Not only can my company not use the products and services that we cant use because of a computer glitch on their end, their customer service is inefficient, incompetent, and difficult to reach. I have spend almost 4 hours trying to get my tech issues resolved with (which includes the approximate 1-2 hour hold time aggregate I have had to wait to even get an agent to respond in the first place).

Hi,On March 30, 2023, I completed the purchase of domain name cbdxl.com via Godaddy's auction service. Delivery of the domain name was not promptly carried out, and repeated inquiries kept pushing the delivery date, while ensuring the purchase had been successful. However today, I received an email from the company informing me that the sale of the domain name had been canceled and that I had been refunded. Since the domain name's registrar is Godaddy themselves, and given that the purported domain name owner is registered with them and carried out the auction through them (and also that the domain had not expired and therefore could not be renewed post-expiry), and in addition given the fact that I had no say in the resolution of this issue, I demand that Godaddy delivers the domain name as planned, pending payment on my end of the originally agreed amount, which they have reimbursed me without my consent. I've attached the invoice, the record of ******** communications with their customer service, as well as the email informing that they have broken the contract.Many thanks for your assistance,*************************Business Response

On March 30, 2023, our customer purchased the domain name in question via the GoDaddy Auctions website. GoDaddy Auctions is a service that facilitates the buying and selling of currently registered domain names.
On April 8 and 9, 2023, our customer contacted our ************* team to inquire about the status of the domain.
On April 18, 2023, our auction Team determined the domain seller could not complete the transaction. Consequently, an email was sent to our customer informing them the domain was no longer available, and the transaction was refunded.
RESOLUTION:
GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.
While we empathize with our customer's frustration, ********************** is not the domain name's registrant and has no control over its availability.
In addition, when a customer participates in ********************** Auctions, they acknowledge and accept GoDaddy's Auctions Membership Agreement. This agreement can be found at this link: ***************************************************/auctions-membership-agreement

I was a 20-year customer of **********************. ********************** bought them out, but everything was ok for a couple years. Than last year GoDaddy sent a notice saying that MediaTemple customers would be transfered over to GoDaddy. I had many issues with that company some years back (over charges, theft of my domain names) and so I opted to leave MediaTemple. I requested the standard CLOSE THIS ACCOUNT ******* before the migration. I moved ALL of my domain urls to my new hosting company, then requested to close all of the parked unused ones. Issue 1 - GoDaddy, migrated my account, even after it was to be closed before any migration, even after I made it VERY clear I did NOT want a GoDaddy account and there was nothing left (supposedly) on the MT account. Issue 2 - They billed me for another month forward, even after I requested the account closed BEFORE the billing date. And mind you this was months ago - in fact this all took place in Nov. of 2022! And now, it is April 18, 2023 and GoDaddy tried to get me to verify my email on my "account" with them.It has taken me over an hour 1/2 to get what they had as my account and a domain I had thought they closed according to my Media Temple request to close, up for renewal AND they still had my credit card on file.This has been a GoDaddy practice in the past, trying to force customers to stay as customers. I was NEVER a GoDaddy customer, this was their blatant mistake and the fact that it took me 90 mins to straighten this out...that there was not only one but actually two accounts listed under my name and email address - neither of which I EVER authorized, had me dumbfounded. It was bad enough that prior to changing over MediaTemple accounts they raised the monthly billing from $18 to $29/ month (That was a shock that made me know it was time to find new hosting).GoDaddy needs to change their bad practices. They are a terrible company and someone needs to help stop consumers from being ripped off by them. Hope you can help.Business Response

This is not actually the truth and illustrates part of the issue... It started with Media Temple having no one responded to me that they ignored my having set up deleting my about Prior to the migration. I sent that to media Temple more than 2 weeks prior to GoDaddy's migration. And, I had called Media Temple and spoken to someone who had said this account would be closed, but instead I was charged for another month I did not want and the account wasn't closed... That was where this started. I have since managed to delete the GoDaddy account, but this was their issues, add they didn't have any support for anyone on MT's side, now there"s.Business Response

