GoDaddy Auctions is focusing on expired domains ONLY

Beginning April 29^th, GoDaddy will not accept new Member to Member listings at GoDaddy Auctions.

Member to Member listings at GoDaddy Auctions is the collective term for:

• 7-day public auctions
• Buy it Now listings
• Offer/Counter Offer with Buy it Now
• Offer/Counter Offer listings

GoDaddy will be focusing its resources on Afternic for selling domain names.

GoDaddy Auctions will focus its attention further toward the buy-side. GoDaddy Auctions’ focus will shift further towards expired domain names.

On May 13^th, 2024, all Member to Member listings will be removed, along with unactioned offers. The “Sold” tab within the Seller portal will be available until May 13^th, 2024.

Here is the complete GoDAddy Auctions anouncement:

Beginning April 29^th, we will not accept new Member to Member listings at GoDaddy Auctions. This includes 7-day public auctions, Buy it Now listings and Offer/Counteroffer listings.

Buy it Now and Offer/Counteroffer domain names can be added to Afternic, a fellow GoDaddy brand, where they will continue to be syndicated to the GoDaddy Auctions’ platform and search for added exposure.

All 7-day public auctions in progress will run until their conclusion, while all Buy it Now and Offer/Counteroffer listings will be taken down from GoDaddy Auctions on May 13^th, 2024.

Up until May 13^th, domain sellers will continue to have access to GoDaddy Auctions’ Sellers area, where they can capture data including:

• Active GoDaddy Auctions listings
• Domain names sold at GoDaddy Auctions
• Domain names pending transactions

These records will not be available to sellers after May 13^th, so it’s important to capture records of sales before that date.

If sellers have a pending transaction that is unlikely to close before May 13^th, extra time will be provided. Our team is available at auctions@godaddy.com to discuss this further.

GoDaddy wants domain sellers to be successful. While GoDaddy Auctions shifts its focus further toward expired auctions, Afternic is the marketplace to list your domains for sale.

If you’re new to Afternic and you have 500 or more domain names that you’re listing for sale, please reach out to partnerseller@afternic.com, who will be happy to assist with your onboarding.

We anticipate that you might have questions, and we’ve attempted to address them in advance. If you can’t find the answer to your question in this section, please contact auctions@godaddy.com, where we’ll be glad to provide you with more details.
