Another swipe at domain tasting

Domain Refunds

I have a question.

Supposedly, there is this domain that I wasn't supposed to renew. I thought the auto-renew was off by December 2008 but when March 2009 arrived, they still sent me an invoice. I asked 1&1 (the Domain Registrar) regarding this and they gave me another set of instructions on how to remove the domain on the system. I thought by then, I won't be debited. Now, they're still charging me. :( I emailed them too many times and they only replied once, telling me that the domain is not refundable.

Personally, I find it unfair because it wasn't my fault that their site wasn't user friendly. I mean, I thought I already turned the auto-renewal off when I followed the email they sent me last December. :| Then I followed the new email before the payment was even sent. :(

What shall I do?

I dont see why you should

I dont see why you should even be able to be get refund for the domains you purchased, you cant just buy it and its not selling, then get a refund for it.

I don't see any influence on

I don't see any influence on domain parking, as these are two very separate groups. Companies/individuals investing in domain names and parking them for future reselling do not ask for them to be refunded. They pay the full price and expect to hold onto them for years if needed until a buyer is found that can pay the right price. Domain tasters on the other hand just register it for a few days, put ads on it, and before the 5 day period is over return it. It is a huge number game, but it seems now that the ICANN is taking the right measures to curb on this.
