Even if u purchased it for 10000000000$ u will have to return it to google bcoz its a trademark and yes ... IE SUXX
Hope you will get your money refunded though Otherwise, it would be the perfect catch I have ever heard about
I'm not sure what you think you have won. Unfortunately, they will probably leave you feeling all messed up if they find out that you have it. This is a very clear case of trademark violation if you put a web site up using that domain.
first of all, the only reason i went to this thread was because i quickly say "how i just got punched in the face' but i guess not , id keep the domain under a very inactive account and try to make google not notice u have there name
lol just got an email Dear musa aykac, The following domain name has failed to be registered: GOOGLE.CO.UK Error: Add domain failed for GOOGLE.CO.UK domain exists We will evaluate this error and retry the registration if appropriate. If we are unable to successfully register the domain name, your account will be credited accordingly. Please allow one business day for the refund to be processed. Please contact GoDaddy.com, Inc. if you need any further assistance: http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/support.asp?prog_id=GoDaddy&isc=gdbb14 Sincerely, GoDaddy.com, Inc.
But i think you should claim to GD that if this one was not available then why your system showed available???????? You should claim some money from GD with the saying that your system allowed me to purchase this domain. so now i must be given this or refund me in double or tripple.
I don't see any use. It is Google. Just a trade make name. Will only worth if there is traffic coming to it. Good things are not always that cheap!
It just goes to show how efficient the system at GD are! I fail to understand why no one bothered to check and rectify its availability. Even if OP was able to get it registered, I do not think he would have been able to go far...with it! Regards, RightMan
Well at least Godaddy took the effort to rectify this and visit my blog and leave a comment Sorry about the trouble. To maximize our customers’ chances of registering available domain names, GoDaddy.com processes orders even if there might be problems communicating with the registry (to determine availability). We think false-positive domain name registrations are better than false-negatives. In the rare instance when someone orders a domain name and it’s unavailable, we automatically refund the order. If you have questions, we offer 24/7 support via and at 480-505-8877.
