Purchases at GoDaddy Closeout can still be taken back

Yesterday I picked up several domains at Godaddy Closeout followed by email confirmation of the purchase. Today I happened to look at the order history and found two refunds (no email notification of the refunds nor explanation). I called the support and the guy did some work and then told me that the domains were listed from enom and the registrants decided to renew (even after the domains landed in Closeout). So, be aware that your purchase (even with receipt) may not certain.

I talked to a support guy today and he confirmed Godaddy cancelled the two domains. Then I received two emails saying "You’ve canceled a product." How funny!

Yes Kassey names from Enom and all other non GoDaddy registered names can be taken back. GoDaddy changed their terms which everyone cheered, but in speaking with them they confirmed with me they cannot dictate another registrar's TOS.

I guess I just have to wait for the "Your transaction is complete" email before I do anything with the domain.

Do they refund back to your credit card or paypal?

or as "service credit"?

Refund to your original payment method.

Thanks. I have just started buying so there are still many unknown areas to me...

And the reg price seems different every time as well.... I only bought .com at their Close-Out but the reg price fluctuates.... and sometimes it charges 'renewal' ...

Even domains registered with godaddy in closeout can be taken back. This has happened to me a number of times including very recently. What I am guessing they are doing is unlocking the domain and getting the auth code before they go to auction and then submit a transfer just before they are due to move to the new registrant.
