So i buy a domain on godaddy auctions that a seller has listed for a 'buy now' amount.
I contact godaddy 5 days later asking when do i get the domain transferred into my account and they reply today with -
Discussion NotesSupport Staff ResponseDear Stu,
The domain was listed by another GoDaddy Auctions member, the domain does not transfer automatically. You will need to purchase a transfer in your account for the name. Once you have a transfer you will need to use the ‘Email Seller’ link in your GoDaddy Auctions account to contact the seller and work out the transfer of the domain name. The link to email the seller will not be available until the 6th day after payment as we have a 5 day verification period of the funds. If the seller does not provide the domain name, you will need to file a dispute per the Domain Name Aftermarket Membership Agreement:
So they now want me to pay a transfer fee and then contact the seller and arrange for it to be transferred. Is this normal? Thought godaddy would have taken care of the transfer since the domain is already registered at godaddy and is being transferred to my godaddy account. Very confused here
