Some dejected GoDaddy customers would love to punch Danica, although it would be just wrong to do that.
“Godaddy is the worst registrar ever !!!!”
This is the title of a post by a visibly dejected DNForum member, who shares his experience with a recent expired domain auction that he won at GoDaddy.
After jumping through hoops and providing payment of $28,000 for the domain, having his account locked and his personal IDs scanned and emailed, the buyer discovered the following morning that the auction was null and void.
The reason: the seller simply renewed the domain.
GoDaddy casually auctions off domains, collecting full payment; the domain owners have 7 days to renew their domains, thus reversing the results of an auction. GoDaddy then reimburses the payment to the auction’s winner, costing them precious time at a minimum. They need to end this practice and only auction off domains that cannot be reclaimed.
The full post is right here.
