warning If you intend to use Domain Agents

I have the opposite problem. I'm trying to buy a domain but whatever agent I use doesn't take the time to contact the owner. The name I wanted was held by one of those sites (actually it was domainagents) that charges $20 ($19.95) to contact the owner with any offer of $20 or more. So I...

Which Escrow service is better for high cost domain sales? Dan vs. Escrow.com compared

Just found out that I cannot use Sedo for a transfer service. Sedo is based in Germany and there are limitations to their ability to do business in the US. from Sedo: Unfortunately, as the seller’s Sedo account is based in the state ----- we are not able to read in the transaction. ------ is...

alert I got scammed while helping

Same thing almost happened to me when I tried to sell a pair of bicycles on EBay. The scammer FedExed a check from a local law firm way in excess of the price. Then they wanted me to remit the excess via some online instant payment method. But bank checks can take 2 weeks or more to clear...

To close the loop, a friend helped me to get the domain that I was seeking. It ended up costing me a bit but probably way below the reseller price!

What's wrong with Escrow?

I used Escrow as as 1st time buyer for a high-level .com. It took a little while but I'm happy for their thoroughness. I did contact customer support & they were prompt & helpful. I did get the added service option.

question Is it typical to split the escrow or domain transfer costs?

Thanks Bannen. This is the path I'm going to take. Initiating the transfer and splitting the commission and we'll see what happens. Sedo's rate is 3% and not publishing the transaction adds zero to that which is what I've requested. Obviously, I'd like the seller to pay half but won't kill...

Okay thanks. That seemed the conventional thing to do. It wasn't bought on the forum but I approached the owner and made the offer.

question Is it typical to split the escrow or domain transfer costs?

I just agreed to buy a domain for a four-figure price. We didn't discuss the escrow costs. Is it customary for the seller to pay these or for the buyer and seller to split these costs? We haven't discussed this other than we may be using Sedo as the transfer/escrow agent.

What about Sedo? Their escrow service is 3% for domains not bought thru them.

warning If you intend to use Domain Agents

I have not checked the many sales platforms but will do so now. I did use whois and it's a private registration but lists the state. GoDaddy website evaluator places a value of $7K but that is probably low. I thought my $8K offer was good enough to get a response. The owner has had it for a...
