Earlier in the summer, GoDaddy made a big announcement about their partnership deal with PayPal the popular online bank. This enables their customers to purchase domains and paying using paypal.

However, last week when i attempted to purchase a few domain names, i decided to pay with paypal. And guess what? The checkout never completed, i was taken to a PayPal error page stating "The service is currently unavailable."

I tried again a few hours later, and had another attempt the following day. Still no use, the service still seem to be "temporarily unavailable". So i decided to contact GoDaddy customer support, sent them a powerfully worded email about the outrage. Usually they reply within 12 - 48 hours but its been 3 days so far and still no response from them.

What i did notice right after my email, is that the PayPal method of payment in the checkout has disappeared. Yet it still states on the footer of their website that "New!! Now Pay with PayPal" with a big logo.

Something is definatly wrong, and they're not being forward with their customers about it. I expect a reply from a company as big as GoDaddy especially at a time where most domain registerars are starting to offer considerably cheaper registeration fees :frown:
