Hi, Tamar from Namecheap here. This is not a practice we partake in as you can read by the comments. Please share the domain in question via DM (I use the same name on reddit if that helps). My guess is our service reported it accidentally as available due to a technical miscommunication with the registry but it was already registered. However, I would need to know the domain to do that. Otherwise, we can open an investigation into what would've happened but it is not in our interests to do this for a number of reasons. I would like to see what occurred though, so please be in touch.

thanks, will dm you. do you explicitly state its a practice you do not engage in anywhere other than the comments here? if so it would greatly help folks like myself if it was an error of some kind. the whois record showed it registered after my search, so i dont think a misreporting makes sense. if its a mistake that would be cool, obviously incredibly suspect which led me to read up on it and i found similar stories from others
