question Why is GoDaddy sometimes charging a $7888 Premium Domain Fee?

[Molly]

Hi guys. I sold a solid domain for a hundred bucks the other day. Out of curiosity, I just went in search of it, and ended up with it in my cart. The funny thing is, Godaddy has tacked on a $7888 fee to reg this domain. What is that about? And why would it suddenly appear? I didn’t pay that fee when I first registered it from closeout a few weeks ago. Thanks.

Hi, that's what your buyer is selling it for, GD is just the middleman.

Wow, I would have never realized that! Thanks so much! I did know, however, that I was essentially giving the domain name away.

Well, the asking price can be anything. You're the one who has actually sold it.
