Beware they hack your account and sell your domains without permission.
I have requested documentation that I agreed to sell my domain name. They have not responded because they have no documentation.

Hello David,
Thank you for your feedback and for the opportunity to clarify that a domain name cannot be sold unless you have directly authorized the sale (and setup a Payee account) or if the domain name has expired due to non-payment. I would like to better understand your experience and have sent you an email through Trustpilot requesting additional information.
My thanks,

I sold a domain about 3 months ago but they took the domain and did not pay me. I contacted customer service many times, the record opens but then there is no response. A fraudulent company that is a complete disappointment
Update: It's been 7 months, and my address document, which I've sent at least 15 times in different formats, is still being rejected. Why? Because it's not in US format. If you're not a US citizen, they'll try to keep you from paying for months. I've given up and will never use any of this company's products again, and I don't recommend them.

Massive Overcharge
Afternic massively overcharged on the recent transaction – 30% commission for doing absolutely nothing. I myself found the buyer, and he simply clicked on the Afternic listing. It is shameless and unjustified to charge 30%. It is 10% higher than their parent company Godaddy is charging, which is also too high for doing nothing, by the way. We’ll move our inventory to Flippa or Sedo (or maybe eBay)
