You can purchase the option to set a reserve price, which is the lowest price you will accept for a domain, for domain auctions you list on Go Daddy Auctions. Setting a reserve price allows you to set a lower minimum price as encouragement for 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 domains listed for public auction. For more information about your options for listing domains, 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.
