GoDaddy published a post about upcoming changes to GoDaddy auctions. After April 29 no more member to member auctions. These are defined as:
- 7-day public auctions
- Buy it Now listings
- Offer/Counter Offer with Buy it Now
- Offer/Counter Offer listings
From the post
As we look to the future of GoDaddy Auctions, we’re looking closely at how GoDaddy can best support domain name sellers. In order to better serve sellers, we’ll be focusing our resources on Afternic for selling domain names.
Meanwhile, GoDaddy Auctions will focus its attention further toward the buy-side.
We made this decision knowing that sellers of Buy Now and Offer/Counteroffer listings will be best served by Afternic, which provides specific infrastructure tailored to give sellers the highest chance of selling domains.
With this shift comes a change in how we operate. From May 13th, we’re bidding farewell to new Member to Member listings. This enables sellers to utilize Afternic for all sales while continuing to provide syndicated exposure to GoDaddy Auctions.
What This Means for Seller Listings
Beginning April 29th, 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 13th, 2024
