Can you sell a domain less than 60 days old not regged with GoDaddy on GD Auctions?

[the_poet]

I have a newly registered domain that I'd like to list for sale on GoDaddy Auctions, but it's registered with another registrar (which allows free push though). Does such a case work just like Sedo where you can push the domain (given it's still under Icann's 60-day lock)?

I belive fore godaddy auctions the name must be in a godaddy account.

Hi the_poet,

I'm a little confused by what you want to know.

How do you mean, is there a case "like Sedo"?

Cheers

When you sell a domain on Sedo, in case it isn't older 60 days, you can push it to the buyer's account at the same registrar, given that you can't transfer it elsewhere. Can you also do the same at GoDaddy Auctions if the domains isn't registered with GD?

A few months ago I purchased a domain at GoDaddy Auctions.

The name was at ENOM, and so I paid for it at GD, and then emailed the Seller to push it to my account at ENOM (which they did).

I'm not sure how long before GD released the funds to the Seller.

Regards,
DN

the_poet,
I don't suggest this. I was the buyer in such a sale and I was extremely annoyed. The godaddy system is not integrated to handle these things. Let me explain:

When you sell the domain and the buyer pays to godaddy, the godaddy website has no way of knowing of anything. It is like the developer who programmed this thing has stopped after the payment stage. There is nothing. They expect you to communicate and trust each other. Godaddy doesn't know what happens after the payment.

The buyer could get the domain and then argue he never got it. You have no way of proving. Godaddy says handle everything between you with messages. It is extremely annoying beyond any imagination.

When I bough the domain the seller didn't give the transfer code. There is no interface on the godaddy site. There is no button to click. There are no steps to follow. There is nothing.

Don't sell other registrar domains at godaddy. It is totally crap.

What you are trying to do is double complicated. I'm sure you will have a problem but when you finally call godaddy they won't even understand what you are trying to do. When I called them I had to explain the person on the phone how their marketplace works for private sales. They talk as if such a thing doesn't exist. I had to call them multiple times. Good luck with explaining them you need to push a domain to the buyer at another registrar for a domain that was paid at godaddy and the buyer is not willing and wants his money back. I feel very sorry for your buyer. He will probably create a thread claiming that he was scammed by you.

At sedo you push to sedo account and a transfer agent manually pushes to buyer. Everything is monitored all the way by the transfer agent.

At godaddy there is no transfer agent and their site is not integrated in the slightest way to handle the sale. All you get is a message box to send each other messages. I'm serious. You don't ever get each others emails. There is nothing. The difference is like day and night.

Such a godaddy sale is the worst experience you can have in life.

That helped a lot!

I completely agree with Erdinc. I am so frustrated when I am watching a domain I am interested at GoDaddy Auctions only to find out it is registered somewhere else. I have accounts at a dozen, or so, registrars, but I don't always want to expose my email and other info to the seller.
