Hello, does anyone know any registrar who would offer refunds when canceling a non-premium hand registered .com domain after more than 5 days from registration?
Yes. For example, when submitting domain names to platforms like Brandpa.com. If they accept the name, woohoo, you keep it. If they don't, then you cancel the registration and get a refund. I feel that the standard 5 days window is a bit too narrow for that.For what reason, domain tasting?
Yes, many registrars offer a standard 5 days period for cancelation and refund. I was wondering if there is someone who offers a longer period.Dynadot offer the feature but it's the limit is 5 days

Well, I did this once with name.com and once with GoDaddy.com All went just fine, I got a refund, no extra charges, no warnings. I'm not planning to abuse this function, just use it once in a while and make sure to keep some of the names so I remain their paying client.To be honest I wouldn't bother. Registrars will just ban you after you abuse that too much. And the one I have tried it with for a 1 time refund on a name charged me a fee to cancel. Not worth the headache.
Especially if all you're doing is submitting to Brandpa it's a pointless endeavor imo.
Well, now you do Just use it wisely.This information is quite interesting to know...for example i didn't about the refund process...
Thank you for the advice It was worth asking, imho.no
my advice: if you aren't' confident enough finding and registering names without them being accepted at a marketplace than i would take some time, do some research and get to know the industry well enough before you spend your money.
Thanks for sharing your experience and for the tip! Will keep it in mindEvery Registrar's policy is different. GoDaddy seem to be the most generous. But I think every registrar is going to balk at bulk deletions (I would say). So you would need to ask your registrar of choice what their policy is. For example. Dynadot use a quota system for each TLD. So if you fall within their quota you would think you are OK. But for .com domains I tried to get a refund about mid-month, and their quota was already gone. So one tip would be to request refunds early in the month. Difficult to do if you registered the domains more than 5 days before the end of the month

Thank you, this is very usefulThe 5 days is the timespace registry gives to registrars for grace deletion. It means that for 5 days registrar is not charged for the domain, so can delete it.
So is impossible to "grace" delete a domain after 5 days , you can delete and not charged back as registrar will pay the registry for it anyway.
Dynadot has the most efficient system for grace deletions, can delete most of cctlds without quota with $1 deletion fee and gtlds with $1 fee also if they are ok with the quota.
Well, at GoDaddy and Name.com you can get a refund for your domain within 5 days from registrations without any fees (at Dynadot you have to pay $3 deletion fee) and any "wait lists".Current rate for grace deletion at Dynadot can be checked here,it is updated in real time
Sorry to necro this thread but got to know, is there a list of PDR resellers? Visited the PDR (PublicDomainRegistry.com right?) site itself but no partner list whatsoever.PDR resellers offers 4 day grace deletion for $1 charge.
Almost every registrar offers this but there are limits as all registrars have specific limits to registration ratio of deleted domains. No one provides more than 5 days window.
You can submit unregistered domains to squadhelp and if they accept them, you can either register yourself or let them register to you. In the latter case they will give you a percentage of the sale if the domain get sold.Well, I did this once with name.com and once with GoDaddy.com All went just fine, I got a refund, no extra charges, no warnings.

Also, I work in a field of branding so after completing some projects I am left with large lists of unregistered .com domain names available for hand registration. I check requests threads in this forum once in a while, (because I have registered some domain names that I believe are valuable) and sometimes I believe I have a right name, but it just lies there in one of my large lists unregistered so I can't offer it
You don't believe in Brandpa.com, that's fine. I have a portfolio of domain names on another platform similar to Brandpa.com. I averagely sell one domain name a month there so for me it's worth it to expand my portfolio there.
How many domains do you have in the portfolio? if you have 100 domains, that is 12% sell through rate a year which is god level great.Well, I did this once with name.com and once with GoDaddy.com All went just fine, I got a refund, no extra charges, no warnings.
