advice Be Careful Buying Expired Domains from GoDaddy

[Ms Domainer]

...and then trying to list them on the same site.

Evidently, it's okay for Go Daddy to sell expiring blatant trademark infringing domains, but if YOU list a generic domain that you BOUGHT from their expiring auctions, they'll run it through some kind of program and if it even has a whiff (translation = bogus] of TM, they'll yank it.

You have no recourse.

Thanks to Joe Styler who tried to get my domain reinstated but was not successful.

UPDATE:​

I heard from Joe Styler, Aftermarket Product Manager at Go Daddy.

According to him, any expiring domains now sold on the auction platform have been run through a trademark check, so they should be "clean."

This doesn't address what happens when a trademark on a term is awarded after the domain has been acquired; I doubt very much if such a tool will make that distinction.

I expect that I (and others) will be receiving more of the "not eligible" email for several of our older listed domains.

I updated my comments on Scamful and raised some more important issues regarding this policy.
