This problem with the .ME registrations is NOT unique to godaddy, it appears to be problems at the .ME WHOIS end where domain names are being shown as available on WHOIS lookups, yet when you then try to register a name, thats only when you find out if its truely available.
Dont blame Godaddy, its "domains.me" who want shooting for not getting their act together and who are causing the problems by not correctly showing which names are actually available.
We have questioned this several times over the last few days and been told on every query that the domains that fail are because they are "premium names" yet they provide no "Definition" of what their premium names are, and these names still today show as available @ www.domains.me
So, if the registrar and their whois cant get it right, what are we all to do?

.ME Registrations
I tried for one .ME registration at GoDaddy this moring during the rush and I got an email confirmation as well as a MasterCard confirmation that my order had been processed. Several hours later I received an email saying the domain had already been registered and my order was declined. I still have not received a refund.
My GoDaddy representative told me they are making no money on these registrations, and are instead just passing on the reigstrar fees from the Dot.ME registrar. I don't know if that is true - that is just what I was told.
