  Hi there, I’ve tagged this thread for Staff assistance. Please note that it looks like your domain is in the redemption period which involves an additional US$80 fee to recover the domain in addition to the domain renewal itself. Please confirm to Staff that you are willing to pay that additional fee so that they can start the process soonest possible.

  Meantime, you’ll want to read https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  Hi @inkypiecesofme, I noticed this domain is also listed under a different account. We can go through the redemption process with that user; are you able to log in as them and confirm here that you’d like to redeem the domain? Or, if you can’t log in as that user, do you want to work with us on account recovery, and then on domain recovery?

  The other option is to allow the redemption process to continue. If the domain is not purchased by someone else, it will eventually be released for new registrations again.

  Hi there,

  Since the domain is currently in redemption with a rough estimate it will take around 80 days to be released.

  Please note that during the redemption phase, domains can be included in expired-domain auctions, where another party can bid on your domain name. If the domain is claimed by someone else in an auction, you will not be able to get it back.
