This company its a total scam!!! I had listed some domains for sale where they dont do a thing to market it it, nothing at all and by chance one sold and they are taking 30% on the domain , that is crazy one third for NOTHING. I called after being on hold was disconnected twice, I have asked and they horrible customer support claims that is it. I had reason to believe that it would be less since the domain registrars is their company as well (GoDaddy) but it does not matter, any how my domain was release and its already showing at the website of the company who bout it ... I have asked them when the payment will be sent to me, since they have no reason to hold my money, NO RESPONSE! im waiting to get my funds and close the account with them, I dont want to get ripped off again. UPDATE: NOW they that I posted this review they want to learn more and but ignored my calls and emails. Now they will probably also try to get this review removed as most companies do. RESPONSE TO AFTERNIC: YES I AGREE WITH CHARGING A COMMISSION OF COURSE YOU ARE NOT CHARITY BUT 30% OF THE TOTAL SALE TO DO NOTHING!!! AND LATER SIT ON THE SELLERS FUNDS FOR NO REASON, BOTH UNACCEPTABLE!

Hello Claudia, Thank you for your feedback as well as for the opportunity to address your concerns. We can understand the frustrations of selling a domain name online for the first time and you sharing your experience with us is very helpful. While it is typical that domain marketplaces (websites were domain owners can list their domain names for sale) charge a commission to facilitate the secure transfer of funds and the domain name between parties. Domain Marketplaces typically do not include marketing services outside the ability to increase the number of categories the domain is listed for sale under. I would like to address your concerns about your review. Our interest in these review endeavors, is to better understand our customers experience. We have no interest in having your review removed. We greatly appreciate you connecting with us and for the additional information to look into this further. My thanks, JM

My domain names just migrated from Dan.com to Afternic, because Dan.com is merged with Afternic. I can say it's so slow. Dan was so professional and had fascinating experiences with them. Cannot believe Afternic is a GoDaddy's brand. It's like my WordPress website on a cheap shared hosting. When you scroll down, your domains will disappear, you have to wait for a while for them to be loaded haha. There are not enough filters. No filter for domain extensions, No estimated value column, No column for listed/unlisted domain names, and several other important filters. The one thing that I like about Afternic, is the simplicity. Generally the template is similar to Dan. I hope they adopt the Dan's UX. It would be great.

I sold my domain through Afternic. It's already 22 days but I did not receive my payout. I contacted the support more than 10 times. but no solution till the moment. I hope they speedup the process and send me the payout.

Hello Abdelilah, Thank you for your feedback and your patience while this was looked into. That review was just cleared and payment was approved today. You should receive the funds within 2-3 business days. The notice we sent via email regarding this was undeliverable, you will want to look into that communication pathway as well. My thanks, JM

My experience with Afternic has been nothing short of frustrating. Their platform is outdated, and the support is practically non-existent. I've reached out multiple times regarding simple issues, and each time, I was either ignored or given unhelpful, generic responses that did nothing to solve my problems. One of the biggest disappointments is that Afternic doesn't support domain push—something that should be a basic feature on any modern domain marketplace. Instead, they use a convoluted process that wastes time and causes unnecessary delays. For a company that's supposed to be an industry leader, it's shocking how behind the times they are. If you're looking for a reliable platform with decent support and modern features, look elsewhere. Afternic just isn't worth the hassle. Till now i don't understand why they put their focus in terminating Dan instead of improving Afternic

Unfortunately, the technical support on this platform is very bad and catastrophic. They are slow to respond to the issues we face, especially when it comes to fast transfers within the platform itself. Honestly, the company has treated us poorly as users of this platform.
