As for the refund, since I didn't purchase the domain from you, just the $12 fee to use mine here, is that possibly refundable?

However your host needs to have WordPress installed on it - that is usually something that you do yourself - some hosts have a "One Button Install" that usually works.

If you have trouble you will need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you will be using: http://wordpress.org/support/

I'm hoping the second is correct. I have nothing in the blog and the domain's Registrar is GoDaddy. So to verify, I just have to change the name-servers to new host. Correct?

Then they just need to switch pointing of name-servers after they install WordPress.ORG on where ever their host is. Their blog has nothing in it so no Export / Import issues.

After 60 days from the date of purchase, renewal, or nameserver change, you may also transfer your domain to another registrar: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrar

Unfortunately, your domain purchase has passed the 48-hour refund period. We can still cancel it, but it'll take about 90 days for it to return to the open market.

I purchased the domain mapping upgrade w/ my own domain from godaddy. Will switching my domain to self-hosted blog be as easy as changing the name servers being that I purchase the upgrade here? Also, is there any way I can get a refund since I just made the purchase 4 days ago? Thank you.
