Escrow.com certainly sounds like a great way to build trust between both parties. Thanks for sharing your perspective as a broker.

Agree. The opening post here indicated the question of whether anyone had been scammed by a broker. Maybe an even more important question now is what brokerages, if any, are supporting full transparency? Are there any brokerages that now offer such reassurances? It seems to be an...

I was wondering whether this expired domain auction is ethically sound? Because, every expired domain is a creative asset of the first person who registered it with a lot of ambition and optimism. Ethically, she/he is the original creator of that name, who actually got the creative right...

Unbelievable - Do a Search of Godaddy Expired Auction Listings for "Coronavirus" names. These names registered at Godaddy in January 2020 are beginning to expire. And guess what? Godaddy is now selling them at expired auction to make $$$ themselves, even though they banned the sale of these...

I recently responded to a NamePros Domains Wanted thread offering a few dozens of names I was liquidating. The potential buyer showed interest and we apparently agreed on a bulk price. I was willing to sell and the other member said he needed a bit more time to confirm purchase. I gave him 24...

The practice of domain auction front running occurs when someone attempts to solicit offers from potential buyers for the purchase of a domain name which the front runner does not own, either in advance of the domain being auctioned, or while a domain auction is taking place. The front runner...

I just happened to type in random characters on the Godaddy domain search bar. Here is the result: Just look at these aspects: Pricing has been changed to per month instead of per year (which is fine) - normal marketing gimmick Look the far right end - Why it's great They justify by saying...

I have seen some celebrity names sell for 4 or 5 figures. And this seems to be a debatable questions: Is it an infringement to sell a celebrity's name or is it ok to sell, since it may not be trademarked? Two questions here: 1) Is it legal? 2) If it is legal, is it ethical?

I just started to transfer my first group of names away from Uniregistry to NameSilo... due to "bait an switch" tactics. When the Director of Registrar Sales at Uniregistry says "Keep in mind, this special pricing is not a 'gotcha' and will stay fixed to your account. Your discount is across...

Is anyone using them anymore? I have a small batch there still and their unethical practices are getting worse!!!! They HATE to lose names, but when they sell and the buyer wants the change (100% of the time) they kick and scream and thwart the process. Besides, wasting LOTS of everyone's...

I was the target of what seems to be a new spam (or a potential scam) method. Someone I didn’t know started an Escrow.com transaction for a domain name that I had never seen before: PJA.com.This seems a good way to bypass any spam filters and get your attention. The spam email came using the...
