opinion A potential buyer want me to travel to his country.

Hell guys
A strange request from a potential buyer for one of my domain names.
He want me to travel to his country to complete the deal face to face.
I have asked him to use Escrow services but he replied that he is not comfortable with it.
What is your feedback guys?
Thanks for all.

Shame. I live close to LA. Is it a liquid domain? (4L/3L/NNNN/NNNNN)

If, you had someone in the country meet him how would he know if it was you or not?

So - what happened - we have been waiting for weeks!

OP has a perchance for holding people in suspense-- create a thread, leave everyone gasping and then disappear into the thin air.... while he comes back to create another. He has created 2 different threads after this one.

Any yearly (lol) update on this case?

I guess the OP could have all paperwork and US visa done by now

 

[MR Harrist]

dont drop the soap! hahahahaa!


to be honest with you sometime I also get weird reply from outbound! but lucky me, buyer never ask me to go to his country! but lets be honest, do you think its worth to go to USA, just to close the deal ? how many people in here selling domain for lets say 5 figure or even 6 figure need to go to buyer country ?

buyer domain often times are also domainer, or most of them already buy many domain previously! so basically your buyer already know how to buy domain, without have to go his house! so if your buyer ask u to his country! well Don't drop the soap! again, Huahahhaaa!

People here, including the OP, are unable to understand why someone refuses escrow. This is the problem here. There is a streotyped prejudice about the good points of traditional payment methods via escrow.

Payment via banks is the only way and isn't harmful to anyone. Are you sure?

If privacy is very important for you, you avoid making payments that can be traced back to you. This doesn't always make you a scammer or illegal person. You may have valid reasons as I said in my previous post on this thread. If you are very rich, if you are very popular person, you may need privacy in your financial transactions. People may need privacy for countless of reasons. Bitcoin and crypto currencies are very private and can be offered to this buyer. I previously made a post about bitcoin. Now, I explained the reasons.

Would you travel from Jordan to US to sell a domain?

What if you get kidnapped and made to hand over all your domains.

If it's worth, yes. It would be pleasure for me. I like traveling, meeting new people and exploring new places. I would happily travel to the other side of the World for $50k profit, even for $20k profit..

Also I don't find this request weird. Buyer may want to make payment in cash, face to face. What's wrong with this? Don't we use cash to buy or selling something? What's the difference when it comes to domains?

You can buy a car for $50k and pay in cash. You can buy a domain for $50k and pay in cash. There is no difference.

Sounds like he's trying to play you because he's pissed you own the name he wants and feels he deserves. When you show up he may just dissappear and mock you..

Is he paying for your ticket?

Let him know you're a busy man and the sale won't happen then...
He can't be setting all the boundaries...

He needs to prove himself..
Let him give you a legit reason why he can't or won't use escrow?

I doubt this "buyer" would drop a deposit for travel expenses and this can be literally a joke.
Also it is not easy to travel to US. Many countries need visa and Mr. Trump's permission
... and they still can turn you back on the entering US airport.

Why has this old thread re-appeared I wonder ...... LOL did he travel to buyer?

I don't agree. Buyer is not obligated to do what buyer wants except making payment. Buyer is not obligated to prove himself. In fact nobody must be forced to prove identity to buy/sell online. Nobody is obligated to give a legit reason or explanation for not using escrow. Because traditional escrows that use banks, are not a good thing as you are forced to prove identity even for a $100 purchase. There are too many people who hate being forced sharing their personal info. Because once you share your personal info, you can't be sure if your personal info will be kept private and secure. Privacy concerned people are too many and they are not scammers. Seller has to provide solution. The best solution for this problem looks like accepting crypto from this buyer as crypto is very similar to cash. Buyer will not have to share personal info if seller accepts crypto.
