After transfer is completed, domain is placed either in new profile, or existing profile that you specified when placing transfer order.
Transferred domain in no case has anything to do with old profile (and it will be removed from that profile) - therefore old user has no access to the domain that was transferred away. This must be true in any case, otherwise it's a bug. If you think you've experienced different behaviour, please contact me or support with specific example off the list, and we'll look into it.

We do not even see the process here, it just takes place via our website. As I mentioned earlier, the problem here is that user B thinks that because he has provided his own contact data when he submitted the order, these contact data will actually be associated with the domain, and not only with the order. If these contact data are not used, then why are they here? if they are used to associate data with the order, and not the domain, then why aren't there similar fields when a renewal order is placed? >when placing an order, if one want to assign it to the existing profile, one >needs to know username and password of that profile; end-user would not have >that information, unless it's the owner of the profile. > It's the owner's profile. > It's only service >providers that may do that, if they have u/p of their customers.

Everything boils down to that nothing happens with the contact data provided for transfer orders. - Csongor
