Listings Back Up to 30% — GoDaddy Premium

Temporary 20% commission now back up to 30%.

Go Daddy’s experimentation with commission rates for Premium Listings is over (at least for now).

The commission charge is back to the original 30% on any fresh Premium listings or if you edit existing ones.

For the past couple months the commission was reduced to 20% on any fresh listings or if you made changes to existing ones.

Although 30% is the highest commission in the industry, the reach of Premium Listings is hard to ignore. Premium Listings are shown directly in the registration path of GoDaddy.com when someone searches for the same domain name. Clients can buy the domains on the spot and they are instantly transferred into the client account.

GoDaddy registers regarding half of all fresh domain registrations, so the audience is substantial.

You can also get your domains for sale listed on GoDaddy results pages if they are listed on the auction service, but there’s no instant transfer capability.
