I wrote about this issue before, and it’s obvious that GoDaddy and its team of brokers don’t really care. At the very least, middle management at GoDaddy is not doing anything to address this issue, which they promote as a “Domain buy” service.<\/p>\n

GoDaddy’s aggressive approach to relaying offers and collecting a fee without discrimination, is akin to spamming<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When a domain is clearly parked with a lander and a price<\/strong> at a competing venue, such as the Uni Market<\/strong><\/a>, ignoring that lander’s figures and collecting an upfront fee to contact the domain owner is a waste of money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s also annoying for the owner of the domain name.<\/p>\n

GoDaddy brokers spam domain owners with invisible offers, seeking a click in order to collect data on the registrant, that typically has their information hidden, either by choice, or thanks to new WHOIS rules due to the implementation of the GDPR.<\/p>\n

The $69 dollar fee that someone pays to GoDaddy in order to initiate an acquisition process by making an offer, is clearly wasted. GoDaddy brokers ignore the BIN price<\/strong><\/a>, and I wonder if it’s done intentionally or due to incompetence.<\/p>\n

Either way, I do not recommend responding to such offers arriving from domainbuy@godaddy.com – I treat them like spam.<\/p>\n
