Domain refunded...what it might mean?

[superprogrammer]

I was about to register a domain name so before that I just searched for it in google.com and it landed me on this page

http://www.refunddomains.com/new/com_070219_0144.html
The domain name I want to register is one of the names mentioned on this page
Can someone help me what does refund means?
Thanks

Much of the time the registrar screwed up, and is refunding your money...

If it's not registered, go ahead and register the domain.

:hi:

RefundDomains.com is a site that lists domains that were regged and then dropped within the 5 day "tasting" period.

Type your domain into a Who Is box and it should show as available-
unless it's being "tasted" again.

I don't know why your GoDaddy search sent you to RefundDomains.

You can visit the site here:

Can it also mean that people registered for this name but it was found to be Trademark violation
Asking cause I can see few such names there
Thanks

Yes. I didn't mean to imply that it's only "tasted" domains listed.

Any domain that is regged and then dropped within the 5 day period
is listed.

Typos, Trademark Infringements, Changed your mind, or whatever.

But most are dropped by Tasters.

so we can basically purchase a domain, park it for a few days with a service such as sedo or bodis and if we dont see much traffic within 5 days we can refund it? Is this true?????

Yes it is true, but only at some registrars. At godaddy you call them up and they do it for free. At moniker it's an online system that costs 25 cents a return. many dont' even offer it

you need to pay 40 cents fee now.
