Why do you ask for my Authcode when submitting a domain to Above.com Marketplace?

If your domain is NOT already at Above.com, you will be asked for your Authcode (Transfer Authorization Code) to start a domain transfer for the domain being sold. You can elect to provide the Authcode then, or wait until the domain is sold. Your domain is available for sale immediately after listing, however you will not get payment for the domain until the domain is transferred to Above.com escrow.
