I made a support ticket in stormpay, and asked them what would happen if someone didnt pay for this auction (I mentioned the amount of sale, his location, etc) I got this reply
Doesnt really tell me much lol


Hello,

If you sell your website through StormPay and the buyer does not make payment you can submit a claim.

After logging into your account, on the left menu bar in the account overview section, click on “Claim Center”. You will then be given simple instructions on how to file your claim. This process will forward your claim directly to our Claims Management Department for immediate action.

Irrespective, StormPay will always investigate and take whatever action is necessary to prevent on-line fraud. It is our goal to ensure that StormPay remains an industry leader in the safe and secure processing of your on-line transactions. Thank you for being a valued StormPay customer.

Ou yeah. Compared to $90K, international call costs look funny, even when talking for hours. I'm not happy to say this, but I must agree that can most likely be a scam.

Well, I have nothing to lose, as he would be required to pay me first.
Probably some brazilian kid that got into his parents stormpay account and thought this would be funny.
Homepage featured auctions on stormpay aint free lol

Actually I can't. I have made no more than $60 in 8 months from selling websites. You are doing VERY VERY well. Congrats!

Just got this Reply from stormpay:

Please provide the auction ID of the seller in question. StormPay's Risk Management will then investigate and potentially terminate the user's account. Unfortunately, we cannot force an auction winner to make a payment, however, their account will be dealt with accordingly.

Poker is red hot, and it has an established player base.
I was only hoping to sell it for maybe $15-$20k but this was an auction purely for publicity, I didnt expect anyone to actually buy it, (and as of right now, they still havent)
Im probably gonna relist it with a lower starting bid, and let the guy Ive been talking to bid for it there.

Will keep everyone posted

Thanks for all your input everyone............Even you TT lol

scam?!

Something in here doesn't smell well, 90k for a not very good domain name and a 1 click template install site front from pokerprofit.com?

(http://www.pokerprofit.com/samples1.phtml)

engineearth: How come all your posts on namepros are about this site?!
engineearth: In case I am wrong, please accept my appologies for this post, but I am seeing too much scam these days and don't trust anyone.

how do we compare different auction place? I have not sold any domain names, but I have used ebay and yahoo selling other stuff. I think ebay is still the best place, yahoo does not sell, how about stormpay? Is it better than yahoo auction?

Question 1) Because I am new here, and this is my only domain besides AcePoker.Biz (I have a post on here abou that too

Comment 2) No need to apologize, the world is full of scum It appears this monkey that bid my auction (And caused my $28 auction listing to end after 6 hours,) is a little kid or something, have heard nothing from him yet.

Yes it is a site built by PokerProfit.com
The main thing that makes it worth something (the domain aint that great, i dont think) is that we have a decent amount of players (92)+ and that we have done some decent advertising of the site (although we are by no means experts at promotion) and of course the free lifetime hosting of the site, $0 cost to run, and it makes a profit each month

Thanks everyone again for your comments

Stormpay is decent. I dont like Ebay because I hate PayPal.
Stormpay has alot of garbage in it though, but it does have some decent sellers with good feedback, etc. Just not as much stuff as ebay.
Also be careful buying items from people on stormpay if they dont have any feedback, are out of the USA, or if the deal seems to good to be true.

Hope this helps!

PS I also hate yahoo auctions.
