Backorder Workflow
- Submit your backorder with your contact details and a starting bid of at least $50.
- We run live WHOIS and eligibility checks, then place your order into the dropcatch queue.
- We email your confirmation, payment details, and any next-step auction instructions if multiple backorders exist.

Multi-step formSerious requests only
You pay $50 USD only if we successfully catch the name for you. New accounts often pay a $10 non-refundable deposit first; if you win the name, that $10 is credited toward the $50. This is not a free look-up service — see backorder terms. If two or more people book the same domain, it goes to a private auction; your starting bid (step 2, minimum $50) is how we rank bidders — highest starting bid is the top bidder / first bid in that auction.
Backorder terms — read before you book
Placing a backorder is a commercial commitment. If you are unsure you want the name, or you are “just browsing,” do not submit a request.
Cancellations, refunds, and unwanted backorders
Backorders cannot be cancelled after you submit. We allocate resources immediately. There are no refunds for change of mind, duplicate requests, or deciding you no longer want the domain.
Unpaid invoices breach our terms. We may ban you from the platform and refuse future business.
Catch fee, new-user deposit, and starting bids
The $50 USD catch fee is due only when we successfully register the .st domain for you. It is not a generic “booking tax” on failed attempts.
We may take a $10 non-refundable deposit on new-user orders. If you complete the purchase after a successful catch, that $10 is applied toward the $50. If you refuse the name after we have allocated work, the deposit is forfeited (it does not roll over as store credit).
Your starting bid must be whole dollars, minimum $50. If two or more clients hold an active backorder on the same domain, we move the name into a private auction. The highest starting bid is the lead bidder / first bid in that auction; other rules may still apply and we will email you if you are affected.
Forfeited names and unpaid balances
If you do not pay in full for a domain you committed to, or you abandon an allocated name after invoicing, that asset may be treated as forfeited.
Unpaid or forfeited domains may become property of Dropcatch.st. We may offer them in a private sale or auction and retain proceeds to offset losses, fees, and enforcement. You will not receive credit or payout from those sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the $50 cover?
$50 USD is the price for a successful catch — you are not charged that full amount merely for submitting a request. It covers registry execution, transfer preparation, and the risk we take when we prioritize your drop.
How is payment collected?
Invoices are issued through PayPal for speed, buyer protection, and auditability. You receive the invoice details by email once your request is confirmed.
Two or more backorders on the same domain
When two or more qualified backorders exist for the same .st name, we place the domain into a private auction. Your starting bid (minimum $50, whole dollars) sets priority: the highest starting bid is the lead bidder and holds the first bid in that process. We email everyone involved with next steps.
