so I had a smallish sale on gd auctions makeoffer lately... and followed standard procedure to send buyer auth code on gd auctions after payment cleared and email buyer link appeared.
after I did that, on same day he began transfer.. so I went ahead and expediated it from dynadot.. lo behold today I check and the domain is transfered okay but not to gd registrar.. but gandi!
I guess once they have the code they can transfer anywhere they want.. still its weird cause I thought the buyer buys transfer to gd at checkout.. so why would they pay twice to transfer elsewhere.. especially for an extension that is more expensive to transfer than a .com
I guess this is all the more reason to basically to always ask gd auctions ot begin transfer on buyer behalf.. then at least its sure to go to gd... which is something I've done most time before.. and never had issues.
maybe @Joe Styler can confirm if this is all ok for buyer to do.. transfer anywhere he wants.. and if there are additional steps after such a transfer esehwere.. for buyer/seller/gd to go through before payout is made?
anyone else had this happen before?
thanks!
