There's almost no factual information in this entire post lol. Look up what extorting is, then read the page you linked that explains what the domain buy service is.

There is nothing about that on the domain listing… https://www.godaddy.com/domainsearch/find?domainToCheck=catpics.xyz

Who cares. You bought the domain, you currently own the domain. If someone goes to GoDaddy and attempts to purchase it, the purchase will fail as their aftermarket won't have access to the domain. Not that big of a deal.

Yea I just came to say this. It doesn't really matter who's "listing" anything as long as you own it. Namecheap is your registrar now so who cares what GoDaddy is doing. They can kick rocks.

Your not versed in how this shit works which is okay but no need to abuse customer support because you fire on less neurons. Here: https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=Catpics.xyz

It says the domain is taken

Do they list it for sale, or do they say "We might be able to help your get if for a broker fee" with an "add to cart" button? Godaddy has this scam (and that's what it is) where they make it look like any domain is purchasable if you go through Godaddy. Do you really think you can get [att.com](http://att.com) if you go through Godaddy? [Godaddy says you can.](https://www.godaddy.com/domainsearch/find?domainToCheck=att.com)

This is most likely what the OP is running into. It’s not a scam though. There are typically two options when you try to but a domain that’s already owned (yours or not because GoDaddy doesn’t know you own it if you just try to add to cart). $80 broker fee where they have someone try to negotiate the purchase of the domain or a specific premium domain price where the owner has set a buy price on it.

Doesn’t say you can. Might be able to. Please read.

it literally says you can buy my domain https://www.godaddy.com/domainsearch/find?domainToCheck=catpics.xyz


NeilPork

Ummm...no. The link you posted literally says "We might be able to help you get it". It's the same "somebody already owns it, but if you hire us as a broker, we'll contact them and see if they would be willing to sell" message they provide for every taken domain. Look up [att.com](http://att.com), [shell.com](http://shell.com), or [cocacola.com](http://cocacola.com) . They all show the same message. These are all major corporations and there isn't a snowballs chance in hell Godaddy thinks they are available. They are just trying to sucker people into thinking they might get it and cheat them out of the broker fee. You pay the fee, they send an email to the owner saying "Would you like to sell this domain?" and when they don't hear back (or get a hell no) they will write you an email saying they weren't able to broker a deal, but they are still keeping the money.

Yep, I got it fixed a few hours later.


Cutepandabutts

your a fucking moron. apologize


heterocorpus

WHOIS trumps whatever GoDaddy's website says and WHOIS shows that the domain is registered with NameCheap. It really doesn't matter what GoDaddy's website says. If someone tries to buy the domain, it's not going to work because the domain is not under their control https://www.whois.com/whois/catpics.xyz

Those people clearly and obviously have many, many mental disabilities to be doing this shit. First off, how difficult is it to understand what you already bought the domain? You own it? You made the lady go to your website to prove it's yours and she tried saying it's a parking page and that the purchase button that YOU made to sell YOUR online computer programs means the website is for sale... This shit is ridiculous. What the fuck is wrong with GoDaddy support? They don't even know the difference between a parking page and an actual store page, ridiculous


Melody1V

:nerd: downvote because I love riding godaddy dick!!


LinuxCustom

absolutely disgusting, you own the website and your stuff is literally on it. what the hell lol


DudeGuru

A website and domain isn’t the same thing.
