A reader sent in the following email they received from GoDaddy. Apparently certain new gtld extensions cannot be made for sale on the auction platform at GoDaddy. All the strings removed belong to Uniregistry.
Dear Sir or Madam:
Due to a backend change on our end, your domain listings for any domain ending in the list of domain extensions below will be removed from the auctions platform.
GoDaddy strives to provide its customers with great product experiences wherever possible. After careful consideration, we decided to remove Uniregistry domain names from our platform because their pricing changes caused frustration and uncertainty with our customers. Due to this change, we will no longer be able to support Uniregistry TLDs on our auctions platform.”
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
The impacted top level domains are:

GoDaddy Auctions Support

September 22, 2017 at 6:43 pmAll those names are still sellable at the Uniregistry Market and other auctions. Has Afternic actually sold any names in those extensions ever?

September 22, 2017 at 8:55 pmAs long as GD is not offering the TLD .top (which is not an UR TLD but without any question one of the leading TLD’s and available / sellable @ UR), there is anyway no reason to use their platform.
