June 18, 2013 at 7:24 pmHow did they get to auction this domain name ? That will be some commission for Go Daddy. Will end users know its for sale, it could go for $10m.

E.com is a reserved domain its not available unless Verisign makes it available in the future and pretty sure if they do its won’t be on ebay.
If you looking for a one letter .com story check out z.com the biggest waste of a domain in the history of domains

June 18, 2013 at 7:30 pmMike I know its reserved, I guess Verisign arranged the auction ?

June 18, 2013 at 7:46 pmE.com is not available. This auction is bogus.
Single letter .COM, outside the (3) grandfathered ones (Q,X,Z), are reserved by the IANA. Verisign would not be able to just release these on their own without approval from the IANA.
If single letter .COM are ever released again it would be a very contentious process, and certainly have more notice than just listing a domain on GoDaddy auction without notice.
The fact this domain was listed is a poor reflection on GoDaddy and their verification system.
