Hello Raja,
It looks like you have some feedback for a company that it wasn't delivered to! We here at GoDaddy.com sell online business solutions to customers. I want to help ensure your feedback is delivered to the correct company and have forwarded this information to Trustpilot for assistance.
My thanks,

I bought a domain that contains a trademark not knowing that I wouldn't be able to host it anywhere. This is a scam. They won't give me a refund so I'll go ahead and dispute

Hello Ekim ,
Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry to hear of the frustrations you have encountered. While it is the buyers responsibility to perform their due-diligence on names and if they can be used in their aimed industry. You can also list the domain name for sale if there were no plans to connect with the trademark owner regarding its ownership. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and helping us to understand how we can better meet our customers needs.
My thanks,
JM
Dan.com support is horrible. Time to jump this sinking ship
Dan.com support is horrible. Godaddy has stated that they are shutting Dan.com down for good. Switch to Afternic for peace of mind.
Update: Godaddy has confirmed that Dan.com is shutting down. The sunset period is being announced this year, within a month or two.
Dan.com isn't functioning the way it used to, development stopped months ago, and software has already been transferred to Afternic.

My transfer was not completed for 5 days. I wanted to cancel. They said they could never do that. Refunds are not transparently stated. Please consider that you can never cancel before you make a transaction.

Hello Yunus,
Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear your disappointment over the domain transfer process. As some of this process involves the Registries as well, there are set timeframes and protocols that must be followed. I have included a link to our terms of service that outlines this information as well:

I do not trust them at all any longer. Shafted me BY MANIPULATION into paying 25% commission instead of 5% . Do not trust them.

1. Need a choice of a MINUS Star Rating!
Add-on to first post:
So dan.com thinks it is ok, if "we the people," offered selling . . . say their personal owner(s) houses, or lands, or cars, or boats online, but did NOT offer any owner(s) anything upon the "SALE" of the items mentioned above!
That sounds exactly like what they are doing in their totally quazi-sales-offers of "domain names" that BELONG to everyone, and anyone else besides . . . dan.com!
SO. . . when anything belongs to anyone else, than NO ONE, anywhere, at any time, has ANY LAWFUL, nor LEGAL Right to offer to sell, and collect anything for any "offer to sell," without the ORIGINAL OWNER'S, in writing, authorization to do so!
And actual "owner" should also get a large percentage of any sale, before any transactions can be lawfully finished!
That LAWFUL FACT: is NOT only in NATIONAL but also in INTERNATIONAL LAW!
And if any domain "authority" says any different, "while any owner still owns said domain,". . . they have enjoined the "criminal conspiracy," since said "registrar" does NOT lawfully own any domain name "TOTALLY" to even any OFFER of said domain sale!
And it will be a "Trial by 24 Juniors" in an national court, and than by an international court!
............................................................
Well now, I type in MY domain name hosted at Porkbun, and has been at that registrar for 2 years, and paid for till 5 / 2026!
So, why is it being OFFERED at dan.com?
And way are they trying to sell it for . . .USD $395
And that is NOT the ONLY 1 that they have for 'sale" that 100% belongs to me, that they are trying to "sale" and the other domain I OWN is attempting to be sold at dan.com states (as in copied and pasted,)
(copied and pasted . . . from dan.com . . . )
Get this domain
Pay the full USD $2,495 now, or select Lease to own
Buy now USD $2,495
Which also BELONGS to me, and is *parked* at Porkbun.com until Aug 2026, which I will re-fund that domain, I OWN . . . ALSO
And I have screen-prints of **my owned domains** that are TOTALLY unlawful, and illegally "for sell" at dan.com!

