I bought a domain on auction General-Motors.com which appears to have Trademark and my post was closed here on dnforum and other members keep telling me remove the domain because it has a TradeMark. So what's next? I can't use it or sell it because of TM? Can someone explain more please? THanks.

What are you confused about? They own that word. You can not use it. You're infringing on their rights.

Well gee wiz, ya think?
Foolish to have paid anything for that domain, let alone "auction" prices.

Delete it. If you can get your purchase money back, cool. If not, you still got off cheap and learned a valuable lesson.
