Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.
Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.
On July 4, 2023, our customer registered a new domain name with Domain Ownership Protection (***) for 2 years. They also purchased an email package for one year, and their purchase included a free trial version of GoDaddys Websites + Marketing (***) plan, which is a do-it-yourself website builder platform.
On July 31, 2023, our customer contacted our ************* center (Care) to find out why the website they built wasnt loading securely. They were properly advised that in order to get the site to load securely, they would need to upgrade to a higher tier of ***.
Our customer decided to cancel their products and requested a refund. Per our Refund Policy, the email plan and the *** were refundable since they were canceled within 30 days. Domain registrations are only refundable within the first 5 days of registration. Our customer received refunds for the *** and email, but the domain is not eligible for a refund.
***************************************************/refund-policy.
RESOLUTION:
GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.
Because the domain has been cancelled, it no longer appears in our customers account. Even though its not refundable, our office has offered to reinstate the domain at no cost to our customer so they can use it for the 2 years they paid for.
Our office sent our customer an email offering to reinstate the domain, and if they wish to accept our offer, they can respond to the email or reach us at ***********************************************.

I ordered a domain name through GoDaddy on 7/7/2023 and paid in the amount of $122. It has now been over *************************************************** any updates on the order after multiple (4) attempts to get an answer from customer service. Many times having to try again later because their customer service queue was in excess of 2-3 hours wait time. All times I requested an update and then a refund for lack of services rendered to only be met with an automated response every single time. This is beyond ridiculous and extremely unprofessional and I highly advise anyone considering purchasing a domain name to avoid GoDaddy at all costs to avoid a similar situation.Business Response

On July 31, 2023, our auction Team determined the domain seller could not complete the transaction. An email was sent to our customer informing them the domain was no longer available and the transaction was refunded.

I have been a go daddy I have called three times this month and they have continued to mess with my payment and charge different cards with different amounts. My website isnt working and I was not the phone for over 39 minutes and got hung up on by the representative who did nothing to answer if help my calls. I am losing client money and my website this is unreal! The customer support person I spoken to today was named *******, very rude, unprofessional and not interested in truly helping sounded like she was smoking in the background. I had my email for my business linked to this and am not able to get any of my emails either. I spoke to someone on 7/24 the day before and confirmed my account was in good standing. But obviously that is a lie. Please help.I asked multiple times on each call to be transferred to an anger for help and each call I was denied that right to get proper service and support as a payment GoDaddy Pro member to boot.Business Response

On June 20, 2023, our customer contacted our Care Staff to inquire about the upcoming renewals in their account. Our Care Staff assisted with removing the automatic renewal option from some of the unwanted items in the account and manually renewed a domain, but incorrectly advised our customer that the next renewal date in their account wouldnt be until September.
Starting on July 2, 2023, per our customer's account preferences, ********************** attempted to automatically renew a Websites+Marketing (***)and M365 email bundle in good faith to honor agreements with our customer,however, the initial attempts were not successful. GoDaddy sent multiple notices post-expiration to our customer advising them that action was needed on their part, or they risked losing the content.
On July 22, 2023, the content published on the *** was taken down and the email address associated with the M365 plan was removed due to non-payment.
On July 23, 2023, GoDaddy successfully, renewed the services in question.
Our customer contacted our Care Staff on July 24, 2023, to inquire about the renewals. Our Care Staff explained the charge and republished the *** site so it would be live again.

I have never had a problem as bad as with GoDaddy. The customer service is not great and they are acting unethically. On 07-04-2023 an order was placed on my website for a doll with the payment method as being a credit card. I fulfilled the order, shipped it, and it was received by the buyer on July 10th 2023. On Saturday July 22, I was informed that the buyer disputed the purchase with their credit card company or bank. GoDaddy informed me to furnish proof of the transaction, which I did through email the same day. I was informed the money would be taken out of my account. Why? The dispute is being reviewed and now I am disputing it. So it makes no sense to take the money I earned. As of today, the money is in the process of being taken from my account in the amount of $157.99 AND I am without a doll. This person is either scamming me or used a stolen credit card, which has nothing to do with me. I was then informed that due to this chargeback, they were dropping me as a customer! I am a legitimate small business owner just trying to make a living. I called GoDaddy on July 22 and after explaining my situation, I was hung up on. Then I called back and was left on hold for 45 minutes purposely. I cannot reach anyone. I have tried emailing and I am getting ignored. So, I've been scammed by a consumer and GoDaddy! I can't use my website and I'm paid through February of ****! A more than fair resolution is for me to keep my $157.99 since I fulfilled my end and I am out a doll. I also would like GoDaddy to pay out the remainder of my subscription since I can't use my website! They will not allow me to even delete my payment information in my account. I keep tuning off auto renewal and somehow it keeps getting turned back on. This is atrocious. GoDaddy is the worst company I have ever used for anything. I would like my issue resolved, my money returned, and the remainder of my subscription amount refunded to me.Business Response

Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at ***************************************************.
Our customer set up ********************** Payments in their account, our built-in payment gateway, allowing our customers to take secure debit and credit card payments through their website or in person.
On July 22, 2023, our customer was informed that a chargeback had been received against the transaction in question, which the cardholder's financial institution initiated. These types of disputes may occur if there are service, product, or unauthorized transaction-related concerns. Consequently, our customer's account was debited the disputed amount, pending resolution.
RESOLUTION:
GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.
GoDaddy's ******** Services team has been in contact with our customer. If our team is advised that the chargeback in question is decided in favor of our customer, they will be credited the disputed amount.
Additionally, our customer's website services are functioning properly, and while they cannot use GoDaddy Payments as a payment gateway, they may consider other third-party options. Furthermore, their website is ************* eligibility, per GoDaddy's Refund Policy, viewable at this link: ***************************************************/refund-policy.
In addition, GoDaddy also provides its customers with complete control over their renewal preferences. They can, at any time, log into their account and modify those preferences. GoDaddy does not arbitrarily change the automatic renewal setting on our customers' behalf; account management is a customer's responsibility.

GoDaddy specifically states the following under General Conduct:
x. You agree to provide government-issued photo identification and/or government-issued business identification as required for verification of identity when requested.
There is no part of said agreement that authorizes GoDaddy in any parts to violates its clients privacy by collecting selfies or photos of customers. I provided a multitude of authentications which included a copy of my government issued ID on July 20th and the protocol states the following week when opening a support ticket
Upload a scanned or digital color photo of your government-issued photo identification. If you are not the account holder, upload identification for both the account holder and you. Select Next.
Wait why do you need my ID? You set up 2SV because you want to make sure your account is secure. We want to make sure of that too! We require an ID to bypass the 2SV security measure to verify youre the account owner, so we can keep your account safe from any takeover attempts. Rest assured that the information you send is protected and isnt used beyond the need to verify your account ownership. For more information about these requirements, please see our Terms of Service.I also authenticated the account by providing the 6 digit code sent via my email to customer support several times along with my customer ID.
Them requesting a copy of a selfie, was a violation of the terms of agreement, discriminatory of me exercising my rights of privacy and frankly speaking blackmail and an all out power move resulting in my work email being out of commission for several days. At this time I do expect proper relief for all days I didnt have access to the products I paid for you have defrauded me by charging me for products and not providing service as well as the countless other violations of privacy not only within our agreement but on a federal level as well.

When attempting to update credit card information, the 2 step verification process did not work. In attempting to resolve this we have been working for over 2 weeks trying to remove the 2 step process so that we can update the card information. They won't take it over the phone, we have been disconnected multiple times, promised that it would be done "in 90 minutes" and routinely lied to. Because our website contains the application to adopt dogs from our 501(c)(3) rescue we have been unable to get dogs rehomed which is causing a huge issue for us. The unresponsiveness and lying of this company is truly amazing. There has to be a way to just update credit card information, but they refuse to do so. In the meantime they have suspended our website and advise that they will charge an additional $80.00 if we have not resolved the credit card issue within days of the expiration.Business Response

What the response fails to tell the consumer is that the request to remove this verification was done on 7/18 and it took them until 7/23 to resolve the issue, well beyond their alleged 72 hours. Additionally, the numerous false promises made by their employees leads you to believe that this is in the process of being resolved which is FALSE. Had the employees at your company been upfront and advised that they were behind in getting resolution to this that would have had to be sufficient. The fact that they can't accept payment outside of this verification process is ridiculous.
In addition, after updating the account information with the new charge card information, I received notification that the card was denied and they would be unable to reactive our account. Not wanting to go through the h*** that was the last week and numerous hours spent by myself and the owner of the rescue, I updated the information with my own credit card. There were 2 CHARGES RAN, one for $44 on the credit card that they said was invalid and another for $69 on my own credit card. What is the correct amount? Where is my refund? I would have to go to them again and ask for resolution in what feels like a 7 year long chat for NO ONE will be able to resolve or care to resolve.
As a part of the resolution of the complaint I want a refund for the $69.00 credit card charge on my credit card. It is unfair and unreasonable to pay this charge, the issue lies with Go Daddy in how this was resolved and so the only charge should be the $44.00 charge to the rescue's credit card.
I expect to see that addressed to the follow up of this response.

