer's acct, maybe the logic followed falls along those lines, but this is still wrong. Just as it is wrong to keep this self-perpetuating 60-day registrar lock only GD has, not only after a simple push within GD customers, but every single time the registrar's info is altered even by one letter (sometimes unintentionally) a new, additional 60-day lock period gets triggered. GD customers are bothered by this and many of my buyers blame me if they can't move the domain they just bought from me. As to lifting that lock through a request to GD the process is intrusive, most just give in and wait 60 more days. It is incredible how GD manages to stay the only registrar that does this after so many years, and no end in sight INFORG, good thing you're aware of the 15-day limit to start a dispute.
