    WANTED 3 letter starting with FS or FP - budget is flexible

    There are only 52 .ca domain names that match that criteria......it might be easier to manually check each one, rather than hope that their owners see your post.... I did a search at Sedo, and found several listed there: fsq.ca fsl.ca fpq.ca matching the criteria.

    Trademark Term according to GoDaddy

    If I search for "pandora" at GoDaddy, pandora.info is marked as a "PREMIUM" domain, for sale for USD $395. Oddly, if I filter for domains of 7-characters or less, nothing shows up (including Pandora.info, which is exactly 7 characters, which is visible when there are no filters!). 🤪

    True. but as you noted, it's been ineffective, as you're "spending far more time daily making those corrections than necessary." Placing the rules verbatim on the posting page, directly above the words "Post Topic" should make it idiot-proof, as it catches the eye while they're in the act of...

    .CA Finance.ca Sold by Irex

    Yup, that's why a buyer of a .ca should be a corporation that is HST registered, so that they can get the input tax credits. A "consumer" isn't going to be able to get the input tax credits, as opposed to a business. [although I suppose an unincorporated business can still register for the HST...

    I don't believe they're acting for either party (they're an independent third party, holding the domain name in their own name; see: Domain Concierge Service - Escrow.com ), nor are they lawyers. I wouldn't want to test that theory --- better just to do it "cleanly" from the beginning, in my...

    I don't think that would be the case, as they wouldn't fit section 2(4) of the requirements: Canadian Presence Requirements for Registrants – CIRA which has a specific meaning (i.e. incorporated federally, or provincially, or in one of the territories). A foreign corporation doesn't meet that...

    Who is renewing .com's before the September 1st price increase?

    Sale sabotage

    Sometimes the board of directors of a "non-profit" have a commercial background, so I think it's easier communication with them, as they can relate better to entrepreneurs. It's the "lifers" that tend to feel the sense of entitlement.

    Domain privacy engaged but Name, Email, Phone number exposed on whois

    Check the entity type ----- if the ones that are showing full WHOIS are corporations, perhaps that's the factor? (I'm not sure if corporations are allowed to have WHOIS privacy in the .ca ccTLD; under gTLDs like .com, etc., corporations can have WHOIS privacy)

    Tutorial: Pay "No Commission" at Godaddy or Afternic

    I would disagree that this is "no commission". Whether the buyer nominally "pays", it's the seller that is ultimately paying for it. e.g. $10,000.00 purchase price with buyer paying $2,089.00 to GoDaddy (20%+$89). Thus, the total payment was $12,089.00. Economically, this cannot be...

    Topic Owner - The start of Self Moderation

    This "feature" might be abused, though. e.g. suppose someone starts an appraisal thread for "example.com". Folks submit their opinions, but the "Topic Owner" simply deletes valuations that they don't like. i.e. is the forum for the benefit of just the thread starters? Or is it for the entire...
