tips Be careful: Your fixed price Afternic names, might have an automatic min offer in GD auctions!

I'm not clear about what is exactly causing this but I just spotted:

For this domain, BIN = min offer = Floor price = $1688.

Yet GD auctions accepts an $1097 min offer... by itself.

And with this, it kills all my impulse buy intent for which I have chosen NOT to accept offers. Needless to say I am quite unhappy about it. (Going to ask my rep about it today).

The discount offered is 35% if you compute it.

I've emailed my rep about it, now awaiting response.

Worst case scenario I will choose a min price myself.

But one over another, I'm not happy.

Maybe raise the bin and put the min. offer as your old bin.

As far as I understand, it doesn't matter as GD sets their own min at 35% less.

The issue is not the price but the method.

Also if I raise the bin like that I'm going to decrease my STR by a lot.

I guess all you can do is fix it.

Yeah, it's been like this for years.
The minimum offer percentage allotted is 65% of the ask
This is by design and only applies to the Godaddy auction platform
This is why I make sure all of my Fast Transfer eligible domains are opted-in daily and reflecting as such in the Godaddy purchase path.
(I prefer buyers, not watchers or negotiators.)

My experience

If I list a name via the afternic interface and do not select a min offer, it defaults to 20 dollars

If I list a name on afternic via godaddy (if you login to your gd account and select a name, you have an option to list it for sale right from gd and it goes on afternic) and enter a bin, gd will automatically create a min offer of 35% of the bin.

Did you list this name on afternic via godaddy or direct?
