I care more regarding consistent payment timelines than fast payments

Pay me at the same interval every time, and I’ll be happy.

I hear a lot of complaints regarding payouts from Afternic. Most of these complaints are regarding payments taking too long.

I’m not really concerned with how long it takes to receive payments (within reason). I don’t count on the cash flow from domains to make ends meet; a 7-10-day delay doesn’t cause any problems.

What does bother me is the inconsistency of payments.

Some payments occur shortly following the domain is transferred. Others take much longer.

I believe this has something to do with where the transaction was initiated and if the domain was a Fast Transfer or manual transfer.

Last month, I had a sale that hadn’t been paid out 14 days following the transfer was completed, and I had to contact Afternic support to remind them to send the payment.

That’s frustrating, and it made me realize that although I don’t care much regarding how long it takes, I wish payments were consistent.

Rather than getting some payments the next day and others in a week, I’d just like to know when the payments will be made and have them executed on time, every time. Consistency matters more to me than quickness.

While I’m talking regarding Afternic payments, I’d like to gently remind Afternic regarding two other issues with payments. I know these are on someone’s “to-do” list at Godaddy:

• Include information regarding what domain(s) the payments are for with the PayPal payment.
• Send the “Your Funds are on the way” email ahead of sending the payment, now hours following the payment has been sent. (This will somewhat alleviate the first point since this email tells you what domain it’s for.)
