Hello fellas,

Recently I was bidding on GoDaddy expired domain auction and lost hope on a domain as I thought its gonna go way high and lost the auction for around low 2xx figure.

Its a one word .net domain INCREMENT.NET

I got a mail from GD today that the winner did not complete the transaction and as I am the second highest bidder it goes to me and gave 24 hours to complete the transaction or it will go to the next guy downstairs.

A quick advise please on getting this domain or let it go for that price. I actually like to add a one word .net to my portfolio but need your expert thoughts on this one.

Thanks in advance for your time guys.

It looks like it was straightened out now.
Thank you @Joe Styler for your time and response.
Finally, Godaddy auction team agreed that there was a glitch in Godaddy integration with CCAvenue and they initiated refund and reinstated my GoDaddy auction membership.

But I have lost 8 hours of productivity so far and they would have been done better investigation rather than replying to my mail saying that I didn't pay for the auction. Indian Godaddy support executives are helpless and they don't have a basic understanding of Godaddy auctions.

On a different note, there is a no valid reason to charge 18% GST to Godaddy auctions if auctions are not supported by Indian Godaddy team.

@Joe Styler Do you have any thoughts on why 18% GST is charged on auctions amount since it is supported by USA team. Removing GST on Godaddy auctions will significantly increase the bidding from Indian domainers

I would probably pass on it. It is a single word, but I don't really see a clear use.

I won it on Godaddy auction. I have paid for the auction as well but the amount is not reflecting on Godaddy. These stupid guys requested me to pay again then I said no!

FYI: They didn't refund the previous amount.

The name is worth 200+ bones, you will get a decent return no doubt. Best of luck to with it, a good purchase in my opinion.

Given that it's well aged & a single word .net domain i'll say at this price go for it.

.NET domains are hard to sell nowadays. There are better names for $5 - from closeout lots.

I have created a support team with Indian Goddady team immediately but it's useless and time-consuming process. They still offered to a second highest bidder. I see how this goes.

There is no any support team for GD Auctions in GoDaddy India so you will not get support from them. You have to direct mail and contact to their USA office.

They are adding 18% GST to Godaddy auction so I stopped using them a long ago. I have placed a few bids recently and won this domain.

18% Tax is compulsory for Indians whether you buy through auction or hand registration.

@BuyBrandWeb.com .. Do you have credit card attached with them..?

Even if I let it go now it will go to third guy. Isn’t it.?

So what if third Guy also don't want to pay .. then is it go to fourth, fifth .. and so on? and what if there is no any bidder after you? ..
@sheiky Do you have credit card attached with them..?

I have dropped a mail to them
FYI

We received your inquiry
We've received your question. You can expect a response within 72 hours.

Your Incident ID is: 36584xxx

This is system generated email. wait for their reply.

Yeah but they need CVV and OTP to complete the transaction

That's why I ask you. It is difficult to charge credit cards in India. I think 48 hours after auction already over and they are not able to charge your credit card hence they send email to second highest buyer.

@sheiky are you also from India..?

I have PayPal attached with GoDaddy and I am an Indian living in Australia.

I think in this case as @BuyBrandWeb.com didn't pay within 48 hrs hence @sheiky you will get it.

@BuyBrandWeb.com GoDaddy deactivate your account and you are not able to bid GD auctions hereafter. But you can pay fees around $10 and they activate your account again.

Why should I pay $10 USD since I have already paid for the auction?

I have a proof and it's a glitch in their website. Let's see how this goes!

@Joe Styler - Can you help me here.

I can see that the domain name awarded to the second highest bidder even I paid for the listing.

As per my knowledge on Indian banking system, any failure transaction/unclaimed amount will be refunded within 7 days from the date of a transaction. It's 8 days completed and It seems, Godaddy claimed the amount and your Indian Godaddy support executives are helpless and there is a huge delay in responding mails from Godaddy side.

FYI:

Here is the bank statement proof for your reference

I have received a text message from the bank on the same

You can see the same order history from my Godaddy account

order Id#1341363556- Showing pending

Funds deducted from my bank immediately and the status was not reflected on Godaddy.

In addition to this, Godaddy is asking me to pay another $10 as an Admin fee :(

Praveen did you check with ICICI bank on the status of the transaction ? If not credited to GD account it should have been refunded by now.

If it's verified that the payment was indeed credited to GD account i think you are within right to claim the domain.

The tax is something we looked into very carefully and also hired an outside (world wide leader) auditing firm who also said we needed to charge the tax. Of course we would not charge it if we could.
