I got this answer from Steve Brown GM @ NameJet.com:

“”"When we start the auctions for private listings we insist that the name is under our control. This often results in a transfer into an account that NameJet controls and therefore has NameJet and my name on it.”"

“”It is a holding account so that we have control over the name during the auction and for provisioning after the auction closed and paid.”"

“”Short answer, not owned by NameJet or me.”"

I wonder if this present a conflict of interest. So does that mean they can bid against us? Furthermore, they can see our proxy bid.

I agree with Domain Inv, how can you just say you are going to boycott NJ on the names with reserves?

Are sellers not entitled to set a reserve?

Do you boycott every item with a reserve on ebay.com?

“As a matter of principle I will not particpate in any reserve auctions at Namejet and I suggest everyone else boycott them as well.”

What kind of comment is that?

I don’t have any of my domains for sale thru Namejet but I think it is a good idea that domainers have alternatives to our present options.

I agree Michael none of the 4 seem great, Snowmobiles.net would be only one I would like but it seems fully priced at the reserve. Again IMO
