the items have been cancelled
 

hi everyone ... please anybody have experience with domain like this one? i have bought a nice expired domain. very nice domain. i have been waiting redemption period to see the domain free to register. yesterday the domain expired and was available to register, so i did. registration come through with no problem, everything is fine, i am the owner and i am on whois ... now, after 8 hours, i have received email that "Per your request, the items listed below have been cancelled from your account", but guess what, i never cancelled that domain, of course. the domain is not mine anymore, i see that there is some chinesse fucker as registrar. so what the fuck does this means please? i am really pissed of ... thanks in advance for any reply and idea what to do if there is anything to do :thumbsup

contact the registrar you purchased it from.

Could be many things ? was it Godaddy ? as they own a chinese company they use for snapping up domains to send to auction / if it was give them a call on thier 24-7 support line and im sure they will fix the problem.

If its not Godaddy I would still say simply call your registrar and explain what happened.

thank you cyf and claire, i am going to contact godaddy as it was the registrar and the domain was really good, so what claire said may be the cause. thank you much for reply hope it helps! have a nice day everyone! :thumbsup

so i got some stupid email that the registration did not went through something. after 8 hours ... so this is my first big fuck off to godaddy, fucking thiefs!

im never ever registering any quality domain with them ... fuck off godaddy again

As I dont know the total ins and outs of what took place....Have you called thier 24-7 support line...maybe doing so may help ? if you havent already done so already.

Just my 2 :2 cents:

thank you claire, but for me its not that easy to get things on phone. i am happy i can so so communicate with writing, and if i am talking i need hands to understand. talk on phone is not possible at the moment for me, so just lesson learned ... thanks for help! :thumbsup

btw, there is a parked site on the domain now ... and guess who is parking it?

keep up the great work godaddy ... i am speechless ... i will not gave up on this, this is just pure steal from godaddy.com domain registrator. godaddy are thiefs! confirmed with things to prove. godaddy are thiefs! good to know, no more hundreds of domains through that shitty fuckers ...

GoDaddy has always been shit and will continue to be shit. Don't waste your time on them. Next time you want a really nice expiring domain just backorder it @ NameJet.

You're fucked...

Where can we backorder a domain?

SnapNames or NameJet.

what register did you use?

more than one person was attempting to reg it

pretty common

As far as i know you cant buy a domain that is in redemption period. you can place a back order on one, multiple people and and companies can backorder the same domain.

I know this sucks for you, and if some any reason you would like me to call godaddy on behalf of you to argue with them I would since I am in the states. But every domain that is registered on godaddy has a parked site with godaddy before you set the site up. You can check my site here. giantbigbutts dot com. I have no yet started working on this site so it is still on godaddys DNS.

Have you waited the 75 days after the domain expires?

You must wait 75 days after the domain expires, to be able to OWN that domain...

Otherwise you can pay the FEE, but if the original owner renews it, you lose it...

Heh, ~4-5 years ago I had two quite opposite situations where I backordered domains... expired domains were grabbed by other registrar, but not set in locked mode and as godaddy still had active backorder on them they grabbed the domains for me.

Still using one of them and sold other one for nice amount around a year ago :)

I had the same thing happen in 2005. Bought a good domain from GoDaddy, set the dns for my hosting, and put a blog up on it, then I got an email a day later that my purchase was cancelled.
I contacted them, and they told me that at the same time I purchased the domain, a guy in Israel purchased it, and they claimed that he bought it a few seconds sooner than my transaction.
I tried to fight it, but they insisted nothing could be done.
They credited my account for the domain, and that was it.

Good luck, but I think you are probably in the same situation.

it happens but has nothing to do with godaddy...

Same happened to me either but I did not fight anymore since I don't like their service as well as their company policy.
