Interesting case I didn't experience before. I purchased a .CA domain name (registered with WHC) on Dan.com, but once I negotiated and paid for it, it turns out a domain cannot be pushed until a month and a half from now. I've already reached out to WHC to see if there is a way to move it to under my account (without changing the allowable transfer out date), but I found the whole case interesting. The transfer agent at Dan.com of course offered to either redirect the domain to another website or add DNS settings in the meantime, but still, you pay for something, but can't quite have it. A bit sucky.
 
It was a freshly registered domain. I literally made someone very happy to sell a domain the same week it was registered. But I really liked the name that I came up with through my research and had to have it. I just wish I came up with it a few days earlier. 😅

I am pretty certain WHC will be able to accommodate and move it between accounts. I just need to persuade Dan.com that it'd be okay on their end as well.
 
Dan probably doesn't want to get caught up in a scam where someone "buys" a domain, sells it on the push, then it's taken back by the registrar for the original payment being fraudulent. It might not apply in this case, but blanket policies apply to every transaction, big or small.

This type of "buy with a stolen CC and sell it on the push, then run!" scam happens all the time with expired domains and it's a helluva lot safer for everyone to hold the money until it can be legally and officially transferred away from the original registrar.
