I love the way you are so quick to say it is the cost of doing business when
it is the RSP who is stuck with the cost. I don't see you offering for
OpenSRS to share the cost in anyway, such as refunding the $4.00 OpenSRS
makes on each domain name.
Since the RSP paid OpenSRS for the domain, OpenSRS should either return the
domain to the control to the RSP or refund the money.
What the RSP does is the domain is frankly none of OpenSRS's business,
whether it is to use it, offer it for resale or just let it stay on the
books until it expires.
This attitude is why we now register all our new domains with another
Registrar and plan on moving the domains we have with OpenSRS to this other
Registrar as the current registration expires.
Which is a shame. At one time OpenSRS was a leader in this industry.

It's the cost of doing business. This may not be the best analogy but...
"Customer walks into store. Customer purchases subscription to lewd
magazines with credit card. Customer leaves store. One magazine gets
delivered to PO box. Card bounces. Subscription cancelled"
Do you want the rest of the subscription? Truly? Is it useful to you in
any way shape or form other than a vanity check to show that you beat a
potential "criminal"?
