Hi guys,

Have you ever received an email like this from GD ?:

"Dear ....,

xxxxx.COM

Error: xxxxx.COM: cannot register - already registered

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.

This happened to me once - on checkout GoDaddy told me the .com version of my name was available, so I regged it. Next day I got the email above that it in fact wasn't.

Happened to me too.
GD Whois might be under maintenance now and then for a few hours.

I've got this too with domains already reged long ago.

If it's too good to be true, it usually is!

it happens with names that are you found to be available when you added them to the shopping cart, but were registered by someone else by the time you decided to make the payment. Usually happens when you leave something in your cart for days, but has happened to me once that someone regged a name a few seconds before me
