Nemecheap are thiefs. See my post on this topic, same story : https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/dont-search-domain-on-namecheap.1193825/post-15966578
I did some research. Search Google for those terms : "namecheap" "cart" "Non-eXistent Domain"
It is called Domain Front Running, and it is a common practice from Namecheap. It is not illegal but they are proven dishonnest.
There are blogs with great diagrams showing the principle :
In fact Namecheap have a % of maximum domains they can front run, so it is why they either register on another registrar, I suppose possibly if the % is to high

You can use this tool https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/whois to do your own whois query on desktop
Exactly, it is what I use

Next time, don't search for your domain with your registrar. You never know if they are recording your searches.
I'm using this free tool to check the availability of domains safely and securely:

Obviously, I would never ever trust this tool, could be a scam. It is registered on the scammy Namecheap, and will trigger bots to still the domain..
For OP, always do a whois on your local machine, it is free, not (really) a third party software (local software provided by Microsoft or in the OS are heavily tested in multiple military grade enterprises), and for sure will not trigger bots.

Don't worry, it's not a scam. My friend made it because he's worried about frontrunning. Yes, it's registered on Namecheap but they have nothing to do with the site. They're only the registrar. No worries about bots because it's protected by Cloudflare.

Is not only with Namecheap, GoDaddy and all companies of EIG does that. Must be avoided and domain should be register the fastest you can.
GoDaddy does this a lot and all companies of GoDaddy aka Endurance Internacional Group (EIG)
Avoid GoDaddy your domain can be stolen by godaddy or register when you are doing a whois to check if is available or not.

Or simply don't use a domain registrar to check if it's available
Sometimes, it's not pulling correct data and shows that it is avails when it isn't
It's super quick to put the blame on something when you feel like your chances are being robbed from you.
But at the end of the day, early bird takes the worm.
Also,
Sorry but no, unless they have a huge as fuck data analytics team with a huge as fuck funding
That isn't possible nor worth the cost whatsoever.
Your searches are not special to them, sorry but not sorry.
You are just a drop in the bucket of the millions if not billions of searches to them.
Like think about it logically for a second, you really gonna put a team of employees to cross check all searches to register them up
Bot it up? Sure, if that's was the case, then they would have already done the same shit we do and brought it all up already and then set up a @Nargil store right in BHW, damn, Nargil prob a godaddy employee spy right
Be in all seriousness, their funding exceeds yours and their tools are most likely better than yours.
Their knowledge in the industry is most likely better than yours
so at the end of the day, if they wanted to, they would of taken it before you even saw it.

Hi,
You saw many posts in Internet about this, is not only me. If a lot of people.
If you said that you only saw 10-15 people saying that, you should be right. But when is a lot of people telling and confirming that, is a little suspicious you don't think so?
Specially from GoDaddy with shady pratices in the market, "abusive" marketing and many things.
Did you know that is not hard to a "bot" forward and do a query to ahrefs, semrush and others similar services to check backlinks and DA/PA checker and doing that automatically like registering by the "results of query" of that services.
Is not hard, common. Specially when the world is already in Machine Learning / A.I that shouldn't hard as you think. You don't need employeers to do it.
A good programmer can do a good bot or automatic service to do it for them. Also GoDaddy sells your data to marketing companies that work with them.
Not so hard as you think. Perhaps one day you will be furious when they take one of your domains that you never imaginate that can happen.
A Good phrase for you indirectly from those shady domain registars.
«a thousand of lies and a good disguise»
«The truth hurts, but lies are worse.»
Your beliefs is upon to you. We should respect, but I like to stay away from GoDaddy.

Godaddy uses bots to outbid users in auction to make buyers pay more for auctioned domains.

I totally believe it when it's godaddy doing that
they have more than enough funds to do that and take any punishment when caught for sure
but namecheap and other smaller ones, i highly doubt it and they can't afford the consequences too.
You speak as if you were a Namecheap employee.
