  Hi there! It looks like your domain was refunded, when you cancelled it. The refund is paid to the same method that you used to pay originally; so if it was paid via card, it would go to your card, and if it was paid via PayPal it would be in your Paypal account!

  In order to reinstate the domain, we do need to re-request the domain registration cost alone. The cost of a domain ending in .com is stated here:

  I have taken the liberty of preparing the payment form, and it has been sent to the email address associated with this account. Please do let us know as soon as it’s paid, so that we can reinstate the domain for you before it gets fully cancelled.

  I should like to note: as per the rules of ICANN (the authority for domain names: https://icann.org/) a domain must be more than 60 days old before it can be transferred to a new provider. While your domain is less than 60 days old, you can use it with another provider by pointing it to their servers:
