Help Godaddy ate my money and did not give me the domain

[dollarman2007]

and after 5 hours i am ashamed to see tripod.info is not in my account!

some people will think why am i cryin for $3.19?
well i am not a rich guy and findin tripod.info is a miracle.
please help me what to do

Hmm, well the first thing I would do would be to contact GoDaddy, and not come here. They should be able to set things right. If not, then come back here again for other suggestions.

Good luck.

Five hours isn't a long time - if they are unsuccessful in registering the domain for you they will automatically give you a refund, but it might take a couple of days to process.

Thanks for quick answers, i have opened a support ticket with them.
I need the domain not the refund
i slap myself for being lazy (i have to cry in a corner ((()

yes i paid for it, it was tripod.info
if you look at the time registered you will beleive me.
check www.domaintools.com/tripod.info its more accurate

most probably godaddy did not have updated database at the moment you made the registration.
but even if they forgot to renew it it's trademarked so whatever you do they will get it back.

[syedwasi87]

so you were charged for it?

[dollarman2007]

i did check it with namecheap.
i got my mail.
they are refunding full registration fees
Talkin for the trademark, as i am Indian no trademark can touch me

@64me
thanks for the link, but i am much in blackhat so no trademark even gugal pagal cannot touch me

Sometimes glitches happens at godaddy , I once registered a nice domain twice , they refunded it was a database error.
But when it comes to trademarks the rules apply to everyone in the world.

And where you do think a 3rd party service like domaintools is getting all that
data from?

[klklinc]

GoDaddy are notorious for there data base showing domains available when they are not. I have reg'd (or thought I had) numerous domains with them only to find that they were not actually available.
