You seem like you are supportive of bad faith sales which surprises me. The $31 is silly and everyone agrees it should be refunded. After that, OP tried to buy something listed for sale at a price and the company he tried to buy it from couldn't/didn't honor their quoted price and caused the price to go up more than double. You've been clear that you don't think they have any _obligation_ to the OP. Do you think good faith negotiation is not a worthwhile thing in general or is there something specific about this scenario I'm missing? Is this a pedantic fight about the meaning of "owe"?

NameCheap is just the middleman not the seller. They are listing a domain being sold by a third party which did not honor the sale. That third party increased the price. Is this a pedantic fight about the meaning of "owe"? No, neither NameCheap nor the seller owe the OP anything. It comes down to the way contract law works.
