No, sir.So I am crazy for wanting to be paid?
That is what I did. I didn't add staff to the message but I did appeal for help privately. The message was ignored.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.
I wanted to show that I trusted him. I felt uncomfortable asking for the payment first.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.
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.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.

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.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.
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.Well thats not very wise.

What did I learn. I moved my domain name sales to a third party site where this won't happen.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.
Oh dear two threads over a domain/transaction that is obviously so important that hours you all are talking about it.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.
It wasn't less than 20 minutes. It was an hour.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.
So I have to let you all steal domain names to be considered a good person here?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.
Also I asked for this thread to be deleted hours ago.Wasting time for $9 and falsely accusation.

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.So I have to let your all steal domain names to be considered a good person here?
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...I don't know if i missed something here, but how come the OP sent the domain before getting payment?
Nobody appeared to ask that in the first 3 pages of this thread.
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.

Add that to your list of questions. Why did he take a domain name before paying?
You are the one who is outraged and trying to change policy for all future new members. That seems a bit extreme to me.Have a banana and chill out
ooh ooh aah aah eee eee
