.me Domain is On Sale, But Will GoDaddy Swipe the Good Ones?

I sure hope not. I’m not-so-patiently waiting to process my order and have been for about 30 minutes now. Have I reason to worry? Well, it was not so long ago that a VP at GoDaddy was caught bidding against prospective buyers of highly-desired domain names on GoDaddy’s own auction site. Don’t let me down again, GoDaddy.

    So did you finally got your domains?

    I bought two, the order is processed (paypal send the money) but still they are displayed as free to register, plus they are not in my control panel…..

  3. oh man. My order processed as well and now that I look, the domains are still listed as available too. Smells like another GoDaddy scam. Let’s wait and see…. Anyone else?

    Sounds like trouble….

    A few friends tolled me the same thing happened to them as well.

    But I don’t think it’s a scam. They just have serious problems with their infrastracture. So let’s see who will get the domains now….
