Why always having to login TWICE on GoDaddy auctions?

[canswift]

I am in and out of the GoDaddy auction pages several times a day and I am becoming quite frustrated with always having to log in twice! Whether I go straight to the GD auction page, or click on a GD auction reminder email, I am confronted with "Already an Auctions Member? Login here".

So I log in, correct name and correct password and hit Enter. Now I am always taken to the standard GoDaddy account login page, where I have to log in a second time. This time, I finally get to the GD auctions pages with my saved searches and watch list etc.

There would seem to be absolutely no security aspect to this, just total annoyance on my part. So what's going on GoDaddy??

If I am logged in to GD, it will not allow me to add to cart. If I am logged out, it will allow to me to add to cart, BUT when I try to log in, it will not let me lig in (IF there is a closeout domain in my cart).

Strange indeed, but the Godaddy checkout process for Auction purchases is horrendously buggy.

In fact, I think I have exactly the same problem. It will then empty my cart and my purchase is lost or hung up in limbo for 2 hours minimum.

I believe I found a trick that works, however. Before doing any "buy now", log in from the Auctions page and also make sure "keep me logged in" is selected. Then proceed to "buy now" and your checkout process should complete successfully.

Let me know if this works for you!

Bottom line: constant work-arounds shouldn't be the rule of thumb.

Unfortunately, they just brought me to a 404 page (not found)

I forgot to mention that I do all my domaining from my smartphone....

Are you operating from a mobile device or are you on a laptop/desktop?

I will try your workaround from my office desktop tomorrow.....

Thank you

Yeah, essentially always on my smartphone. 404 page, I've never encountered that, it seems unrelated.

OK though, I should clarify. Don't log in by clicking the stupid icon (humanoid?) at top. Instead, click on the button where it says "Already an Auctions member?"

I hate the Godaddy interface.

Still no luck, I have emailed their support.

Very odd...

GD Auctions Support has replied....here you go:

Apparently back in 2012 one of the domains I had back then sold (no idea for how much). Anyway I was letting all my domains drop and getting out of domaining back then so I stopped checking websites etc.

GD Support told me that I failed to deliver this domain ans, as a result' my Auctions priveleges had been suspended. Odd, but okay....I WAS able to buy GD Closeouts earlier this year, but perhaps my increased activity triggered something on their end.

Anyway, they will hopefully reinstate my priveleges once I pay some Administration fee....

Very odd....wonder what my old domain sold for?? Lol

Always something

Glad you got that sorted out!
