I dont see what the problem is. People win an auction, they are sent the invoice – pay the damn invoice! A $10 fee isnt a deterrent in the least… Either pay the $20,000 or pay a $10 fee? Please. A DETERRENT would be a 10% penalty plus the non-payer’s name being placed on a public website for everyone to see. What part of “violation” of terms do people just not get?

Sounds more like a problem with people feeling they can do whatever they wish, nothing more.

Hi recently I started a bidd with namejet.com for a florwership related domain name.

I was the only bidder during the barkorder status, starting the bid an “appear” 4 bidders.

The bidd begins today and the prices only high 20 box.

My strategy is simply: dont play the Namejet game to push and push the price.

In the last 30 mins of finish the bid i push for my highgest bid that i can pay and thats all.

If I dont win, accept lost the domain, if the higher bidder dont pay and the domain y re auctioned I simply not pay anymore.

In the proccess if I see something illegal or dirty of the side of namejet y will post the results and my opinion. Including if “their system” rejects my credit card for any cause.

I will document my case, including the using a video.

I too am in the same situation as Ahmed. Its really frustrating to win an auction, get a notification that the credit card was billedd successfully and then all of the sudden you get an email saying your account is disabled and that the domain will be auctioned again… In my case too they did not try to make contact before just closing the account. I hope it will be solved, but so far this is a very disappointing first meet with namejet…

Good news, i have to tell everyone about

I have to say first that i was desperate with almost no hope.

Thanks to Michael H. Berkens (MHD) who didn’t only direct me to NameJet CEO but also took the initiative to contact him on my behalf. I was surprised to receive an email from NameJet CEO only 2 hours after my post here.

During the last 24 hours Steve Brown worked hand-on-hand with us to solve our problem. We verified the account and got the domain back.

I really can’t thank both Michael or Steve enough. Wishing you all the best and success.
