I've sold domain names before in the Snap Seller Program. When it first started, I accidentally typo'd the domain name I wanted to sell. I believe I added an "s" to the end when I submitted it. The sale went off and ended at somewhere around $750. I was psyched that the name sold for so much, until I went into my account and realized I had the singular. Unfortunately I made a mistake when the name was submitted, and the buyer didn't end up with the name he thought he won. It was a case of human error, but fortunately I caught it the day the auction ended, so the winning bidder didn't pay or receive the name. It's kinda strange the name landed in your account, but I guess the .com was at Moniker, too.

RE the .net being owned by Snap: They take possession of most names they auction (even in the Seller Program) unless it's registered at Moniker. If that's the case, the name stays with Moniker.

I know Snap now verifies ownership before auctions, but perhaps the .net name was first listed back when the program started, and slipped through the cracks.

It sucks, but it's human error.
