GoDaddy is the registrar for all of the domain names that are sold by Quality Domains USA. In order for a buyer to purchase a domain name from Quality Domains USA, the buyer needs to either have a GoDaddy account or an account at another registrar.

Due to the fact that Quality Domains USA has selected PayPal as its payment processor, this means that anyone who purchases a domain name from Quality Domains USA needs to have a PayPal account.

This should not be considered a limitation due to the fact that PayPal accepts payments from the following credit and debit cards:

• American Express
• Discover
• MasterCard
• UnionPay
• VISA

In addition, people can also link a checking or savings account to their PayPal account. This allows individuals to send money online from their bank to PayPal without necessarily having to use a debit or a credit card. Clearly, all of these payment options give people and businesses a number of established ways to pay for their PayPal purchases.

For a Buyer Who Has a GoDaddy Account

Buyer’s can locate the domain name in which they are interested by going to the Home page, clicking on a category such as “attorneys,” sort by “title” and use the “arrow” to sort from A to Z or from Z to A until the correct domain name is located.

Once the domain name is found, click on the “Buy Now” button to be taken to PayPal for payment or click on “Visit Site” to be taken to a Landing Page which also has a “Buy Now” button.

After the Buyer clicks on the “Buy Now” button and pays for the domain name at PayPal, the Seller will initiate the transfer of the domain name from the Seller’s GoDaddy account to the Buyer’s GoDaddy account.

In order for this transfer to take place, the Seller needs the following information from the Buyer:

• The Buyer’s email address that is associated with his/her GoDaddy Account
• The Buyer’s Customer Number that is associated with his/her GoDaddy Account. This is especially important if the Buyer has more than one GoDaddy account.

Once the domain transfer process begins, the Buyer will receive an email from GoDaddy explaining the next steps to continue the process. These steps can be found in the following GoDaddy article entitled “Accept a domain name account change.”

Important. One of the key steps in this GoDaddy article will be an option for the Buyer to change his/her “domain contact information.” Why is this important? If the Buyer does not change the domain contact information, ICANN will show that the domain the Buyer just purchased still has “Quality Domains USA” as the “organization” that registered the domain name.

In the GoDaddy world, changing the “domain contact information” means changing the Registrant, Administrative, Technical, and Billing contact information. The good news, however, is that for the vast majority of GoDaddy customers, a person can enter his/her “Registrant” contact information and then checkmark a box saying “Use this information for my Technical, Administrative and Billing contacts.”  This means that you can enter your Registrant contact information once and this information will be automatically populated for your Technical, Administrative, and your Billing contacts.

Please note: the email address used for your “domain contact information” is NOT the same as your GoDaddy “Contact Preference” email address. This latter email address is where GoDaddy sends you information about the domain name you purchased.

By the way, if the Buyer makes changes to the Registrant Organization, Name or Email Address, ICANN requires the Buyer’s approval of these changes before the transfer is complete. If the Buyer has made these domain contact changes, GoDaddy will send the Buyer an email message with a link to complete the approval and information regarding the type of update the Buyer will make (which will determine where the Buyer will receive the email message).

After the Buyer makes the domain contact changes, the Buyer will get an email message from GoDaddy saying  that the Transfer of the domain name has been completed. This can be verified by the Buyer by logging into his GoDaddy account and seeing this new domain in his Domain Manager.

If any of this is unclear, please call GoDaddy at (480) 505-8877. Listen to the prompts and select “Tech Support” and then select “Domains.” Tell the tech support person that you need some help changing the domain contact information (more specifically, the the Registrant, Administrative, Technical, and Billing contact information) that is associated with your new domain name.

Note: Once the new domain is in the Buyer’s GoDaddy account, the buyer will have to wait 60 days before transferring this domain from GoDaddy to another registrar.

For a Buyer Who Has a Registrar Other Than GoDaddy

Buyer’s can locate the domain name in which they are interested by going to the Home page, clicking on a category such as “attorneys,” sort by “title” and use the “arrow” to sort from A to Z or from Z to A until the correct domain name is located.

Once the domain name is found, click on the “Buy Now” button to be taken to PayPal for payment or click on “Visit Site” to be taken to a Landing Page which also has a “Buy Now” button.

After the Buyer clicks on the “Buy Now” button and pays for the domain name at PayPal, the Seller will initiate the transfer of the domain name from the Seller’s GoDaddy account to the Buyer’s registrar.

In order for this transfer to take place, the Seller needs the following information from the Buyer:

• The Buyer’s business email address. This is important so that the Seller and the Buyer can communicate via email.

After the transfer of the domain name has been initiated by the Seller, GoDaddy will email the Seller a “transfer authorization code.”  The Seller will email this transfer authorization code to the Buyer who then gives this code to his/her registrar. This last step authorizes the registrar to process the domain name transfer. In the meantime, the Seller will receive an email message from GoDaddy asking him/her to approve the transfer of the domain name to another registrar. After this is done, the Buyer will have to wait between 5 and 7 days for the transfer of the domain to be finalized. The transfer can be verified at the Buyer’s registrar.

Note. At some point, the Buyer is going to have to change the “”domain contact information” at his/her registrar. Why is this important? If the Buyer does not change the domain contact information, ICANN will show that the domain the Buyer just purchased still has “Quality Domains USA” as the “organization” that registered the domain name.

If you have any questions about changing your “domain contact information,” please call tech support at your registrar. Tell the tech support person that you purchased xyz domain name, the domain name has been transferred from GoDaddy to them, and that you need some help changing the domain contact information that is associated with your new domain name and that gets sent by the registrar to ICANN.

The Buyer’s Receipt

Shortly after the Buyer pays for the domain name via PayPal, the Buyer will be able to view and print a receipt for this transaction.

If the problem hasn’t been resolved, please call Quality Domains USA at (234) 223-2228 and let the owner know about the payment problem and when it will be resolved by PayPal.
