How long after winning a Pool auction...

007 · Oct 14, 2006

How long do I have to wait after winning a Pool auction before I get the domain? I just won an auction but I haven't received any emails yet.

I don't use Pool a lot so maybe somebody can shed some light on this?

Thanks!

In my experience it has taken 3-4 days typically before receiving confirmation and set-up info from Pool.

Most recently, with the case of .mobi, it took at least a week and they were having difficulties with credit card processing.

Ok cool. I was worried at first because the auction didn't show up anymore and it didn't show up in successful backorders. I am positive I won though because nobody placed any bids in the last 5 minutes, and my high bid was definitely higher than the second highest at the time it ended.

Well I got control of the domain today and it even went to a good registrar with an easy to use domain management system.

I know people say bad things about Pool but when it comes down to it, they are the best as far as I am concerned. I had this domain in particular on backorder at a few other sites as well including SnapNames.

Pool got it obviously. I wish I could have got it for the $60 it used to be (before the auction system) but I'm just glad to have won and received the domain quickly. I'm in a very good mood right now. :-D
