Responding to offers on GoDaddy Auctions®
The buyer and seller can respond to and submit offers or counter-offers on domains on GoDaddy Auctions®.
The seller can accept, decline, or counter your offer when you submit an offer on a domain. In turn, you can accept or decline any counter-offer (by not responding) from the seller. You can also submit an offer that's below the asking price, as long as it exceeds the minimum offer amount.
If the seller counters your offer, you must respond within seven days or the offer will expire. The seller has 7 days to accept your offer, even if they send you a counter-offer. A seller may also use your initial offer to push their listing to a 7-day public auction. If this happens, your offer is set as the first bid and the domain is added to your Bidding List.
