The process of buying domains is broken. I bought one domain via @Sedo on Oct 30 that I'm pretty sure wasn't going to be delivered b/c it was developed. Still no refund. I bought another domain via @GoDaddy on Oct 31 that hasn't been delivered yet. Obviously not fast transfer. Not even sure I'll get it. Imagine if you knew nothing about the industry how frustrating and dirty the industry would appear.
