dec 3rd: you try to register the domain but your credit card fails authorization and namewinner warn you of the fact in the screenshot you posted. the name is therefore not paid for so they do not complete the registration on it.

So it seems that because of a problem with your credit card, they gave the name to someone else. They reserve the right to do that in the registration agreement.

Stuff - I guess the main fault of NW is their CC processing. I occasionally learned that they would not accept my valid VISA card anymore, just because it is issued in Eastern Europe with no AVS (address verification system) available. It seems they did not accept your valid card because of the same reason.
If they were cared about customers, they might bother to check
what is REAL reason of rejected purchase and either process it manually (requesting you to fax them some paperwork and the card image) or at least they had to contact you for alternative payment method.
Instead, they decided to get their money ASAP and thought - Ah! We have namewinner system! A good luck for us! Are there any bids on that domain? and there were bids..
So I guess you would NOT get this domain .
NW might at least thank you for forcing their slow system to register a domain with NW-bids on it.
If XXX registrar is used by some drop-catching system, this system can not and would never guarantee that the domain regged with XXX registrar belongs to this drop-catching system (even if the drop-catching system added it into their reg. query).
Each registrar can serve many customers at the same time...

NameWinner should let one know if a credit card fails, instead of just giving the name to someone else. Sometimes the credit card companies will decline, as they think it might be a fraudulent transaction (e.g. if the amount is higher than usual from that merchant, or if one had a lot of recent activity, etc.). Usually a quick telephone call solves things.
Giving the name to someone else, instead of letting the person arrange alternate payment (e.g. give a different card) seems very wrong to me.
