I'm trying to get into backordering and I have a few questions... If 20 people try to backorder the same domain with the same backorder manager like SnapNames, who gets it? Which backordering services do not charge you for unsuccessful captures?
Snapnames will not charge you if you are unsuccessful. If other people than you have backordered a domain at Snapnames, you and those people will go into a private auction. I think it is the same with Pool and NameJet. At Godaddy you pay upfront (about 20$), but if you are unsuccessful you can allocate the backorder to another domain until you are successful. Btw Godaddy will not beat Snapnames, Pool or NameJet if the domain is backordered there too.
