can they sue me or something or is it legal to have this domain an not own paypal?

you just wasted money on all you own, they're all trademark names, they worked and paid for that name, market their brand and you took over. think about it.

I understand that these names are trademarked by the companies, but why was i able to buy them than? I am sorry i have never bought any domains and am not sure what type of doamins are good for the re-sell market, what should i look for in buying a domain?

yeah, unfortunately for your first purchases' a hard lesson... all trademark names. Wouldn't be surprised if your get a C&D letter, since your parking them... Which is making money off of their name - or worse is trying to sell it to them for a profit. Then your intentions are "bad faith". it looks like you went pretty far to find these names, i.e. the .com.ag, .org.tw - you were able to buy simply because they were available, and the respective TM owners just didn't bother to reg them.

So here's how this works - your best bet is to give the names to the rightful owners.

If you choose not to do so, they can open a case with the WIPO to get your name from you. That will cost them $1500 to do. - You'll be out your reg fee.

Or you could be professional about it, and give them then names without them having to file a complaint and kindly ask for your reg fee. Don't ask for your reg fee in "return" - again looks like your trying to sell. Just be professional.

Here is the list from today of domains that had to be handed over because of TM infringements:

holidayinnvacationclub.com
frigidairefilters.com
sonytelevision.com
bunnybridget.com
misterplayboy.com
msplayboy.com
playboybaby.com
playboytalentscout.com
playbun.com
playgirlnextdoor.com
pose4playboy.com
cirruscard.com

If your new to the domainer game, my advice is to take it slow. Don't get caught up in TM domain names. Nobody but the TM owner wants them, and you'll just end up being out your reg fee's.
