I sold one of my domains on Sedo (for $60 – what a shame) yesterday. The buyer has submitted the payment and I should prepare for the domain transfer.
It’s my first domain regsitered on GoDaddy that I want to transfer out. I’ve logged into my GoDaddy account and turned the locking function of my domain off. It was easy…
Previously I just pushed domains to Sedo’s GoDaddy account. It was faster and easier. But this time we transfer the domain to the buyer so we need the EPP code (also called authorization code) for this domain. The buyer needs this information to transfer the domain name into his/her possession.
Finding your GoDaddy domain’s EPP code isn’t so easy. It seems they don’t want me to transfer my domains out 
It took me more than 20 (precious) minutes to find that **** link.
Once you are logged in to your GoDaddy account, go to your domains overview and click on the domain you want to transfer. There is a link at the bottom of the left column saying “Authorization Code: Send By Email”. Click on the link and they send an email with your authorization code to the administrative contact email address for your domain. Look at the image below:
GoDaddy is a good registrar but I don’t really like their upselling style and looking at Danica every time I go there Anyway their support is great and I like their auctions where you can buy second-hand domain names for $5.
I hope this post will help you save your time.
