    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
