I don't know about the billing stuff, but when you go to register a domain name, there are people watching the servers to see what domain names are being searched to see if the available. When one shows available, they hurry up and register that name theirselves and when you got to pay and claim the domain, lo and behold, it is taken. That way, you have to contact the owner of the domain you originally wanted and buy it off of them. They charge an arm and a leg. So by buying domain names for next to nothing and selling them for a lot more, it is their way of making money. Its all a big scam.

If you didn't get it, your credit card company will have a receipt of the payment.\nYou can ask the card issuer for proof of payment and if that doesn't work with the vendor then you'll need to ask that the payment be charged back.

I dont use paypal for this reason , all I can tell you to do is call your credit card company  (the CC used on Paypal) and dispute the charges, you might win but you might not......its worth a try

There are companies out there that will help you buy a domain that is already taken.  Of course, if you are trying to buy something like yahoo.com or sony.com they obviously don't want to sell it.  If you want to buy a site from someone who isn't actively using it, you can usually buy it for $50 - $100.  If that doesn't work try a different top level domain like .org or .net.

step 1. hoping u paid thru ur credit card... ask ur card company to stop the payment immediately...\n\nstep 2. write to the website u bought from.\n\nstep 3. legal action in case of no reply.

Speaking of ID theft...this is a one time purchase..no recurring fees...It's theft to charge what these services charge.\n\nhttp://www.anti-identity-theft.com\n\n==================

Your experience is very common. But without further details no one can say whether there's "foul suspected".\n\nOnly ICANN-accredited domain registrars can truly register domain names. But they form reseller partnerships with other companies to expand their services, especially hosting providers.\n\nUnfortunately not all resellers register a domain name in real time. Some actually put orders on queue and forward them to their registrar partner to register...if they're available.\n\nA lot can happen within a few minutes, especially if multiple parties are trying to register for the same name at the same time.\n\nBut to answer your question, no. Not yet, anyway.\n\nOn the other hand, there's another practice called "domain kiting" or domain tasting that's been going on. Essentially some parties register a domain name that's been "looked up", taste whatever traffic or see if anyone's interested in it, then either let it go within 120 hours (5 days) or keep it.\n\nIf what I explained above indeed occurred, don't contact the current registrant of the domain name and don't look it up on your browser. Give it about 120 hours (5 days) from its initial creation date.\n\nWith luck, it might become available by then. If it is, be sure to register it with a REAL domain registrar like Go Daddy, Domainsite, etc.\n\nBut again, without further details (like the domain name's WHOIS record minus the name), it's hard to say what possibly occurred. It could be coincidental for all we know.\n\nGood luck and good hunting.

can you be more specific in your question?\n\nare you sure you gave them your correct mail id? sometimes they might mistake the extensions like .com or .co.uk or stuff like that

If *you* registered the domain name, it is *yours* during the registered period. I don't see why you would have to "buy it back" from any body, unless it was hijacked from you. \n\nPerhaps you need to explain the entire situation for us to offer better advice.

Call the bank or go to the card-holders web site and question the purchase.\n\nBut that sound like a porn charge to me.

You must be the person who registered it. By not registering it you have no rights to it and in fact you did exactly what these sites want you to do and that is show an interest in a site so they can park on it. You should have used somebody like Netsol to search for the address and then any of the dozens of trusted registars to register it the second you thought you wanted that address.\n\nNow if you still want to have that address you have to show that you have a claim to that site and the current owner is just parking on it. The process will not be easy and will not be quick. I would suggest writting back to this outfit and ask them what they think is a fair fee for the domain name. If they come back with a number you are unwilling to pay then I would write them back that you are going to file a complaint with ICANN and you have the documentation to show they are illegally parking on the domain. This will probably get you another offer from them. To give you an idea the last group I had do this wanted $3000.00 for the domain which then came down to $500 when I talked tough.\n\nSorry but just like anything else you need to be fast and assume your going to get screwed in business. If there is anything we can do to help please contact us.

go to www.godaddy.com\n\nand enter 'sign up for domain name' or something of the like, and it'll tell you if it's taken.

I'd stay away.  I couldn't find the company registered with the State of California and their domain name is registered with GoDaddy in a way that hides the actual owner.\n\nIf they are "real" they likely sell you wildly overpriced computers.  I certainly wouldn't give them all my personal information.

Assuming that you used your credit card to make the purchase, just call your bank and dispute the charge. \nYou will get an instant 'temporary credit' back on your credit card.\n\nGood Luck....

Do NOT give your card # and exp. date to ANYONE but the credit card company!  Call the bank first thing in the morning, verify who you are and they should be able to clear this up.. if card is lost and stolen, report it immediately to keep from having any MORE charges on your account... that's how identity theft can ruin your credit.. good luck!
