It's not the least bit ridiculous. All normal businesses have to deal with
some amount of sales being fraudulent and uncollectable. There's no reason to
expect that a domain registration business wouldn't have the same problem.
If you want to avoid it, only accept checks and money orders, and do not
register the domain(s) until you've confirmed with the bank that the
funds have cleared. At that point there is no way for the remitter to
call them back. Of course, you're going to have a hard time finding many
customers if you do business this way.

What do you want OpenSRS to do about it? They're certainly not going to
assume the liability or risk for your business dealings with your
customer. That *would* be ridiculous.
