No more GoDaddy auctions for me

[RU]

Hello,

A few days ago (September 11, 2015) I bought a domain on Godaddy closeout auctions (domain was expired, expiration date: August 05, 2015). Today I received a message that says the domain was renewed <- that's not true! The domain was transferred to another Registrar! How it's possible?

"DARYU" means 'give'.

Until that day 43 after it expires, they can still renew it or transfer it (a trick i learned here on namepros).

it is very frustrating I agree but i think it is just one of those things that can happen sorry as above

Could be worse. I have purchased domains on GoDaddy auction only to find out the seller didn't even own them. Basically causes me to have funds tied up for 1-2 weeks before GoDaddy refunds the money.

Unfortunately I also have the bad experience of recently purchasing a domain via BIN price and then it ended up going to expired GD auction and sold to someone else (for a lot more). Over a month gone by and still waiting for GoDaddy to refund me.

that is worse i agree espeically the BIN example. don't see how they can get away with that - if you buy it now surely (as the name implies) you have brought it and it comes off the market?
