Premium Listing Sold on GoDaddy for $99,999.00, My list Price, GoDaddy Nonresponsive

[heartsforhemp]

I am current domain holder of over 1300 domains in a certain industry. One I know like the back of my hand. I received notification that a domain I had listed on premium listing was transferred out of my account. I then contacted GoDaddy to see if it had sold. I was told yes it had sold. The domain was listed at $99,999.00 the maximum I could list on GoDaddy. I received a receipt from GoDaddy saying "Congratulations on selling your premium domain at listed price $99,999.00". This is life changing for me, who invests everything back into programs for people and the less fortunate. Thinking I finally caught a break.

Since then I have received no response from GoDaddy support team regarding the sale of my domain. The most unfortunate part is typically when I receive these emails I am always paid the amount minus commissions. I began immediately paying off some large debts I have incurred being in the industry I am in. I am now concerned of financial discourse to my family because GoDaddy doesn't want to cough up my money.

What do I do? I've called, emailed, and contacted to no avail.

Please Help @Joe Styler

@heartsforhemp Congrats on the sale, however sorry to hear about the current situation. @Keith thanks for sharing , as after seeing their signature and name I see why you shared the thread in the hemp thread.

3 things.

1) I hope you get paid and all works out.
2) Beautiful Hemp Business Site you have there
3) Is there any chance you can share this name? That be great!

congrats again and GL with Godaddy!

Don't panic, I'm sure @Joe Styler can help you out, but if not do not worry. GoDaddy are a multi billion dollar company, they're not going to keep your money from you. Keep calling them and prompting them.

Congratulations on a fantastic sale.

I purchase domains knowing the hemp industry thoroughly, I've had clients range from NASA (Rick Presley) first man to grow plants underneath the Sea, RJ Reynolds, to GW Pharmaceuticals so my range covers sectors thought of and growing. Reason for the list price is I am aware of various sectors merging to share medical information on cannabinoids globally and large networks that they are comprised of.

The Domain is GLOBALHEMPSOCIETY.COM

I hope it works out for you, nice sale.

Some advice, never start wiping debts until you have the funds in the bank, and that applies to any industry, not just domaining.

Godaddy can take 7 days to pay, check ToS.

It’s not about the payout. They won’t confirm the final sale price and couldn’t confirm via email or phone.

 

[Orichjay]

I hope godaddy resolves your issue on time. Waiting for @Joe Styler to address possible cause of the delay

The domain was listed at $99,999.00 the maximum I could list on GoDaddy.

If you list via Afternic you can set a much higher price and the listing will still appear in Godaddy searches. Above a certain pricepoint fasttransfer is not possible, ie the domain does not automatically leave your account when buyer pays.

You can administer Afternic listings from within a Godaddy account now, this feature is technically beta but seems to work just fine.
