This morning I decided to backorder a domain and since I might not have made it back to the computer until tonight I decided to put in my max bid (luckily it was only $150). Now, the domain dropped and instead of the $69 catch fee (since I was the only one who backordered it) I am being billed the $150.

Um, what?????? It looks like greed is taking over BIG time!!

They must have changed it - while it is in backorder it is a BID but when it goes to auction it is a proxy bid. WTF?? Next time I'll stick to the $69. :(

Nothing like getting screwed out of $80 when I probably could have just hand registered it myself. :(

You haven't written it but I would guess that it is NameJet you were using. :) As far as I know, they are the only one using this greedy method.
 
This is the NameJet section. ;)

But yes, I guess I'll know better next time. At least it was only an extra $80.
 
Oops. didnt even see what section it was on. :blush:
 
You are lucky that you didn't make a $x,xxx bid ....:lol:
 
I paid for the domain last evening and it is not in my account yet - neither "my domains" on NJ or in my enom account (who has the domain)...