I am trying to start a new business. I have been in business about 2 months. I chose Go Daddy for my website services as they advertised low CC fees and easy set up. I set my bank account with them and they said I was verified and could start taking payments which I did. My first sale of a little over $4000 seemed to be smooth until I tried to claim the money my customer had paid. ********************** provided a payment link, accepted the payment, told me to claim the payment and then backed out of it when they decided I was a risk because I did not have enough history. Now I had to refund that customers money and potentially lose a new customer because ********************** breached their contract. I did everything that was asked of me and Go Daddy chose after the fact to not honor what they had already put in writing. Now they are expecting me to pay $103.61 in CC fees for a service they are refusing to provide. I have reached out and via phone to the e commerce team and they agree it's not fair but state there is nothing they can do to help. This is extremely frustrating. I am out potentially tens of thousands of dollars with this customer because of **********************'s decision to not honor what they had already approved me for. I am simply asking for the $103.61 be taken off of my account. I should not have to pay for a service that was not rendered.Business Response

We have an account with ********************** to support our small business's website. We purchased the basic package which has an annual automatic renew. We are fine with our basic plan. However, GoDaddy enrolled us, without our consent, in an automatic renewal for an eCommerce plan that is much more expensive. Their company billed my credit card for this unauthorized eCommerce plan. I called the company to resolve the issue and spoke with a representative who helped me. He said he would credit me back the amount for the unauthorized eCommerce plan and had a manager approve the credit back. However, my credit card was still charged for the eCommerce plan and no credit has been made back to my credit card by GoDaddy.

On July 17, 2023 I received a call that they made a purchase of $61.99 on my website yakimavalleyfruitandproduce.com for fruit and produce. They said that they received a reply thanking them for the order and to go to another website for payment. I knew nothing of this transaction did not send a reply to them, nor received any money from them. This was a scam and my account has been hacked! I spent 1.5 hours talking to GoDaddy and asking after repeated assurances that my website and payments were secure for credit cards when I first joined them last Oct, it is not! It has cost me my name, reputation, business and income!! They assure me the individual has been given a refund, but as yet at the time of this complaint, it still has not occured!! He is even ,madder and telling everyone negatively about my website! I am unable to reach them, get put on hold, hung up on,, transferred to another ***** receive no call backs. They are terrible at customer service, reliability and assistance. Now I have to close down my website due to the lack of security!I am out of business because over ***** customers have been trying to place an order since June 1, and GoDaddy has the payment section for credit card purchases blocked! (The totals given are not for these purchases but for test runs and for membership fees.) They are are and will not help me, saying the site is ok. It is not!! I've lost thousands of customers, sales and credibility that I cannot get back!Business Response

Thank you for the opportunity to address our customer's concerns.
Upon conducting business with GoDaddy, our customer acknowledged and accepted our agreements, found at *********************************************************;
On October 24, 2022, our customer purchased *********************** Websites + Marketing eCommerce (***) for a one-month term. Websites + Marketing is a proprietary, do-it-yourself, template-based product to construct a website. Our customer has been renewing their *** on a monthly basis with the assistance of GoDaddys ************* team and automatic renewal.
Between June 15, 2023, and July 22, 2023, our customer was successful in contacting our ************* Center multiple times to address concerns regarding transactions and that their customers were unable to complete purchases through their website. During this time our Care Support team worked with our customer to the best of their ability to address their concerns.
RESOLUTION:
GoDaddy upheld its agreements with our customer in good faith and honored its terms of service.
We ask that our customer please allow time for refunds to reflect within bank accounts. Refunds can take 7 to 10 business days to fully process, however some financial institutions can take up to a full billing cycle to post a credit.
We are seeing multiple purchases through our customers website since June 6, 2023. While our customer has referenced a significant number of visitors to their website, like other retailers some visitors are just browsing and will not make a purchase.
On July 3, 2023, and again on July 24, 2023, our office attempted to connect with our customer by phone to discuss their concerns. Unfortunately, we were only able to leave voice messages. We welcome the opportunity to connect with our customer and can be reached at *****************************************************************************************.
Thank you again for the opportunity to address the concerns presented by our customer.
Kindest regards,
