RE: [SPAM] Re: [gnso-irtp-b-jun09] Double secret lock?

Hi Michele,

I think that Elliot writes about the same situation that you describe. He is
talking about two different NameJet purchases, one from eNom and one from
Network Solutions. He wonders why only the one from eNom incurs the auction
lock.

Disclaimer: I do not work for either Enom / NameJet or Network Solutions

Having said that 

I have bought domains on NameJet 

Elliot's blog post does not make any sense and does not reflect how things
normally happen. While he may have the best intentions in the world, he's
actually describing a situation that would not arise.

If a domain was with Netsol and ended up on Namejet and you won it at
auction then you'd end up with the domain on a Netsol account.

If the domain was with eNom and you won it at auction it would end up on an
eNom account AND they would apply an "auction lock"

What he's describing is NOT what has happened to me in the past and is not a
reflection of the reality that I have experienced

Regards

Michele

status differences, although I learned that explanation was incorrect.

the domain names within this period of time, but they can't be pushed to
another account or transferred out of eNom. Fortunately, the company was
able to help me with this situation, but it was a one time exception to the
rule.
