advice My domain disappeared [Updated]

maya-zir · Jan 28, 2016

Hi, very strange thing.
I bought a domain and I am sure I saw it on my GD account and because of that I confirmed to the seller the success push.
It was 2 weeks ago.
Today I entered my GD account and I have there only 20 domains so I paid attention that the domain was desappeared.
I check my conversation with the seller and I was right it was GD push and my answer with confirmation.
But the domain wast at my GD.
The WHOIS tells the owner is some chiness and showed the reg date as 28 of Sept 2015 and this is the correct date, but I bought it and it was mine!
I dont understand, I sent massage to the seller but still have no answer.
What can it be?
The seller is from here and I dont thing he is scammer, but how the domain could came out my GD without any alert massage from GD?
I have activated 2Factor security or what ever does it name.
But this the fact, WHOIS says a chiness name and the domain is not at my GD account.

check your email for Godaddy Invoice. That help you whether you registered or not or stolen from you.

Have no email

4pm · Jan 28, 2016

every time i have a name(s) pushed into my gd account i got email from godaddy with "Your domain transfer was completed successfully" and a list of names transferred in.

have you received this confirmation for the name in question?

maya-zir · Jan 28, 2016

It is strange but I cant find this mail, also I paid attention I have no my confirmation to the seller.
Usually I do it, I post "recieved".
Maybe he forgot and sold it again?
His last visit here was 21 of January.
And he still didnt answer me.

I think you forgot somethings. Think about more. Maybe you will find it.

Godaddy sends notification emails for all process.

Maybe he did not transfered it to your account, or he transfered it butyou forgot to accept it and domain returned to his account back.

Did you login in to godaddy, manage domains. Then in top left, it says domains with a pointed down arrow. You click that and it says Transfers, Pending account changes. You should need to confirm Did you at any point go there and accept the transfer , or account change if it was already reg at godaddy?
Not sure of time to accept pending account change or accept transfer.

Not sure of time to accept pending account change or accept transfer.

Time to accept transfer is 10 days.

Did you enter the authority codes correctly?
Did you make sure that your correct email was given to him?
If it did get transferred to you, did you make sure your email was in the contact info
I've bought domains that got transferred to my that still had some info attached to the domain that was from the other person. I had to make sure I changed the contact info in my GD account to match mine info.

I'm not sure but I think it could be pushed to your account with the other persons info still attached to it and that would leave it vulnerable to theft by them. DNS records can also point the domain somewhere else so change those too.

Good luck

Sometimes they have option to use current info, but it should be in control panel. Was the name already at godaddy @mayizir

maya-zir · Jan 28, 2016

I really dont understand why I dont see my confirmation of push in our convo thread.
But ok, maybe I forgot to acept it, but why he sold it to another one?

maya-zir · Jan 28, 2016

The seller is american guy, actual owner due to WHOIS is chiness.
The domain name is 858888858.com

You have to ask the seller.

If seller does not reply to your messages and payment was made through PayPal, you might want to open a dispute right now while it is time. This might help getting some replies from him.

maya-zir · Jan 28, 2016

I sent him PM yesterday, still no answer.
His last visit here was 21 of January.
If he will not answer, I will open dispute in PayPay, but I want the domain I paid for. .

If he sold the domain to another person, you will not get that domain back.
All you can wish for is getting your money back.

GravityEleven · Jan 28, 2016

Yup, domain is gone for good unfortunately, at least make sure to get ur money back and next time practice the push/transfer process at GoDaddy.. can be a bit tricky with the final confirmation step necessary for the transfer/push to complete

ps: moment! i think you are simply confusing 858888858.com (9N) with 8588888858.com (10N)..
the former one has belonged to that chinese from registration date on, while the latter does indeed belong to a US citizen (David George) and has an update stamp from 1st january.. check this first before you go file a dispute with paypal..

maya-zir · Jan 28, 2016

I have only 19 dimains at my GD, and there no not 9n nor 10n.
I know how to push at GD but I could forget to acept, but why he resold it again?

imadoer · Jan 28, 2016

i do lots of pushes thru godaddy i havent gotten a push email in months

Is the domain 858888858.com (9n) or 8588888858.com (10n)
If it is 10N, I used to own that domain. I sold it here on NP recently.

This domain posted by yourself above is a 9N, so indeed you happened to look for 9Ns at least.. count again, easily to confuse with so many digits during the purchase process already.. mistakes like these happen easily..

maya-zir · Jan 28, 2016

Maybe I was busy and forgot to check or acept the push, normally I always check it and confirm only after I see it at my account.

Silentptnr · Jan 28, 2016

If it was the 10N, I originally hand regged the domain and sold it last month here on NP. I found the information and I remember the buyer. He didn't have a GoDaddy account and it took several days, maybe a week to complete the deal.

Anyway, such a coincidence 9n or 10n...same digits.

Silentptnr · Jan 28, 2016
