All I know is that Namecheap isn't a one night stand company. If you can't post screenshots of them asking you to pay $210 for the domain then you are nothing but a loudmouth. The only reason they would deny you the domain renewal is if you've never verified your contact details or if your contact details are not German as per .de domain requirements. It is also possible that your domain went into the redemption status for which they will obviously charge much more but that is your fault and not theirs. There is no other reason for them to deny you renewal and if you're genuine you could report and sue them and then claim your domain by other means but I doubt your claim.
You didn't answer my question at all. Do you think what they did is fine?
Again: They let me register the domain and the hosting plan, then refunded the domain after two minutes. If it was not available for renewal or went into redemption, why would they let me renew it in the first place? Either their system is broken or it was on purpose.
It seems like you are clearly on their side, like you are working for them somehow? After everything they have done? Again: Do you think it is legit what they did? And who are you to call me a "loudmouth" and say I should be charged more?
I don't know how someone can make statements like this.
Oh and by the way: Just the fact their message on the support ticket and the message they provided on PayPal are so different shows me how full of shit they are. Sending me a message per ticket like "If you don't close the dispute we will charge you even more money!!!!!!" and on Paypal like "oh, here are your options:"
Ridiculous....and here we are: Fucking SilentDreamer thinks it is okay to scam people
EDIT: And yes, I get pretty mad when this company tries to scam me or other people. It is so fucking obvious. Just alone from the screenshots I provided Paypal this case is like 100%. This shit happens when you let a bunch of russians handle customer support. Its not customer driven at all.
They can CLEARLY see in their system what went wrong, when I messaged them, when I asked for cancellation of the hosting plan etc. and they STILL REFUSE to give a refund. What the heck? Its such a obvious scam
