    I had this one once. and all we did was wait it will be locked for up to 35 days depending. but make sure you keep checking on it every day cause once it becomes available it could be bought up.

    Theres nothing you can do unless you pay money. Just wait.

    Hello, you should wait about 45 days. Today your domain is like a zombie, no one controls it, excepting the one who created it (namebargain), wait that time and backorder it now and please change of domain company, no good service!!

    Namebargain.com appears to be a “reseller” for an actual domain registration company (called a “registrar”). Namebargain’s legal fine prints tell me they’re reselling for Register.com, but the detail “extended RGP” tells me they once did so for Enom.

    If you go to iwhois.com, type the domain name on the search bar, hit Lookup, and it returns a search result, take note of the line “Registrar”. Contact Register.com if it says “Register.com”, or Enom if it says “Enom.com”.

    Chances are the domain name’s with Enom because it’s on Extended RGP like you said. That means you’ll have to deal with Enom about it.

    Unfortunately Enom can let go of any domain name anytime they see fit. You can probably complain to ICANN (www.icann.org), but I doubt it’ll do any good.

    If the domain name’s that important to you, I suggest you bite the bullet and chalk up the fees. Then make up for the fees based on how you intend to use the domain name.

    Good luck on making the right decision.
