I bought a domain earlier, which was advertised at £1.50 for the first year but when i got the part wher ei pay, i was charged £5.00 ( full price ) i figured that it must get refuned into your account after wards however i have only be toold now after i palced a complaint that the £1.50 price is only availiable in certain countries. This was not pointed out or displayed during any point of the sale.

Am i right in beliving i can claim compensation of some kind? or file a False Advertising Claim?

    Gotta read the tiny print. With most deals all the stipulations are printed somewhere, it just takes some looking sometimes. Though I bet if you talk it out with them they'll give you something. Most places do. Though it may take a few different people of talking to. Some people wont, then you ask to speak to somebody different...

    No.

    If the company are not based in the EU or USA you may as well whistle for your money.
