Domain name "reserved" in all registrar, but available in one

[Steven]

It seems like one of the domain that I like seems to be available in dotster.com, but are unavailable due to the name being reserved in other registrar.
I haven't registered the domain because of the what if situation.
What if I register it in dotster.com only to find out that I've spent my money and no domain is registered?

Do you think that maybe it's a minor error just like when I thought some premium .tv was available in other registrar?

Dotster won't charge you anything if you don't get the domain. Even when they do, they will refund your money. The best way to know whether the domain your trying to reg. is available go find out in whois.

Thank you
I decided not to register because it would probably be a waste of their time and mine.
