I recently bought a name on the marketplace to resell. However, it seems I can't do that because DynaDot sets a 60 day "buy" lock status on it. Very bad, and no reason for this nonsense.

Okay. I didn't know that Marketplace buy lock is different than the "change of domain registrar lock" enforced by ICANN.

So if I buy a domain from marketplace, i must wait 60 days before I can resell it to someone. I stand corrected.

Yes, that is correct. Similar to a new registration, you will not be able to transfer the domain within the first 60 days.

But unlike new registration, you can not even 'push' the domain to another user account, isn't it?

Yes, the lock will prevent a ownership change or a registrar change but as explained previously, it is designed for security's purpose. We do appreciate all the feedbacks and ideas and will forward them to our team and see if we could improve some of these in the future. Thanks for all your suggestions.
