Hi everyone, I have paid some domain name backorder request but when I go to my backorder request it reads "failed" why is this happening?? I'm doing something wrong??

I am also facing the same problem as well on my side.

"failed" mean Dynadot fail to acquire that domain name when it is drop. It has garbed by another registrar but not Dynadot

Hi thanks for asking, this is how it works: whenever you place a backorder request we will try to “catch” it before it gets released to public, if we are successful and you were the only person to place that request the domain will go to you. If more users placed backorder request for the same domain and we successfully caught it, a backorder auction will start. Please bear in mind that there are no guaranties that the domain will be caught, which has happened with your request and that’s why the status is “failed”.
