How do I get my own domain back from Godaddy?

[Kevin Lee]

Current Situation:
I leased a domain from GoDaddy with a 12-month installment plan and have already paid for 9 months. However, due to an outdated payment method and failing to notice GoDaddy's reminder emails, last month's payment failed, and my domain was revoked by them.

Current Status:

1. My overdue payment is within 30 days, but GoDaddy claims they provided a 12-day grace period.
2. My domain has already been listed in their public auction.
3. However, the domain still resolves to my website.
4. I’ve emailed GoDaddy’s auction team and expect a reply within 72 hours.

Question:
How can I recover my domain? Does anyone know any effective methods?

I am going to be honest. When payment was not made on time, the domain went back to the seller. So that is why you see it listed at godaddy again. It will be a lesson learned I'm afraid. You can buy it again if you have to have it.
