It is impossible to use GoDaddy

[topdom]

I can't search domains at Godaddy, even when JS is on. I suspect they don't want me to know whether my Afternic domains with prices are shown in search results with their prices.

I 'm shown an animated image of a walking man without a head instead.

It depends on the extension. If its .co or .us or .com they would surely show. They wouldn't care about other extensions. I have been facing the same issue with my .xyz.
Sometimes they will show. Sometimes they keep saying domain has already been taken. I knew i have listed it for sale in Afternic and it should show in GoDaddy. Who cares?

works fine for me.

They were saying if we list the domain in afternic, it would show in godaddy auctions. Its not the case with all the extensions. We should list the domain in godaddy too.

There is some filter on their side...
They do not show Adult and TM-suspected domains, at least.

Just had my rep list my all my Godaddy domains with afternic.

They were not listed on Godaddy auctions.

how do I know? Because I was given a template like with namejet to fill out all my domains and pricing.

Why do this when supposedly if you upload the domain to afternic it wil be listed at auction.

no disrespect to my premier services he’s a pretty nice guy and helpful but it seems when it comes to this whole thing with uploading to afternic it’s like double speak

Do domains get upload both to Afternic and Godaddy auctions. Probably. I suspect it’s a “ different” section of Godaddy auctions.

offers that come thru afternic won’t show up as bids on Godaddy auctions (I think?) only bids coming in thru to Godaddy auctions gets registered? I think.

I don’t know. I had my rep remove the list he uploaded to afternic and then gave me an excel sheet to fill out all those domains.

why give me such a sheet when supposedly uploading domains to afternic automatically lists them to Godaddy auctions?

I felt bad requesting him to remove all my domains from Afternic. I did not see the point in listing on Afternic if they don’t get really listed on Godaddy auctions.

even the afternic people repeatedly told me that afternic and godaddy were not the same company. They were separate.

I could be wrong. Someone please correct me if I am.

.... I did not see the point in listing on Afternic if they don’t get really listed on Godaddy auctions.

I'm naive about Godaddy... Why care about Godaddy auctions. Do you put domains in auction to sell them (instead of using buy now or make offer)?

Normally I don't use auctions. I use make offer and BIN method (without fast transfer, usually make offer). Auction method is complicated, it has a start time, end time, needs a reserve, what to do if there are no bids, what to do after auctions expire, why should more than one (or zero) person bid etc. It is a complicated time wasting method. We don't know when a potential buyer will be an active buyer, and inviting doesn't help, so starting an auction which will last, say, 1 week, will bring no bids even if there 1000 potential buyers (all inactive and can't be activated). Sedo auctions bring no new bidders even if I invite perfectly matching companies .

I think Godaddy has two faces. Godaddy for endusers, Afternic for domainers. If you want to sell to endusers, you need to make sure people using Godaddy see your domains/prices. This doesn't happen always. and I can't even check if this is the case, because when I search for any domain I see a man consisting of two legs and one arm walking while holding WWW , it is like showing midfinger... What if domain is listed on Afternic but doesn't appear on Godaddy, Godaddy , probably (I suspect) plays middleman role, by making price request at Afternic , or bidding at Sedo, or Dan; whenever there is an inquiry. When I respond to price request, the buyer is informed, but the buyer is Godaddy itself, so it doesn't help much.

I suspect most of my sales are to flippers.. I asked a flipper here a question, he couldn't answer, almost confirming my suspicions. Flippers get a list of active buyers from somehwhere and start lowballing elsewhere, sweet spot is 200 USD. Above 200 is no-no. Something between 20-150 will probably work and only for a limited time, because then actual buyers will disappear. Also these midbuyers always request invoice (for legal protection, just in case their scam is detected?), while actual buyers never do. To me this is the single most important problem in domaining.

(it can work in reverse, I mean, to our advantage as well (happened once), I told them (AN) my asking price, they took it as floor instead of BIN, and sold for a higher price..)

Marketplaces seem to be trying to minimize selling price on seller side, and who knows maybe increase selling price on the buyer side, otherwise minimizing selling price doesn't make any sense.
