(much) faster payments with Go Daddy Premium Listings — My first

Go Daddy is paying for domain sales even faster than promised.

It had been a couple months since I sold a Go Daddy Premium Listing, but over the past couple weeks I’ve sold two domains.

These were the first domains I’ve sold with Go Daddy since it sped up the payment process. I’m happy to note that it paid even faster than promised.

The first sale was on December 17. That particular domain sold through Go Daddy auctions rather than the registration path. That comes with a lower commission (10%) but the promised payment schedule is slower. As stated by Go Daddy, payments for Premium Listings that sell on Go Daddy auctions for under $1,000 are disbursed 21 days following the buyer pays.

I was paid just one week later, on December 25. And although it wasn’t an instant transfer sale, Go Daddy took care of the transfer automatically.

The second sale was a regular Premium Listing sale on December 24.

Go Daddy states these are paid following a five day hold. Instead, I was paid just 2 days later — on December 26.

Even better, the payments were sent via PayPal so I don’t have to wait for a paper check.

I’m not sure if Go Daddy will always pay faster than promised, but even if it merely meets its promised timelines it’s a big improvement.