DAN DOT CON OR WHATEVER IS A FRAUD - BAIT AND SWITCH PRACTICES. THEY TOOK THE DOMAIN I WANTED FROM MY CART AND NOW WANT 30,000 - I WILL NEVER TRUST DAN.COM, and this is a warning, USE ANY OTHER COMPANY YOU VAN FIND ON YOUT OWN. Anyone other THAN DAN.COM. DAN.com is not a legit company. ( EDITED BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY FILED TO HAVE THIS TAKEN DOWN BECAUSE I SAID DO NOT USE DAN.COM, USE XXXXXXXXX DOT COM or XXXXXXXXX.com). Like I said DAN DOT CON is the worst company I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. My GUT SAYS I WILL UPDATE THIS POST AGAIN). I OWN OVER 200 NAMES, AND IN THE NEXT 7, I WILL REMOVE ALL NAMES FROM any company with their name or likeness. I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR BUSINESS SOMEWHERE ELSE. Dan dot don CANNOT BE TRUSTED - I JUST CHECKED OUR SCREEN RECORDING, WOW - these firms, are literally unregulated and WE HAVE TO POLICE OURSELVES. - HEY EDITED AGAIN, THE GUY BELOW MAKING EXCUSES - YOU KNOW THE NAME, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID. MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WOULD JUST SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING. NOT ME. FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER REVIEWED ANYTHING IN MY LIFE. YOU ARE NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS. YOU ARE NOT BEING HONEST. I CALL THAT A BAIT and SWITCH. THANKS FOR TRYING TO TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS. HOW MANY MORE EMAILS DO YOU WANT TO SEND ME! #TRANSPARENCY LACKING

Hello Robby,
Thank you for your feedback. You can verify if a domain is already registered with a Domain Name Search on Registry websites such as ICANN. This will also give helpful information such as when the domain name was registered. I hope this information helps and we appreciate you sharing.
My thanks,
JM
Horrible platform, after 11 months on this platform i got my first sale on 23rd this month, they ask me to push the domain and that what i did but after 48h surprised by an email saying they cancel the transaction and close my account. After hard work finding a buyer for my domain name they wasted me a sale of 375$. I do not recommend this platform to anyone.

I'm confused....
My domain was originally with Go Daddy, and was then bought and parked by Dan.com... who are owned by Go Daddy.
Which means that it's just a round-about way of Go Daddy holding on to a domain that, really should have been given the chance for ALL people and companies to buy, not just Go Daddy, I mean Dan.com (my mistake!)

Hello Benjamin ,
Thank you for your feedback. and for the opportunity to clarify that Dan.com doesn't own your domain name. Dan.com is a domain name marketplace - we provide value to our customers by allowing them to create an account and then list domain names for sale, or purchase domain names from others. I am sorry to hear that your domain name expired and can confirm that all domain registrations follow a Domain Name Life Cycle when they expire (as dictated by the domains particular Registry). While some domain extensions can differ in this process, this includes being notified via email of the failed billing, the expiration, as well as opportunities to renew, recover the domain, or even bid on it at an expired domain auction. I hope this information helps and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
My thanks,
JM
have a very bad experience with dan.com I I tried them to sell one domain with the and they were not honest at all they say it going to take sometimes but they are waiting for the to do it to the buyer to accept the code they didn't told me that and they are slow and there's nothing nothing automatically with them everything then manually I don't know why they are taking $100 commission from selling a 500 dollar domain $100 of commission for what they didn't do nothing the only thing they did is they just take the code to the to the to the new buyer and if the buyer took 5 months to reply they will tell you how it takes in 5 months to the and they are not honest at all it's so very bad experience I don't know how they have this old reviews they are awful honestly

Hello M. A. S.,
Thank you for your feedback as well as for the additional information so that we could look into this experience further. From the time payment was received to when it was delivered was 7 days.
Regarding the commission that was paid; this is disclosed in our terms of service as well as upon sign-up and is to facilitate the transaction assurance, whereby we ensure that the domain and funds are delivered to their respective parties for that transaction or the party is refunded. This is on a percentage basis and depends on the price the listing was set for. I hope this information helps and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
My thanks,
JM
Buying a domain through Dan.com is simple and straightforward.
From a buyer's perspective the process was transparent, easy, and safe.
Really cool experience! Great customer service too.
