SAV Auction Issue: "L" not "I" - please help

[domainsnamer]

Please can I ask for help. Today I bought a domain via SAV auction which clearly had the appearance of beginning with "I", but when the domain arrived it was "L", so instead of spelling Investor.xyz it was Lnvestor.xyz. As can be seen from the screen below it 100% appears as if it is a I, not L. I have written to SAV but so far they are denying any help.
Does anyone know what options I may have for help?
Thks

One should understand that if it is a case of too good to be true, then something fishy.

True... Spot the 'deal' too good to be true:

Did you already pay?
Not sure what your recourse here would be. Did you contact SAV support?

Thanks for the response. Yes it seems they are noticing! Bob Hawkes has also been so incredibly helpful, very humbling. With SAV you have to pre- pay so they take the money immediately. Really unfair. I will not accept the situation, and it is not fair that I try and sell to someone else.

 

[domainsnamer]

hmm wasn't the last one an expired auction? is there a way on sav to tell if owner running auction or if expired name just from listing?

I can't check now. I believe it was a customer sale. Probably the person caught previously?

What will you do if you won't accept the situation?

I got CryptoIndex.com which had an L instead of an I but I only paid reg fee.

Lesson learned.

For any domain where I have bid more than $100, I usually copy and paste into Google just to make sure I am not missing something. There have been times where a letter is missing. I think heathinsurance.com was recently expiring somewhere.

Could Lnvestor be used as a portmanteau of Lword+investor? Maybe throw a 28,888 price tag on it. IMO crazier names have sold for more.

That is exactly what I do. OP - you may have to just eat the reg and then try to sell. You never know - you might get a buyer.

@domainsnamer Have you heard back from SAV?

 

[The Durfer]

shame they dont have delete for credit like dynadot.com. hmmm sorry.

 

[The Durfer]

Dynadot doesn't credit you for winning auctions. Just registrations

still, something better than this, dont you think?

I appreciate that they restrict how often you can auction names so that people can't flood the market constantly with crap names that no one wants. But I think auction winners should be allowed to relist without waiting 60 days so that they can possibly try to sell as soon as the buyer's remorse kicks in.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

So you hover over the name on the auction page it's high lighted in capitals, but not on Ianding page.
One must be very careful before hitting a BlN
See OP name in question. lnvestor

If you hover the name it shows you the cap letters. One must be very careful before placing a bid.

it's not unfair. u have right to sell and people have obligation to open eyes b4 they bid 100..or 2000.

this isn't some scam fake domain that doesnt exist that u should worry to.sell it.

It is a lack of due diligence purchase, supported by greed to get a higher value name at a lower price. One should understand that if it is a case of too good to be true, then something fishy.
Now, SAV.com will not return your money. If you used credit card, you file a dispute with your credit card issuer that your card was used UNAUTHORIZED.
In all sense, it is not a straightforward business, an element of cheating and deception was there in the Auction of this particular name.
Sav.com should also reconsider their decision as an exceptional case (the Seller has cheated the Buyer). But they will say that one's ignorance cannot be an excuse.

This is my point of view.
