  Maybe the .com version is already taken.

  You normally need to cancel the .com domain within 2 days to get a refund, so I wouldn’t delay doing that.

  I have flagged for staff attention so they can see why the wrong type is being created.

  As notawoodpecker says, it may be that the domain you want to register is not available, and a .org is being suggested instead.

  It doesn’t look like you put through any transactions yet, so just let me know if you do need a refund on an unintentionally purchased domain and I’ll be glad to take a look.
