When you sell a domain name through Go Daddy Auctions®, and you receive an offer for your domain name, you can either accept it, decline it, provide a counter offer or push the listing to auction using the buyer's initial offer as an opening bid. Buyers can submit an offer for a domain name, even if it's below the asking price.

You must respond to counter offers within the first 72 hours, while they are binding. If you accept an offer within 72 hours of the time the offer is made, the transaction must be completed.

If you choose to push the listing to auction, the offer is converted to a 7-day public auction using the buyer's initial offer as an opening bid. For more information, see What is Push to Auction?
