2 ?'s: Re-Newing Expired Names and Premium Listings $$$

[Deleted member 111831]

Hi, two, hopefully easy, GD ?'s:

1: How do I renew a domain that has expired but not gone past the 6-Weeks (I think) grace period. It is not listed anywhere in my GD acct that I can find, and when I click on the link on the GD parked page it takes me to my account and shows me domains that will soon expire. How do I do this?

2: I sold a domain as a Premium Listing ($999 @ 30%). How and when do I get paid?

Thanks in advance!

1) Call up GoDaddy support and they'll renew it for you.

2) It takes a long time to get your money. They mail out checks within 45 days after the end of the month in which you sold the domain. So if you sold the domain on Jul. 14th, you have to wait until 45 days after Aug 1st to get your check. You could end up waiting 75 days for your check if your domain sells on or near the 1st of month. In my experience, the checks arrive about 30 days after the end of the month in which the domain sold. Pretty good turnover rate if you don't mind paying 30% commission and waiting two months for your money.
