Can you delete domains from Dan.com?

Just had someone contact me about a domain that is listed on Dan that I sold a while ago... Turns out that you can still search Dan and the old portfolio links are still live.

As far as I'm aware you can't make any changes after the Dan/Afternic migration, but I didn't realise that this includes removing domains. So anything that was on Dan before the switch is still on it at the same price that it was at the point of the switch, which isn't ideal.

For BIN domains if you click buy now it takes you to godaddy with the domain in your basket, which I'm assuming is now connected to Afternic?

Anyone know of a workaround that would let you remove domains?

This should have been sorted by now. We too tried to delete all domains from our old Dan account back in April - without success. I sent them a support message and this is the reply I received:

"Hello! Thank you for reaching out!
We are migrating all of our current sellers to another platform. Because of that we are not authorized to remove any domain names or accounts.

We will make sure to remove all data, once we shut down the whole platform.
Best wishes,"

Fortunately I had moved all our Dan domains to 'make offer' the day before the migration, so a buyer can't click BIN, and all our domains now resolve to Sedo so unlikely that we'll get any bids on a diminishing number of domains (Dan remove inactive domains on a daily basis). We do miss Dan but have been trying the latest Sales lander on Sedo recently and have made a few sales in the past month - nothing spectacular but we had hardly a nibble before that.

I can't understand why Dan/Godaddy can't allow previous users to delete domains - all it does is upset disappointed users of their platform.

I can't understand why Dan/GoDaddy can't allow previous users to delete domains.

Let's consider the possible reasons...

• GoDaddy is staffed by imbeciles
• GoDaddy doesn't give a flying fuck
• GoDaddy will bring about the end of days
• Robert Smith is a gobshite

And the answer is...

ALL OF THE ABOVE​
