I guess there's not much I can do but complain, get a refund and call out this person so no others get caught up in his nonsense. I bought a domain at GoDaddy, BIN on 9/2/17. I noticed it was also listed at Uniregistry but Whois said GoDaddy therefore I purchased it there.
Waited several days until Godaddy told me to email the seller for transfer. It got a bit confusing after that.
My email:
Hi,
I purchased this domain from GoDaddy where you had it listed for $XXX.00. It's been paid for so can you push it to my GoDaddy account? It was purchased several days ago, GoDaddy has advised for me to email you.
Seller:
Hi,
I have already let it free for transfer and I'm waiting for further instructions from Uniregistry.
I passed the code to them and they said that they would conclude the transfer by september 10.
Is that all right?
Me:
That will be fine or you can always push it in to my Uni account too.
(I'm confused with the above statement because it was at Godaddy but UNI name servers.)
Seller:
Hi, I asket Uniregistry about the tranfer and they said it wil complete in
two days.
Seller Today:
Hi, are you the same one who bought (domain here) through UNIREGISTRY?
Me Today:
I bought and paid for the domain through GoDaddy only and not Uniregistry. It was purchased 8 days ago or more.
Seller Today:
Sorry, but I'all have to call off the sale, because at the same day, someone in Uniregistry had purchased the same
domain too.
Godaddy should have warned you.
At the same day I sent Uniregistry the auth code.
I'm going to call of the sale at Uniregistry too.
Me Today:
No one purchased the domain at UNI as it has showed in their system for-sale until today. If they did then they purchased it after me. I paid for the domain at GoDaddy on the 2nd. and if you don't transfer to my GoDaddy account I will report you to GoDaddy as not abiding by their terms and conditions. This is not good business and you need to stick to your agreement.
Seller goes silent, my final email:
I have filed a complaint with GoDaddy per this domain and auction. Before I get very vocal with you not wanting to stand behind our deal are you sure you don't want to transfer it to my GoDaddy account? The domain is still at GoDaddy, if not you're not honoring your deal which will not help your reputation as a respectable domainer.
You should have taken the sale off of Uniregistry when you were told it sold at GoDaddy on the 2nd..
So now I wait to see what GoDaddy says but I figure there isn't much they can do but ban this person from auctions if he doesn't do the right thing.
What a messed up system but I'm sure I'm not the first this has happened to.
