Can I cancel the domain registration and mapping purchased a few days ago?

  A few days ago, I purchased a domain (jeon-lab.com) and mapping in order to add advertisements on my blog (jeonlab.wordpress.com) but I found that it is not allowed to use Google AdSense and the WordAds, which is believed still being reviewed by WordPress now, may not be approved because of very small traffic on my blog.
  So I think it was waste of money to buy the domain and mapping and wonder if I could cancel my domain registration and mapping and get refund.

  If you don’t want this domain at all, you can cancel it for a full refund if you purchased it within the last 48 hours. Keep in mind that canceling a domain means you may not be able to get it back in the future.

  To cancel the domain, go to Store > Domains in your dashboard. Locate the domain you want to cancel in the list, and click on the Cancel button next to it.

  This cannot be undone, so please follow the on-screen instructions carefully before you confirm the cancellation.

  Thank you, Erica for your quick reply.
  Unfortunately, it was over 48 hours I paid for the domain. I guess that means I can not get refund, right?

  Unfortunately, no. The domain registration is unique, since we go through a domain registrar and refunds are only available within 48 hours. Our other upgrades typically have a 30-day refund policy.

  If you want to add advertising to your site, I’d actually recommend looking into a self-hosted version of WordPress. While you would need to purchase hosting, you can add any types of ads that you’d like to a self-hosted blog, including AdSense. You can learn more about the difference here:

  We have hosting recommendations here:

  And you can use the domain you bought through us with a different site by following this guide:
