Hello
It is difficult for us to assist you without knowing what the domain name is. Would you please tell us so that we can look into this for you?

I’ve tagged this for Staff assistance as it looks like your domain is in the redemption period. You’ll want to read this about what happens when a domain expires on WordPressdotcom. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

In order to recover a domain in the redemption period, the registrar imposes an additional US$80 fee to which you will need to agree before Staff can start the process. Please indicate your agreement to this.

Yes I’ve read that and yes I agree to the $80 fee.

Hi rougelac3,

rougelace.com expired on 2017-02-28 and is currently in the redemption period:

Domain Expiration

I’ve sent a payment request for the redemption fee ($80) and domain costs ($26) to the email address on your account. Once that has been paid, I’ll contact our domain registrar and begin the recovery process.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your help dave2swords and justjennifer!

We’ve received your payment and I’ve contacted our domain registrar — we usually hear back in 1-2 days.

I’ll let you know as soon as I have an update!
