Right, I realize that now. I have won a few domains through NameJet now and I find the management process to be fairly simple. So that's another plus. “some domains have a minimum bid of $1K cause they’ve been bid up from $70 during the pre-release period..”

I sent in a request a few weeks ago and they have not yet implemented it. NamJet doesn’t have Paypal, snap has it. I sent in a request a few weeks ago and they have not yet implemented it.

Pros: *I like the fact that on their home page they feature some of the premium pre-release and deleting domains, and some of the auctions that are closing soon. At this moment in the Pre-Release box I see loansdirect.com, freshwater.com and paycenter.com, all of which are great names. I’m curious to see what sort of bids they will fetch. *I can add domains to a “Watch List” without actually bidding on them (though I don’t see any way to remove them). *There are 81 dot com names at auction right now and most have received few or no bids, perhaps because NameJet is not well known yet. This might be a good opportunity to get some expiring domains at good prices. Cons: *The site is still buggy. I tried three times to back order a Pending Delete name and got the message “No data returned.” Some other functions are buggy as well. *Premium domains have higher starting bids. I notice that the minimum bids for loansdirect.com and freshwater.com are $1,000. *Minimum bid for backorders is $70 - that’s $10 more than Snapnames. *Because most of these names are dropping from Network Solutions, if you win an auction your domain goes into a Network Solutions account; they offer great service and features, but they are one of the more expensive registrars, charging $30 a year for a .com registration. *The domains at auction right now are mostly gambling names.

Seems like a good system, although the required wire transfers over $5,000 could be a problem imo. I agree with you on preferring to to track business expenses on my credit card.
