Is there a way around the 60-day waiting period after transfer?

[QUOTE="webd, post: 2262983, member: 94069"] I bought a domain from BuyDomains. It was in the 60-day holding period, because they had registered the domain soon after we searched for it. (I don't know whether there was DNFR or tasting involved, but that's another story.) At the end of the 60 days they were going to transfer it to us, but they transferred it to an EIG-owned registrar named Annulet instead of directly to us. I tried transferring it out of Annulet, but the transfer was blocked because of a new 60-day period after the transfer to Annulet. BuyDomains claims that they transfer domains out of Annulet like that all the time (to GoDaddy, for example), and that no one has any problem transferring out of Annulet before the new 60-day period is over. GoDaddy's own website [URL='https://www.godaddy.com/help/transferring-domain-names-to-another-registrar-3560']says[/URL] that they don't do that though: [indent=1][i]"You must wait 60 days after the initial registration or any previous transfers to initiate a transfer."[/i][/indent] ICANN [URL='https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/name-holder-faqs-2012-02-25-en']doesn't allow that[/URL] either, unless the domain is pushed within the same registrar. (It was transferred to a different registrar.) [indent=1][b]If I bought a name through one registrar, am I allowed to switch to a different registrar?[/b][/indent] [indent=1]Yes. The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy, applicable to all ICANN-accredited registrars, provides that registered name holders must be able to transfer their domain name registrations between registrars. [b][color=#ff0000]You must wait 60 days after the initial registration or any previous transfers to initiate a transfer.[/color][/b][/indent] I'm trying to figure out whether I am being told the truth by BuyDomains. Does anyone know if there is a way around that 60-day holding period? I have never heard of a way to do that. [/QUOTE]
