Afternic Listings Should be Removed if Domain Name in Expiry Auction
A domain in expiry auction should not still be wearing a Buy It Now sign.
Dropping.pro flagged a domain; the click didn't land on an expiry auction but on a GoDaddy Buy It Now page.
Once a domain enters expiry auction, its for-sale listing is stale inventory. Afternic's syndication is showing a buy button for an asset that is actually being auctioned.
The risk isn't just a confusing redirect. A buyer can waste a bid or a checkout, and the marketplace sends mixed signals about the true status of the domain.
The fix is structural: when an expiry auction opens, the corresponding Afternic listing should be pulled from the surface. Not suspended later, not explained after the fact.
Without that sync, the marketplace is selling a right it no longer controls.
