Dear Community - dear @GoDaddy Representant,

This monetization "tool" based on old data, which does not predict the Future or anything, is not worth a cent - you will definitely have a Business Case for it. Still, the trade-off will be that you lose Page viewers, not only the ones abusing your Tool but also potential Customers who might check a Domain Value but, due to any Banner or Advertisement, decide to put some money in their GD portfolio. Not every business case is 100% prediction, even if you hire the top consultancy companies worldwide - it's data-based. The emotional behavior of Users is not that easy to predict, especially if there is more than one critical factor.

Mark my words. Starting with these "Packages," we will review their prices in one year.
You even started to do your legal entity selling, which was not aligned with the Group.
For example, in Germany, I was NOT able to purchase the Premium Parking Service—only if I bought Discount Domain Club. Why?
I googled a bit, logged in via Thailand GoDaddy, and bought it standalone.

Marketplace vs. GoDaddy as such: To split it entirely is the best thing you could do.
Otherwise, your Service would explode. And that's for probably good Reasons.

Now follows Feedback, which is not directly related to this topic, but points still belong to this.
I am happy to know that there is more than one registrar, and I have my fingers crossed that I can sell my Domains or Transfer them out soon.

Kind regards,
zotix.



*Feedback to GD from my side, just my own experience, could be wrong - maybe not*

Unfortunately, as a Beginner in the Domaining Scene, I had similar problems with you:
The wrong information was from the staff, who are trying to annoy me via email for Domain Discount Club.
I was forced to do three or probably 4x Full KYC, with ALL(!) my Legitimation Documents, just because I bought like 50 Domains in one day. I got banned, settled it out, banned, and once again.

I don't know how much, but I bought from you just in the first few months of Domains worth 15k+ $, which is still annoying me.
As a Domain Buyer on the Marketplace, you receive many emails forcing you to pay; otherwise, you will do this and that.
As a Domain Seller on the Marketplace, you get nothing—just a: We will reach out to the Buyer. We have been waiting almost two months for Payments.

Things like

: After doing a Domain appraisal for a Domain that was actually at every Registrar available, and after the Appraisal, not anymore—this is a whole different story and only speculation.

You are one of the biggest Domain Registrars worldwide, so professionalism, integrity, and respectful behavior should be your top priority.
It was funny for me, but it's probably not funny for others, when your Customer Support (to specify: Jamaican Team) is laughing loudly, making fun while I'm talking to a Support Member, even if she was feeling uncomfortable when they - and this is not a lie: Talked about Jonny Sins, a Porn actor. (Btw. You recorded this call since I wanted to cancel a few Domains during the Grace Period).
