Pool.com Fees

[Rob]

What are the fees associated with Pool.com?

Do you have to pay upfront, or only when it catches the domain? And then what - do you transfer it out and into your regfly/enom/godaddy etc, account?

Havent used it before, so need some general tips (as I dont have a credit card I cant register anyway!).

The last time I used it ...

There was like a 60$ fee (They only run your Credit Card to Verify the amount is available) But do not charge unless they get the name .....

I Have not used it recently - Anyone use it lately ?

You will have to second guess if there is someone else within 3 days, and if you are paranoid, chances are high you will bid against yourself just to get into round 2.
