I recently bought two domains at a registrar for a fairly low price. These domains were priced EXPONENTIALLY higher at other registrars. The domain extensions were of the newer gTLD types and were marked "Premium" at other registrars. Once I plunked down my $30, I received a "paid" invoice and waited for the domains to go active. After a few days, they were still in pending status and still available at other registrars. I sent a support ticket questioning them why and they replied that, because they are Premium domains, they need to send me a new invoice. I am still awaiting the new invoice, but I suspect it will be for the same amount that other registrars are selling it for. I think these domains are owned by someone else already. My question is, is this legal to set a price so that you have to pay to see the real price? I am not concerned about getting my money back because I paid through PayPal, but this practice seems rather deceptive and unethical, if not illegal. This company is ICANN accredited according to ICANN's own page. I'm wondering if this is worthy of making a complaint to them? Thanks.
