Domain name still unavailable
-
I made a wordpress account yesterday and bought a domain name with wordpress. I changed my mind and canceled my purchase since I had 2 days to cancel and get a refund. However, right after, I tried purchasing the same domain name with another website, but the system had informed me that the domain name is unavailable.
How much time does it take for it to be completely off wordpress?
Thanks.

There isn’t single URL posted into the original post you made.
bought a domain name
Which one?
This is a free blog on a .wordpress.com sub domain that has been deleted:
thedailyfalafel.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.Deleting a blog URL is permanent and irreversible http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ as deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

The domain that was purchased was http://www.thedailyfalafel.com, but I canceled my purchase and the custom domain name was deleted, too. I just cannot purchase it again on a different website as it tells me that it’s “unavailable”. My question is how long will it remain “unavailable” before I can purchase this domain name again. Basically, I do not want to register another .wordpress.com blog.

I don’t have an answer to that because the domain name registrar who owns that domain can do exactly what they wish to with it. They can auction it off. They can sit on it and not sell it. They can sell it to a domain name squatter. And that is why canceling the purchase was not a bright thing to do.

I am the owner of the both domain names… I owned the domain name registrar. The domain name was deleted and 1 minute later I went to buy it again from a different website…
