[kev]

Hi there,

Has anyone managed to get any names from go daddy? Also, have they started taking normal regs for .eu's and have people received any refunds yet?

Thanks

[jamesau]

None of the promos worked when I hand registered the three domains. Sucked.

Does that make any sense to anyone at all? You would think a pre-registered domain would get priority on processing the order no???

Absolutely PATHETIC!!!

I have emailed support today to request the refund of money taken for names showing as available which infact were already taken. The others in pending that had been refused .... I will just have to wait and see in June. Not that I hold up much hope :td:

Back to .com

**copied from another post I made in a different thread**

After finding some of my new regs are still in pending and will be til June I found the best way to check names is by the eurid whois. It will say if the name is in a pending state to be re-released in June or if it is really available NOW

Lame Reply By Godaddy

Hi all - I just received an email from Godaddy regarding my request for a full refund.

I had previously explained that the domains now showing they are taken if I check on the GoDaddy site & that eurids whois shows them as taken also.

This is GoDaddy's Lame reply for my request for a full refund.

"Thank you for contacting customer service. Your domains still appear to
be in a pending status. If we are unable to register them, they will be
refunded."

I can only assume they are doing this to make lots of interest of our money as previously suspected :td:

I've sent a reply so I will let you know what happens

Did anyone else receive a Full Refund yet ???

It's amazing that Bob Parsons would speak out so publically against the .eu registry and the corrupted process. I'm not saying he's wrong about anything he said; I just think it takes some big ones to put yourself out there with all these criticisms when your own company screwed the pooch on this so badly as well.

The title of his article on his blog is...

"The .EU landrush fiasco. A bumbling registry allows Europe's very own domain name to be highjacked!"

Ok Bob, I won't disagree with that article, but now how about writing another article titled something like this...

"The GODADDY .EU landrush fiasco. A bumbling REGISTRAR allows all it's customers submitted domains to go unprocessed."

I want my refund now!!! But still no luck! Give back my money ffs!!

 

[Michelle]

I have just received this email from gd


Thank you for contacting customer support.

As the land rush period has started and the registry is very active please allow 3-5 business days for the registrations to fail. When this occurs you will be automatically refunded.

Regards,
Todd P.

Thanks Mellowmasher - Any word whether they are keeping back a processing fee for the wonderful job they did ?

[Damion]

That is good news. Hopefully we will get refunded in 3 to 5 business days.

 

[WhiteWebServices]

please allow 3-5 business days for the registrations to fail

They're confident in the quality of their service, then!
