GoDaddy auction sale for newly regged domains

I was just reading about that today as I purchased my godaddy auction membership. By the way, that place seems WAY lackluster. I can't even find my own domain listing there, let alone other people.

Anyway, as far as I've read, you cannot list a new domain if it isn't regged at godaddy.
This is because their service requires a transfer 5 days after the auction is over and you can't transfer new domains.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm decently sure that's how it is.

you can list it. for sure.

whcih is why I asked the question

cause I listed one.. as I list all my newly regged domains and so do others.. and now got an offer.. so not sure what to do.

thanks

p.s. no worry to fidn your way there.. it takes some time for every newcomer to get used to. good news is, everyone ends up getting used to it in the end

You can list it but I don't think you are supposed to. Just like how you can list domains which aren't yours but it doesn't mean you should.

You must know that there is a 60 day rule for new domains. Also, they require a transfer in 5 days which can't happen if the domain is locked. Maybe someone else knows more.

well.. we probably shouldn't compare putting up for sale domains which aren't yours (illegal, fraud, etc) to putting up on market domains which you own and regged and are still under the 60 day lock.

as you continue to domain, you will notice that first thing every domainer does after they reg a domain is adds them to:

sedo, gd auctions, flippa, afternic

whcih are the main markets.
this is a bit offtopic for this thread... so we don't wanna pee off the thread owner too much... but I wanted to give you this tip as I welcome you to namepros.. and say that in this regard, you should do exactly as all other domainers do.. and give immediate exposure to all your newly regged domains.

all the best mate

anyone else? I am specifically looking for the kind of info you needed to give to gd auctions as proof that yuo did the push elsehwere.. so you may get paid out for your sale.. ty

You can list a domain for sale that is your name. However if you cannot deliver the domain name then you may have a problem. I think our terms say - clear of liens, holds, etc something to that effect basically that you can move the domain legally and technically.
If the domain does not wind up at GoDaddy we have no way of knowing it made it to the buyer. So we strongly prefer that you move the domain to GoDaddy and list it here when you can move it here. Because if we get a complaint from the buyer saying I bought x.com from seller Y and they never moved it to me. And seller Y says they did move it to the buyer. We check the WHOIS and we see privacy we have no way of knowing that you actually moved the domain to the buyer and that they are not telling the truth so there is a good chance you are not going to get paid in that situation and things can get very messy if we have two people telling us different stories and we have no way to know the truth. Therefore while it is indeed possible to sell a domain with an ICANN lock at another registrar and push it to another account the buyer owns it is something we strongly feel you should not do which is why we say you need to have the ability to deliver the domain to the buyer with it being clear of any holds in our terms.

Yep had something similar happen to me ^

Luckily the man was honest and bugged them til I got paid.

appreciate the info Joe

so if I understand you well.. whenever someone asks you:

"I registered domain X 5 days ago and its locked elsewhere than godaddy.. someone made me offer today on domain X of say $1000.. should I decline or accept?"

your short yes or no answer to such a query would always be... decline.

is this correcT?

thanks again!
cheers

I wouldn't want to lose $1k sale if it were my name. I would recommend you list the domain for sale with Afternic. This will push the domain to GoDaddy auctions as well. You can sell the domain name there and then push the domain to the Afternic holding account at the registrar where the domain is registered. They will ask the buyer if they want to wait the 60 days (or however many days are left with the lock) until they take possession of the domain at GoDaddy - assuming they bought it there of course. Most times the buyers are willing to wait rather than lose the domain. The name would stay in the holding account until the buyer can take it and you would be paid when the buyer takes the domain not when you moved it. There are legal and policy concerns around this timeframe but it is something we are looking into the possibility of changing.
As it stands now you would be able to sell the domain this way and be paid when the lock is up and your transaction would be safe as we would know for sure you moved the domain to the buyer because it hits our holding account first. In my mind it is better to take the money you want for the domain as a sure sale and wait for the payment then to hold off on selling it until the lock is up.
Of course you could always buy your domains with us and we could move them to buyer's account as a push instead of a transfer and pay you in 5 days but this thread is about registering the domain elsewhere.

Good to know! Thanks!
