I won .com domain at goddady domain auction with highest bid. Can original owner still recover that domain and renew it or it will definately come to my account after 7 days?

It should say in the godaddy auctions section your account under won, there it should say when domain will arrive in your account if not renewed by past owner, thus that will give you how long they have. You, could call GD and ask but I think sometimes it's been as long as 11 days then renewed on me and I not get domain. I think time it hits your account is based on how long it's expired. They may have as long as 2 weeks to renew domain however, I believe godaddy will charge them $75 to recover it. So depending on the domain's quality it should give you a good idea if owner would be willing to pay so much to recover it.

They have recently changed a domain renewal policy from 42 days to 30 days for the domain owner. If someone bids on the domain on the 30th day of the expiration, it is removed from the domain owners account.

Here’s the official info:

Days after expiration Action
Day 1 We make the first of three billing attempts to renew the domain name. If the billing fails, the domain name expires and the domain is parked. The domain name can be renewed by the registrant at no extra cost.
Day 4 We make the second billing attempt. The domain name can still be renewed by the registrant at no extra cost. Any website or email services associated with the domain name may be interrupted.
Day 12 We make the third and final attempt to renew the domain name. The domain name can still be renewable by the registrant at no extra cost.
Day 19 The domain name can be renewed by the registrant for the cost of a one-year renewal plus an $80 redemption fee.
Day 25 We add the domain name to an expired domain name auction.
Day 31 The domain may no longer be redeemed.
Day 36 The expired domain name auction ends. If there are no backorders and no bidders in the expired domain name auction, we list the domain name in a closeout auction.
Day 41 The closeout auction ends.
Day 42 We return the domain name to the registry. The registry may hold the domain before releasing it for general registration.
Note: A registrant can renew an expired domain name at no extra cost up to day 18. If they renew an expired domain name anytime between day 19 and day 42, they must also pay an $80.00 redemption fee. The domain name might not be available for renewal after day 30. If the domain is available for renewal and redemption from the registry after day 42, the $80.00 redemption fee is still applicable.

It will definitely hit your account but I would say more like 10 days, from experience, so April 3rd. According to the above, the owner can’t redeem after a successful auction but may redeem during and after closeout, up until moments before the drop, if allowed by the registry, not registrar.

GoDaddy does not practice consistent policies. If there is a bid on an expired domain, it is removed from a GoDaddy account on Day 30 nowadays. Unless there are no bids on it, then they let the domain owner renew it. I have over a decade of experience with GoDaddy with about 5000 domains in my portfolio. I believe it is a conflict of interest when a registrar is an auction house. They are trying to make money both ways and are ready to swoop in on a domain or leave it in your account based on a bid. This is why I recently started moving my domains over to Uniregistry and Fabulous. I reached out to their account executives and they offered me the best tiered pricing based on my domain portfolio.

It is $80 with GoDaddy when it goes to Registry Redemption and not $75.

It went up, close enough though.

Good thing you did'nt mention the name
I have so far got all the domains I won and now waiting for 2. Depends how many days and the details are available at their auction website and direct links quoted as above.
Wait patiently, it will hit your account on the day mentioned in the auction won tab.
