So I've never really used godaddy much in the past, and decided to look for a few domains...

Anyways I thought I found cashupload.com for 10 bucks, and didnt notice that it was a premium domain for 1700

Anybody want to buy cashupload.com ?!

Ethersync · 05-25-2010, 02:03 PM

Are you saying you accidentally bought a $1700 domain?

seeandsee · 05-25-2010, 02:03 PM

yeah i know, i find sweet domains AVAILABLE, but then i see pop price fuck

benn626 · 05-25-2010, 02:05 PM

I didnt even notice how easy it is to buy the premium domains (i never use godaddy)

I was looking at cashrate before I bought cashupload.com and if i had bought cashrate i would have been charged 58k

Ethersync · 05-25-2010, 02:10 PM

Did you call GoDaddy? They used to have a 5 day refund policy.

tranza · 05-25-2010, 02:14 PM

You paid $1700 for that domain? Is that it????

I think it was removed about a year ago when ICANN changed the rules.

Came to 1750

what do you guys think its worth?

ErectMedia · 05-25-2010, 02:31 PM

actually not a bad name but it depends if you had a business plan behind it, if you were just buying it to park then yeah I would be pissed if I missed the premium price on it, guess we should list our domains for sale there if it's that easy to miss, if you wanna spend another 1700 today hit me up got a nice 6 letter brandable cash domain

, good luck getting your refund they can probably fix it.

It's not that easy. You have to be a real desperate idiot. They tried to hit me with it thousands of times, and I never bit even when the domain should have been legitimately mine!

sorry man but you must have been drunk or on drugs if you overlooked that big "is available as a Premium Domain Name!" right after the domain name ... but i know, things happens, so have luck with getting your money back ... but dont blame godaddy, its not their fault

In fact it's happened to me so many times I can't stop laughing. Like I'm going to buy something no one else wants for some crazy amount! LOL

Errrrr....so you're saying you went through the whole shopping cart part where it shows you the cost and clicked to proceed anyways? That be one lucky seller, damn. I have to admit I've never heard of anyone doing that until now...not on GD at least. I've had an buyer back out on Sedo saying he thought the price was $2,000 instead of $20,000 when he bought a 2-letter .net from me. Sedo did absolutely nothing about it, the bastards.

And yea, unfortunately I don't think you're going to find any buyers anywhere near that much. Sorry.

If you're looking for more domains, most of mine for sale are less than what you paid for that. Hit me up if you like and lmk what you're looking for and I'll show you what I've got.

BFT3K · 05-25-2010, 02:53 PM

I normally use NameSecure.com, but I recently had to set up a GoDaddy account to transfer a name that was already registered through GoDaddy.

Soon thereafter I needed to renew the name, so I thought - okay, no problem!

I logged into GoDaddy, and holy shit - they fucking try to upsell you 1000 ways from fucking Sunday! All I wanted to do was renew the stupid name, and it took forever, trying to avoid one upsell after the other! What an annoying process!

I finally finished, and thought it was over, but then I got A PHONE CALL FROM THEM, asking if I would like more services!

Talk about a pushy company! I will never register a name through them again!

benn626 · 05-25-2010, 02:54 PM

I don't buy alot of domains and when i do i usualy use namecheap.. I had bought a couple earlier today form godaddy that were the basic 11$, so when i put this one in and saw it was available I didnt notice the premium part at all. and as for the checkout I was just trying to skip all the bs that gd tries to offer you.. they are fixing it (i think) so no worries.

So you did not read what it said and that's a godaddy fault?

Sly · 05-25-2010, 02:57 PM

Don't feel bad. I have around 900 domains and I've done the same thing. I bought a $600 domain once on accident. Last week I bought a $30 domain once on accident.

Both of them I was able to get removed because I have VIP status, my rep told me that they are trying to get that eliminated because of so many complaints. Obviously you and I are not the only idiots.

greg80 · 05-25-2010, 02:58 PM

ask for refund, they will probably do it

I made a typo registering a domain few months back and they refunded.

How can you spend $1750 by mistake? That's incredible

No, it's actually pretty tricky. When you search for a domain that is already registered GD presents it as if it is available, but really it's just a back order.

Go try registering a domain that you know is already registered. Pay attention and you will see where one could make the mistake of ordering a domain they did not mean to.

LeRoy · 05-25-2010, 03:00 PM

Charge back time!

Adraco · 05-25-2010, 03:01 PM

Godaddy will cancel orders for you if you just get to them fast enough. They are aware that mistakes do happen. Just keep a friendly tone and they will help you out.

MaDalton · 05-25-2010, 03:09 PM

i don't know, but i usually read the total at the bottom of the cart before i hit submit...

Cyber Fucker · 05-25-2010, 03:37 PM

Next time don't buy domains while drunk. There was written very clearly that it's $1700 and it was written not only on one page... you had to see it when checking out too. I've never bought any domain by mistake.

baddog · 05-25-2010, 03:39 PM

And this is Godaddy's fault, why?

Yea but that's a backorder, which I think normally there costs $17. Add 2 0's and that's what the OP did. He bought something from within the premium domains area, which is entirely different and as far as I recall, it even lists the price next to the domain in that case.

Anyways, good luck to the OP...GoDaddy might be understanding and refund you. They don't pay the sellers out immediately from those sales...I sold one for $2,500 through them and they paid out about 3 weeks later, so you may be able to get a refund still.

VikingMan · 05-25-2010, 04:16 PM

cashupload.com is actually kind of a cool domain

Its not easy !...firstly you see your shopping cart total with remove next to all items that you may have accidently added......then just to make double sure the total is on the next page as well.

im amazed how anyone could get billed any amount over what they intended to pay.

Can I offer you something for 10 bucks?

sorry to hear.Call them for a refund.

There should be bells going off to warn you of anything other than default price. Maybe there is. And you just fucked up. Sounds like a nice little mousetrap that prob hooks .1 to 1% or such.

Their whole interface smells of upsells, mousetraps, general shiftyness and overall major league lameness.

babymaker · 05-25-2010, 08:32 PM

Godaddy is actualy pretty kool saved my ass yesterday I was chaning nameservers on a few domains and noticed a shitty domain I did not want and deleted it since it was about due and by mistake a grea domain of mine was in there so i panicked and they got it back for me and didnt charge me 1 cent

Chosen · 05-25-2010, 08:49 PM

There are many good registrars, I don't understand why is someone still dealing with the ones who can get them in trouble...

NetHorse · 05-25-2010, 11:01 PM

Wow, that really sucks man. On the bright side it IS a nice domain, so not a total loss.

I just planned to renew a domain with them a few days ago, but kept accidentally adding other stuff to the shopping cart and couldn't remove it. So, I found it easier to transfer it away. I do have to say that their support was excellent the few times I had to speak with someone, but I was in a hurry and found their checkout process too complicated for this simple task. I hope they'll give you a break.

Simple answer: It's worth alot of money to people who actually want it, but nothing to anyone else.

Go to Google and type in "Cash Upload" and you'll get this:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...=&oq=&gs_rfai=

A whole page worth of potential customers to sell this domain to. Don't forget to throw in "Your competitors are already interested in this domain...going once..going twice.."

Good luck!
