    Well I emailed my bank (cause thats how I bought the domain) and before I submitted the email. They had asked a question on whether or not the $1.00 charge was a transaction fee. Like the withdrawel fees if you get yor money out at another bank or using a nonbank atm.

    So I wonder if the domain really is $13.95 and the transaction fee is $1?

    Did anyone really read the fine print and or TOS before buying the domain to see what the full charge was?

    Guys chill, They return your $13.95 after 1 month. Its a tradeoff in my opinion. They refund it but you gotta wait a month for the process.

    From what I have been reading here and at Namepros. It appears yes they do refund you the money but all within a months time...........

    I know great and cool but a little disappointed as well at the same time.

    they told me they will refund the extra money in 24-48 hours.
    It is not a total rip
    Paypal cancels after one month, but dotster cancels if you contact them.

    you will get charged 14.95 and then get refunded, so you need $14.95+ to be able to get the $1 domains

    So if we order 3 domains or more will we get the charge of $1 and $13.95 for each domain or what is what I would like to know.

    Even with the wait for refund its a nice deal..........

    Hmmm ok. Was just asking because one of the Forum leaders over at NP said he got something like 3 for $3 (Bill is his name - post #47 ). Thats why I'm asking.

    Ok just an update on my part. But I emailed my bank and also dotster.

    1.)My bank said the company has a right to put such price holds on items. That they have up to 3 days to return the money.

    2.)Dotster emailed me this morning saying the money will be back in my account within 24 hours. Just checked and the full amount is there.

    Problem resolved. Now I dont know about Paypal. I used my CC for the domain so I dont know for those who hace use Paypal, how it will be handled.
