You can purchase the option to set a reserve price, or the lowest price you'll accept for a domain name, for your listings on Go Daddy Auctions®. Setting a reserve price lets you set a lower minimum price to encourage potential buyers to place initial bids, but it ensures the domain only sells if the reserve price is met.

You can only set a reserve price for domain names listed for public auction. For more information about your options for listing domain names, see Understanding Selling and Listing Options.

You cannot set or increase a reserve price after the auction starts. However, you can lower a reserve price. For more information, see Changing My Reserve Price.
