Domain transfer to Cloudflare without prior setting the DNS servers
Hi, I just bought a used domain and got the AuthCode from the seller. I want to transfer it to Cloudflare as my registrar. The problem is, cloudflare won't let me type the AuthCode if my domain is not marked as "available" and selected in the process.
I'm pretty sure I need to add the domain's DNS to cloudflare first. This makes things annoyingly complicated, because now with the AuthCode ready, I need to first transfer it to a different registrar, pay the fees, set the DNS to Cloudflare's, and then again transfer to Cloudflare paying the fees again...
Obviously I don't have access to the current domain panel, since it's seller's account and I just got the transfer code. Any way to solve this?
