Namejet backorder

[Salmon]

I have backordered a domain xxxx.com in Namejet's Pre-release section, just before the "Backorder By" time(about 3 min before that time, I asure that). And I was the only bidder.
But 3 min later, the backorder type became "Wish List". I think the domain should be acquired by me.

I am totally confused. Anyone can tell me why this happened? Thanks

Possibly re-claimed by the registrant at the last minute.

Yea that happened to me yesterday. Registrant picked it up just a few minutes before it became available again and regged it for a year.

If you were the only bidder, it takes 1 day for it to show you were the winner. So today, if it was not renewed, you will likely get an email from NJ.

If the domain went into your "wish list," it is my understanding that you did not win the domain, that perhaps it was reclaimed by the registrant at the last minute.

You could also use the Registry, which will likely tell you if the domain was renewed by looking at the dns http://registrar.verisign-grs.com/whois/

I also hate to point this out - but NameJet sometimes is a bit slow to update. The registrant might have renewed the domain days earlier, but it simply did not reflect at NameJet until after the domain should have been captured or sent to auction.

I was the only bidder.
But it was renewed.

Eric, This info doesn't tell anybody if the domain was renewed. By looking at this whois info, would tell me the domain is currently in Auto Renew period. Which is really "expired status".

How do you tell that the domain is currently in Auto Renew period?
Thanks Jamie

Me Too

The same thing happened to me. I had put in my $69 bid the day before the deadline of yesterday. Also, I was the only bidder. The domain is now showing the same whois as before, renewed 2010. It also showing the same pendingrenalordeleltion info as before the deadline, and my namejet account shows the domain on my "wish list."

I submitted a support ticket to namejet. To this day, I have never understood how a business can build a site and not define their unique terms, like "wish list," with a link so that every time that term appears in their site the user can click on it to see just what they mean by it.

UPDATE:

That was quick. Read on:

Dear NameJet Customer:

Congratulations you successfully won a domain auction.

The next step is for NameJet to add the name to the appropriate account for you to manage at the sponsoring registrar. This can take up to 3 business days, but is typically much faster. You will receive an email from the sponsoring registrar with login and account information at that time.

UPDATE:

I just received this reply from NJ Support"

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Technical Support. I'll be happy to answer your questions.

Sometimes when our system is processing a name, and the status is unknown, it shows up in the wish list. With that said, you did win the domain **********, and we have received payment for it.
You should be receiving an email from the sponsoring registrar within the next 72 hours, who will provide you with login information for the account.

I hope this has clarified the process for you. If you have any additional questions regarding this matter, please let us know.

Thank you for choosing us as your domain name registrar, we appreciate your business.

Best Regards,


Ben H.

Thank you Namejet. I would like to suggest to them that they link the above explanation to their phrase "wish list." Had they done this, I could have clicked on "wish list" and understood the process.

That's usually a good indication of it's status by looking at the name servers.
