So I'm still trying to understand the whole new process for redemption over at GD
Before you could transfer out domains before 42 days after expiration.
Now it's within 30 days.
Before after 42 days you still have couple more days to pay $80 to redeem or usually for good customers or domains where no one has bid on it at auction they will charge only $40.
But now this 30 recovery includes the redemption process.
I had a domain go over this new 30 period by 2 days I had tried to transfer it out but by this 2nd day after the 30 days. GD had switched the whois info already to GD so the receiving registrar couldn't do the transfer.
It got a bid at auction.
And I even tried to bid on it but there was an automatic bid on it which kept beating me.
The domain is out of my account and the hands of the new owner.
Find out later what the website was.
The website States they own the trademark which was the Exact Match for my domain!!
My domain was registered on 3/2017
Their trademark? 1/2018
(Damnit!! Did not check uspo.gov!)
I have spoken to icann and filed a complaint. They told me that regardless of Godaddy's new 30 day redemption, the rules are still that it is this 30 days ( or 45 at other registrar's) plus another 30 days for the losing domain owner to be able to pay a redemption fee to recover an expired and in redemption domain.
So any advice? Am I going to be able to get back a domain that's already in someone else's account?
