Bought domain via GoDaddy
-
I bought my domain name through GoDaddy because I thought that was I was supposed to do- but now I have to pay you again??
If I had bought the domain via wordpress, I wouldn’t have had to pay twice? Are you affiliated with GoDaddy?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Wild West Domains is something with Godaddy & Wild West handles all the WordPress.COM domain name registrations
No you don’t need to pay twice – you just need to buy domain mapping – see below (but remember to also renew your domain name next year with Godaddy)

I thought WordPress was instructing me to buy the domain name via GoDaddy by linking to their site to check if the domain was available

Domain mapping would have been part of the cost – but you would not have saved the $ 13.- / year – it would have been included in the Registration costs ( $ 5.- / year registration + $ 13.- / year domain mapping and you would have been charged $ 18.- / year)
Sorry I don’t know how the linking during registration works but sounds like they might have done a “whois” to check to see if the domain name was available
I will flag this for the staff to give you a more complete explanation of the registration process
