    Hello, I recently ordered a domain through yahoo and then canceled the order. I can't access melbourne IT or call them, so I would like to know if it is possible to reactivate the domain through yahoo for now. I tried, but it brought me to a paypal page, and I don't want to get charged $35 or an insane amount like that for reactivation. Anyone know?

    I do, but I think the domain is locked anyhow. Plus, I'd need to wait 60 days. The best thing truly would be a way to "unregister" the domain.
    edit: Just found a number of theirs that worked and they said it costs $9.99, so I guess I'll do that, since it's like a renewal. $12 for 2 years isn't bad :)

    YES and it costs a lot.

    Don't do it! Transfer your domain to somewhere else if you're already on Yahoo!
    9.99 for the first year and every year after is $25 or $29 dollars.

    I just registered because of the $2 sale, I'm transferring to namecheap in 2 months anyhow.

    There was a glitch in my sale though. I registered the 1 year for $2, then canceled, then reactivated for another $2 and got another year. It then said it costs $10 for reactivation, but the payment already went for $2 so the other one was invalid and i got 2 years for $4 :D.

    I wouldn't use Yahoo to register a domain name. Use GoDaddy, NameCheap, or a similar service that is dedicated to providing domains.

    I know it's not that good, it was just cheap, (can't use godaddy, no CC) and I'm transferring once I can anyway.
