Does it mean that only I have placed a backorder?

The number of bids is 1.

yes. good luck.

 

[bioliwu]

yes. good luck.

but why did not they sell this domain to me directly at $60.....:?::?::?:

Sorry I am new to domain backorder, thanks for your help.

my guess without knowing the domain is that they have started a public auction with your bid.

my guess without knowing the domain is that they have started a public auction with your bid.

It is being listed on "Deleting Domains Auctions", which is only open to people who have placed a backorder.

There is another "Domain Marketplace Auctions" open to everyone.

I have a domain that seems to be in the same situation. One bid.. Very odd since I've backordered through Pool before and when I was the only bidder, it just went right to me for the $60. Their site is down for maintenance at the moment, or I'd check to see if you can click on the number of bids to see who the top bidder is.

It could be (I'm just guessing) that it shows 1 bid, because 2 people placed the same bid ($60), so only one gets to be the top bidder. When their site comes back up, see if it'll let you click on the number of bids, or the bid amount shown. If so, hopefully it'll list the "bidder" so you can see if it's you or not. If it's not you, then someone else got in the backorder first maybe, so their bid trumped yours as the starting bid. When it's back up I'll check this out too and post what I find.

This has happened to me in the past year. Some instances there was another bidder, but I ended up with domain. It's yours. Cheers. I thinks it's a glitch in their system.

sometime it takes a few days to transfer the domain to the winning registrar

Ok, pool is back up, so I checked the auction that I'm in which only showed 1 bid. The fact that the $60 shows up in green on yours means you are the high bidder so far Click on the number of bids (the 1) and it'll show who the high bidder is (you). There should be a link after you've done that which says "Auction Participant List". Click on that and you'll see all of the people who backordered that domain. Unfortunately for mine, the $60 (1 bid) shows up red, and there are 6 people total in the auction.

Hope this helps

Chances are you're going to get the domains. Whenever I backorder it shows on auction for a day or two then I get it - either they're testing it to see if someone else wants it or it's just part of their process.

MT Domains, you are exactly correct!

Your original question is answered as follows, the display you show says you are the current leading winner on the auction for $60. By the way, this means you were the FIRST one to place a backorder on this domain. But, since other people also placed a backorder, there is now an auction.

If no other backorders had been placed, then the domain would have been awarded to you directly without an auction.

As MT Domains points out, you can see the list of bidders allowed to participate in the auction by clicking through the sequence he described.
