Call 1 to Godaddy:
I asked them to remove the listing he said he could not see the listing and the domain were registered through Internic so I had to contact them and a little back and forth I asked for a supervisor.
He told me nothing he could do I had to wait for the Auction team to get into the office.

Call 2
About the same.

Call 3
Now I got the Auction support team.
The CS could not see the listing and asked me to email a screen shot to them. I did and she looked into it with their tech team.
She said they would remove the listing, which they have done.
I asked how it could end up on their site for sale and she said it had probably been for sale in the past. Which is correct but this is 3+ years ago.
I asked how we could prevent it in the future and were told there is no way to prevent it from happening again.


So from this I gather
1) auctions.godaddy.com list domains not for sale which is deceptive since customers have to sign up and pay a fee to bid.

2) any domain can end up there? Which can impact business for companies if their clients can see the domain name business is for sale

This is BS I started 7 hours ago and spend almost 1 hour on the phone to have this solved.
