I dont know what to do. I registered a domain with my current registrar. I actually registered 3 nwe domains at the same time. They were all available, i added to my cart and then I paid with paypal and it showed up all there in my registrars screen.

back to back I received confirmation from paypal, then an payment has been voided.

A confirmation was sent to me from registrar showing "order failed"

Then registrar sent me a note:
We are sending you this message because you began to register
a domain name(s) and the registration process
was only partially completed.


When I contacted them they said it was registered with another registrar and left it at that. But now I see a company called eNOM has it and I'm reading some very bad things. Could someone help me find out if there is any way that I can have that domain. I didn't think anyone would want it because its such an odd name. It is like they are on my computer I'm afraid to search for domains anymore unless I have the money right then to buy it :(

Wait 6 days from the creation date and do another whois inquiry. It might be tasted and so it might drop. If the creation date changes, it's being tasted. Repeat after another 6 days until it drops. If the creation date stays the same, then it's registered for a whole year.

Was the time stamp for the registration same as your order time? Sometimes, the whois returns erroneous information thinks the domains are available and the order fails when the domains are already registered.
