How long should it take to transfer a domain? Are they fucking with me? - GoFuckYourself.com

Is the other registrar just delaying, trying to hold onto the domain? I don't see how in this day and age, transfers aren't remarkably fast.

I already sent out the approval of transfer email and the seller agreed to it.

My registrar says I am in this phase still:

Pending Registry Approval
We have submitted the transfer request to the current registrar of the domain. Please contact your current registrar to make sure they will approve the domain transfer without delay.

I sent the seller and email and he contacted his registrar and said to approve the transfer.

They gave him this response:

You will need to wait for an email from GKG. We have to wait for confirmation
from the registry which we have not yet received. Once you receive the email, it will be worded in such a way that says... "To cancel this transfer, click here, or wait 5 days and it will go through automatically". The wording is required to be that way per ICANN, so we can not change it, but you can also click on the same link that you would normally cancel with, and instead click on the APPROVE button. Then the transfer will go through immediately.

It depends on the registrars. If you are transfering from Yahoo it's really slow.

Some registrars - like Godaddy - wait the entire 5 days before releasing the domain to another registrar

Sounds pretty standard.

The gaining registrar has to first verify your authority.

Then it takes 5-7 days after that to transfer.

it can take 2-4 days, from my experience...

BUT, if you both have a godaddy account, it can be done in minutes...I do it all the time.

It's never taken me more than 48 hours, but I guess some could be really ultra slower (like a retard learning how to rollerskate).
