Hi Alex, Yes. Resellers who had previously opted out of the expired domain auction service are STILL excluded from the new auction program.
If you'd like to earn more money from expired domains, feel free to let us know and we would be delighted to opt you back in to the expired domain auction.

Are we still excluded? Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:04:00 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tucows Teams with Afternic.com for Expired Domain Name Auction Hi there - Starting today, expired domains are being listed for auction at Afternic.com instead of our existing in-house auction platform. Our in-house auction service was launched as a beta program in February, 2006. Over the following two years, it never really developed into the marketplace that we envisioned, traffic remained low, and because of that, sales suffered. We made the decision to partner with Afternic because they are the leading secondary domain name marketplace. That means expired domains will gain more exposure to a wider audience of potential buyers. The net result should be an increase in both the quantity of domain names sold and also in the selling price of those domains. We're pleased to announce that you'll receive ten per cent of the Gross Sale Price on the sale, at auction through Afternic, of any expired domains that originated from your Reseller account. That revenue will be deposited directly into your reseller account on a monthly basis. There's no need to signup-resellers are automatically enrolled in the new auctions program. Our old auctions platform will continue to operate until auctions that are already in progress have concluded. After that time, the platform will be shutdown. There's more information at http://services.tucows.com/ Thank you for your continued support of Tucows. Sincerely, Bill Sweetman General Manager, Domain Portfolio Tucows _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
