I do not think buyers expect every registrar to use the same model. But I do think buyers value clarity, consistency, and a point where they can trust that a win is really a win.

So for those who have used a lot of platforms, which expired domain timeline feels most buyer friendly to you today?

ahhh.. really interesting one.. I have been thinking about this as well... +, at which time (after the renewal "due date") is it reasonable to activate "grace fees"

Yeah, we’re curious about this as well. We often see users complaining that their domains were “stolen,”
so to provide a better experience for our customers, we’ve been gathering feedback from different perspectives.

Once we’ve reached a well-grounded conclusion, we’d be happy to share it with you too, my friend, Helmuts. ;)

What are your current grace period settings? .. if you don't mind..

In our case (just made a bulk edit):
- Grace Period: 30 days / £0.00
- Redemption Period: 30 days / £80.00