We purchased go daddy emails back in February 2023 that include the proof point security software. We have been receiving complaints that the emails have been coming in delayed. I contacted Godaddy and advised what was going on, they send me an email on how to adjust my security settings.After a couple of days, we where still having the same issue, emails coming in 10 to 30 minutes late. I reached out again, and had a very pleasant rep advise me that my sensitivity might be set to high and changed it from from a 7 to a 14. Now half of my emails where being blocked. I called back again, we changed the level the lowest sensitivity and added some emails to the whitelist. The setting still did not work, the emails where still getting caught in spam and some didn't even show up in the quarantine list, is was like almost they were lost in cyber space. The rep agreed we should remove the security software and stated that in an hour I would get an email regarding the refund to the security package I pre purchased. I never got an email. I called back and the reps kept stating that I am out of the 30 day window to receive a refund and only ONE account could be credited back to me. As I have explained, first I was told I would get a refund for the entire security package as it DOES NOT WORK properly in our account. I followed protocol and did followed support instructions and until we removed the security feature, is when the emails started to work 100%.Please explain how can you bill me for something that does not work properly? 3 of your techs look at my account and still not able to figure out why, the last rep ******** lied ( last rep saw everything) stated that she is not able to see security side of it and it was my responsibly to add things to the whitelists? again chanting the 30 day rule?Again, how can go daddy charge me from something that does not work? what happened to common sense? I even was willing to accept a store credit!Business Response

Between 5/2022 and 4/2023 Go Daddy added a ************** on my plan without my knowledge or permission and has kept charging me. When I called after cancelling the plan they did not acknowledge that they did it without my permission, I asked for cancellation and refund, they denied saying I asked for it, I proved that I did not, they then said it is too late to refund, when I should proof that there was no correspondence from them to sell me this product or letting me know about double charges and extra plans, then they said your payment method is different, then I showed the the proof that the original card was expired and I had to replace it with PayPal. Still they did not accept to credit back the service I never asked for, permitted or was aware of.

They claim I purchased the service while they on their own unbenounced to me added that to my account and after charging my account I received an email re my Mounty payment.
They are not acknowledging the fact that they added the service which I did not want nor did I initiate its purchase.
The entire argument is over my agency as a customer and them having no right to claim I did it while I did not. It was added to my account. I found out after I checked the recurring charges on my bank account which was suddenly higher than usual. That's when I chatted with their online agent to cancel the service and request a refund for the service I did not purchase.
They refused to credit my account back with the service I did not want, did not purchase and did not request.
I appreciate your help in this regard.

I currently have a website and email account with **********************. For the last three years I have been charged for two websites and 2 email accounts. GoDaddy auto deducts the payments off of my credit card. One set of billing in May for my account and another set of charges in March for this non-existent account. I thought it was fixed last year but they deducted it again this year. I call about the charge to my credit card and they tell me they don't see a payment on my account for that amount... and that is as far as it goes... ask for a supervisor, he will call me back... no call back ever received... put on hold and then disconnected... have to start all over again... they tell me I have to provide an account number in order for them to refund the money... How am I supposed to know the account number of a bogus non-existent account that you are erroneously billing me for? Your Error, your bogus charge but I have to prove it exists in order for you to fix??? Unreal.I contacted my bank to get it refunded... . Like I said earlier, I DO have an account, all paid up, all good... I am billed every May for it... every year, for three years now, they ding my card for this non-existent account that I have no information on and they will not fix. When I am able to unhook the boss from that email address we are gone... Poor poor customer service.....Business Response

The company did not inform me of the potential for loss of data or downtime due to the upgrade. I was on with support at the time the upgrade was initiated.
The company then said they would have this corrected within 72 hours. They failed to do that or provide updates.
My sites were down for a full business week.
The company did provide one year of hosting for free. I spoke with a manager and requested at least two years for free due to the terrible support I received.
I am still asking for an additional year.

Thank you for the opportunity to address our customers additional concerns.
We stand by our previous response, and while we regret any delay in completing our customers hosting migration, it has been completed in its entirety. Consequently, we respectfully decline their request for an additional year of hosting.
Thank you again for the opportunity to address the additional concerns presented by our customer.
Kindest regards,

I would like this escalated beyond the current representative.
