Afternic Domain Parking...Is it Really GoDaddy Parking?

This week, I made a bold move and put a significant number of domains under Afternic Parking using the "NS5, NS6" for sale landers without any parking ads. However, I was surprised to find that instead of Afternic, the landing page was displaying "GoDaddy."

This raises concerns, as my domains are being sold through Afternic, and it is confusing why GoDaddy should appear. It also makes me wonder about their policy against listing expiring domains for sale or auction within 90 days.
What do you think about this?

GoDaddy is the owner of Afternic, and they are currently in the process of rebranding Afternic to GoDaddy. It is not recommended to use Sedo or Afternic for parking. However, I have categorized a few names that I am forwarding, although it is an older section. In my opinion, Dan is the best option, and other options like Adam Dicker are not trustworthy.
 Unfortunately, I haven't received any statistics from Afternic, but I have noticed visits to parked pages in the control panel despite none being parked there.

Several years ago, I adopted a more relaxed approach to managing my domain names. Seeking advice, I consulted with my GoDaddy representative who recommended that I list the 250+ domains that I wanted to sell on Afternic using a spreadsheet.

Following all instructions provided, I recently checked in and noticed that some of the names were appearing on the desired Afternic/GoDaddy landing page while others were still stuck on outdated parking pages belonging to other companies from years ago. After contacting Afternic, they advised me that I needed to change the nameservers for the domains that weren't resolving correctly in my GoDaddy account.

This came as a surprise since I expected GoDaddy to have done this themselves. Nevertheless, it appears that I will have to take care of it myself.

After acquiring Afternic, GoDaddy intends to introduce several enhancements, including auto transfer support for domain names hosted on their platform, a premium promotion service, and other exciting features.
 Although Afternic provides its own parking platform which collaborates with Google and numerous other feeds, it is not mandatory to park a domain to list it for sale.
But, we have noticed that utilizing parking with the "This domain is for sale" banner and contact number increases sales volume by 100% compared to average portfolios by connecting with skilled brokers.
