Hi there,
Are you speaking of thegrapevinescoop.com?
Do you want to use the domain here or somewhere else?
If you want to use it on a WordPress.com site, our WordPress.com Pro plan is required. So in that case, please buy a new Pro plan at Upgrades ->Plans and let us know here once you’ve done that, and we can restore the domain.
If you want to use it somewhere else, the simplest option is just to wait. In this case the registry will release the domain again in a few more days, and you should be able to register it as a new domain, directly with the provider where you want to use it by the weekend.
We can also still restore it for you, but you won’t be able to transfer it away from us until you’ve owned it for at least 60 days. If you prefer this option, we can send you a link to pay for the domain again, as your original payment has already been refunded.
Let us know which option you prefer.

Hi,
I guess I will wait for a few days and decide how to go ahead.
May I know how many days it usually takes to release the domain? -
It depends on where in its lifecycle the domain was cancelled.
In your case, you cancelled it within the first 96 hours, so it should be released five days after the original registration date. You registered on 2 May, so the domain should be released by 7/8 May.
Note I say “should”, as we don’t control this process, so it’s not guaranteed. But exceptions to this process are very rare :)
