Hey guys, will my BIN/make offer marketplace listings on Godaddy be removed if I don't renew my Auctions membership or are the domains permanently available to buy once I list them? thanks
Hi, I was actually on chat with a Godaddy rep just now, he confirmed that marketplace listings under buy now/make offer do get removed if Auctions membership is not renewed.Good question. I've been trying to find the answer, I thought it might be clear from the sign up page for GoDaddy auctions but it is not. https://uk.auctions.godaddy.com/trppricing.aspx
I would expect that if you paid for a listing then it would remain. I would expect that if your membership elapses that all of your activities within GoDaddy auctions would cease as if you weren't a member.
Would like confirmation from someone in the know though.
It's not so much about the $5, if you re-read my comments, I just think that a slightly tweaked implementation of the membership would benefit both sellers and Godaddy a lot morebahahah what kind of question is this... how u expect to login or respond to offers if u have no membership... of course they get removed and of course they should. juat skip a stupid ststarbuck coffee one day and pay the 5usd

Yeah but if any of these offers convert, Godaddy stands to make a bit more than $5.well u cant tweak it.. if u let people with no membership to login to respond to offers then this is equivalent to making free for all. which they will never do. cause why not keep on making 5usd x millions of users ..vs making zero

My idea is simple, if you list domains under BIN/make offer, after your membership expires, your domains still appear on the marketplace but you cannot add new domains or modify your existing listings. If you want to modify your listings, you then either have to renew your membership or delete your domain from the marketplace.
This way, the fee would mostly apply to active domainers, they would need the membership since they are constantly adding new domains to the marketplace. At the same time it would allow people who are not domainers but only have a few domains from past projects to use the platform without the need to pay for a membership fee every year just to keep their few domains listed. Right now, these people are more likely to turn to a service like Sedo or some other marketplace where they can list for free. If I were Godaddy, I would want to keep them on my platform because the more domains I have to offer to potential buyers, the higher the probability of a sale.
Ultimately, when all is said and done, you are indeed correct and I mean this seriously. And it's not even about $5 being a relatively small amount.I'm sure they would view any such tweaking as way more complex than the 5usd they ask. and so should we all see any such tweaks or changes not worth 5usd. at 50 or 100..maybe we could talk about it. at 5 per year this whole thread is just laughable and ridiculous.

The price is the price, always. Only the airy will question or argue over the price. The only choice one has when facing the price is to pay or not to pay.
