My LLC is in New Jersey.  Believe it or not, some people live in different locations!  Yup.  Some people have two homes.  My credit card billing address is NY address.  This was used for my GoDaddy domain receipt.  But my WHOIS is New Jersey where LLC is registered.

What the heck do you want me to do?  Open a new credit card and hurt my credit score just to renew the domain again and have the domain receipt match the WHOIS?  Actually now I cannot even renew my domain again — it is at the max years!  Can’t renew again even if I wanted to.

The fact Microsoft had to “lock” this thread because so many people dislike the process says something:

Your process is awful — I used to work at Microsoft and have many connections in very high management, and I am complaining to everyone about how awful this experience is.

I cannot believe how ridiculous this process is… you have my EIN, I obviously own the email address on the domain, I freaking paid for another 1 year renewal and wasted money for no reason and showed proof of the receipt, I gave the LLC formation doc.  Your process is bad.  Who designed this mess?

Very foolish because this is actually costing Microsoft money by holding back valid publishers for absolutely zero reason.  This is what happens when companies get too big.  The most basic things are impossible to resolve, nobody cares, and processes become absolutely awful.
