Did I get ripped off by Dotster?

[sri]

I purchased a .com domain from dotster and in the process, used a coupon code that's supposed to bring down the cost to $1.

In the e-mail I received I see:

Authorization Amount: $14.95 USD
Capture Amount: $1.00 USD


I checked my paypal and see:

5863

What in the world is 'Authorization' type of activity? Will I get that $14.95 back?

I mailed them and can only hope to get a reply.

My guess is they will refund that $14.95 back automatically in the next 2-3 days.. I've used them to register a number of domains in the past, and never had an issue with them - They're a legit company, if that's your concern.

If that coupon is good for multiple uses, please PM me the code, as I've got a few more domains I need to register. Thanks! :)

Cartman, I don't know if you can use this code multiple times. Try it out and let me know if you find out.

PMed it to ya.

I've seen posts relating to problems with this coupon when used in conjunction with PayPal on a number of sites. It seems to be a conflict between Dotster's order process and PayPal, and they will definitely take quick action to refund your money. I agree 100% with Cartman; Dotster is as legit as they come.

You should get a refund within 5 business days.
