But it still needs to be fully tested to make sure it works.
For example, GoDaddy has authorization codes but they don't work. If there is an old listing or someone is fraudulently trying to sell your domain on GD, the domain is greyed out on the processing screen and you still need to email GD support.
I would say it's 50-50 that when you try to list a domain that's already on Afternic, you'll still get the Big Red X.
