FA Fernando A. Co-founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/26/2024 "Afternic: Sold My Domain, Still No Payment After a Month" 0/5 What do you like best about Afternic? Absolutely nothing. They’ve proven to be completely unreliable, failing to make a simple payment over a month after selling my domain. Their incompetence in processing multiple payment attempts without even notifying me shows a total lack of professionalism and care for their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Afternic? I dislike almost everything about Afternic. Their customer service is non-existent, they’ve repeatedly failed to process payments, and they don’t even notify customers when something goes wrong. The lack of transparency, communication, and basic competence in handling transactions raises serious doubts about their reliability as a marketplace. It feels like they’re stalling or completely indifferent to their customers’ concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Afternic solving and how is that benefiting you? Afternic isn’t solving any problems for me. Instead, they’ve created new ones by failing to process my payment for over a month, leaving me frustrated and without the funds I’m owed. Their lack of communication and inability to complete a simple transaction has only caused delays and stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They were fast in selling my domain, which I guess is the only good thing I can say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Afternic? I never got any payment for the domain that was sold. More than 30 days have gone by, I've contacted support and the TA agent multiple times, still no payment scheduled, nor justification given or adequate support. Terrible experience.

My problem has not been sorted out for 5 months Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Afternic? My afternic account name is ibasaran2007. One of my domains was sold in afternic on April 8. The afternic transaction team informed me that my payment was due on the way. Though I informed them about the situation MANY times, still there is no payment for 5 months. They got my site's money from the buyer but THEY HAVEN'T TRANSFERRED IT TO ME! Each time THEY gave me different excuses. The money is only 37 dollars. I WILL NEVER BUY NEW SITES FROM GODADDY AND SEEK LEGAL ADVICE AND I WANT TO WARN PEOPLE AGAİNST AFTERNIC.

Here are some of the key features and qualities that users tend to like best about Afternic:- 1.

The clear layout and accessible features make the process straightforward. 2.

What do you dislike about Afternic? There isn't a lot to detest about the site. There are times when the site might be overburdened with traffic, so some of the time the site requires a long time to stack, paying little heed to how quick our data transmission speed is. The site's UI could be worked on in certain habits; however, it takes care of business, so that isn't an issue. The costs that the site uses to sell a few spaces, however, are a bit high compared with other cutthroat destinations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Afternic solving and how is that benefiting you? I think that it's connecting between buyers and sellers. One of the primary challenges in the domain market is connecting those who want to sell domains with potential buyers. Afternic provides a centralized marketplace where domain owners can list their assets, making them easily discoverable by buyers seeking specific domain names. This efficient matchmaking process simplifies domain transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite ND Ninja D.

Concept is basic. Go to another competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Afternic? This "company" should be investigated. They are certainly no form of escrow. As thte seller, they will contact you once an offer has been made for your domain. If accepted, the buyer submits funds to Afternic. As the seller you then sign over your domain to receive your funds. HOWEVER, they give you the run around about how they don't have to pay you, and can hold the funds for an "indefinite amount of time." When I called in just hours after accepting the soft offer and requesting to cancel because of this issue, the service rep literally said one word, "No." It's been over a week since the transfer and still no funds to my account. My domain is under their control. SELLERS GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Afternic solving and how is that benefiting you? Only problems, no solutions.
