Cheated by Yahoo in domain billing

Sunday, 24 August 2008 13:04 by Yogesh Jagota

Hello Guys,

 I just wanted to tell you all that you must be careful when buying a domain from Yahoo.com. I was using a Yahoo domain which had a billing amount of $9.95. This year (third year) Yahoo automatically increased the billing amount to $34.95 without giving any prior information and even billed the amount. I checked the help service which tells me that I can cancel the service but I will not get any refund at all. Calling the Yahoo customer care is not an option and no email id is provided for the customers to get in touch with Yahoo. If Yahoo has only US numbers and no email ids, why in the name of God should they bill to non US citizen??

I am really disappointed from being cheated in such a fashion from a company which talks about morales and honesty. I am using GoDaddy.com for 2 of my other domains and never had any such issue. It also gives me a simple option not to get auto billed without prior information, a option which I failed to find with Yahoo.com.

 The picture of the billing is attached for all of you to see. I hope nobody else gets cheated in such a way.
