My domain is for sale without my permission

Hello,
I am new to all this but I (in the last few days) have bought some domains. I redirected them to a domain parking site but one is still being verified over 48 hours later. Checking the URL it appears it is being offered for sale even though it is not on my list and I have not authorised it.
I have sent queries to the parking site but heard nothing back.
Can anyone advise please? Thanks

Likely the previous owner listed it for sale and forgot to remove it after the sale. Remind them.

The parking place should eventually check the ownership as well, make sure they are aware it has sold.

In the meantime (few days?), you could park it elsewhere, if the income is worth the effort.

Thanks Robho,
I looked up how long the 'alleged' seller had been registered with the parking site and it's just over a year so you could be right, the name could just have expired and I happened to be unlucky enough to buy it and go with the same site!
I have tried to inform them I am the owner but still have heard nothing yet.
Revenue is 0 so may not be worth changing but worth a thought.Thanks for the reply.
