PLEASE DELETE THREAD

 

[Daniel Owens]

So I am crazy for wanting to be paid?

No, sir.

 

[Daniel Owens]

The best thing to always do is to just add a namepros staff to the message between you and the buyer and resolve it that way. You could open a thread like this but it might just tick-off the potential buyer. Adding staff resolves 90%+ of issues.

The facts show that at 2:11PM EST (about 5 hours ago) the buyer agreed to transfer the domain back to you......

18 minutes later you posted this.....

The buyer was trying to do what was right and said they would, but you seem to have taken it too far, even after he agreed to transfer the domain back.

Why did you push name before a payment? It seems to me you did not want to sell that name at that price and this was your way out. Read all rules of selling before selling again. If you insist on getting paid immediately and upfront before push say so in the auction.

That is what I did. I didn't add staff to the message but I did appeal for help privately. The message was ignored.

I wanted to show that I trusted him. I felt uncomfortable asking for the payment first.

Yeah, that's right. Defend a thief. The buyer pretended to transfer the domain name, and only by going public did he actually transfer. Then after he transferred I tried to get the threads deleted and the mods ignored me.

 

[John Bates]

To you insiders this looks acceptable but I can guarantee you that outsiders reading this would be/are flaggerbasted that this behavior is being defended.

Well thats not very wise. None of this would have happened if you did what most do and require payment first. Since he was unable to pay by PP the transaction would be void without all the drama.

The downside is the OP is not learning anything by reading about how to handle this matter in future and is likely to make many future buyers mad.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't want people to feel like a thief. Therefore I made the transaction with the intention to show my trust.

What did I learn. I moved my domain name sales to a third party site where this won't happen.

Its also in very bad taste and against rules to start multiple duplicate threads over the same $9 bucks. You obviously did not trust him that you sounded the alarm over 9 bucks in what less than 20 minutes.

Oh dear two threads over a domain/transaction that is obviously so important that hours you all are talking about it.

It wasn't less than 20 minutes. It was an hour.

 

[johnn]

Wasting time for $9 and falsely accusation.
I believe many members here (myself include) can send you $9 so we can close this nonsense thread.

So I have to let you all steal domain names to be considered a good person here?

Also I asked for this thread to be deleted hours ago.

In the future don't trust people in advance require payment before domain push as if you do push first and don't get paid you don't trust them.

I don't know if i missed something here, but how come the OP sent the domain before getting payment?

Personally, i think that new members should have to achieve a certain status, before they can sell.

Would help avoid crazy situations like this and all the auction threads where new members haven't bothered to read the rules.

Nobody appeared to ask that in the first 3 pages of this thread.

So the issue with all the new members? What about the other party? Shouldn't the more senior party have 50% responsibility too? Why did he accept before paying? Perhaps he was taking advantage of a new member...
Add that to your list of questions. Why did he take a domain name before paying?

Have a banana and chill out

ooh ooh aah aah eee eee

You would need medical care if you weren't paid for a $100+ domain as I see how worked up you got over thinking you were losing a domain and cheated out of $9

That is why you should lets mods in on your PMs.

They may want to get to bottom of it. They work hard to keep this forum clean.

You are the one who is outraged and trying to change policy for all future new members. That seems a bit extreme to me.
