Wow just had the same thing as
@CryptoInvestor happen. I'm really shocked.
Bought a name from GD closeouts, received the domain into my account on Jan 13, and then today the domain was removed from my account!
I am 100% sure that the domain in my GoDaddy account as I took screenshots of the domain in my account to verify ownership and remove listings of the domain from various marketplaces (still have this screenshot, so I'm certain the domain was in my account).
I called GoDaddy and they said the former owner sold the name, didn't transfer it and let it expire - and now they have to take it from my account to give it to the buyer! Is the mistake of the former owner a valid reason for GoDaddy to take a domain out of my account? They practically stole the domain from my account on this pretense (how can they take a domain from my account after it has been there for several days?). So the former owner still gets paid for his failed sale, thanks to them taking what is now my domain from my account (the customer rep confirmed this when I asked in disbelief). Very disappointing by GoDaddy! I am shocked that GoDaddy can simply go ahead and steal a domain from my account that has been there since Jan 13. They didn't contact me in advance or anything to see whether I'd like to keep the domain, "help" the former owner, or even take over the sale of what was now my domain. They simply picked the name right out of my account, and I even got an account transfer confirmation email as if I had initiated the transfer out by myself! (how can they even initiate an account/ownership change without my approval?)
