And how do you usually accept payments?

I want to try Escrow.com <affiliate link removed - armstrong> but may be there another cheaper options to accept payments? (I have reseller account with enom).

And avoid fraudulent orders? It seem that a lot of schemes available, but need advice from thouse who have some experience, who really sold something

I do low end sales for my domains. I use paypal.

Almost everything under $200 people are willing to handle with PayPal if you have a professional site and correspond in a professional manner. Most transactions over $600 end up being escrowed and I do use escrow.com. It is the least expensive and quickest escrow service I know of,and everyone trusts them. You can use afternic and sedo for private sale escrows, but the minimum costs for low priced domains start higher. Escrow.com's staring prices is I think now $25 (up from $15), but I believe afternic is $60 and Sedo is something like $100. The percentages may be better on high profile sales, but I really haven't compared the percentages on those.

Thanks, g0ldy and AdoptableDomains.com,

According to PayPal... I have no such an option in place, where I
am living these days.

Yes, it seems that minimum fee with escrow is $25...
By all means I should make a comparison table, here just some
info from escrow site for beginning...

Escrow Fees And Calculator:
http://www.escrow.com/support/calculator.asp

And thats not all - they charge for every disbursement method exept "Check via regular mail", here info from the calculator page:

Disbursement Method Fee:
Check via regular mail - No charge
Check via overnight courier, U.S. - only $20.00
Check via overnight courier, International - Depend on location
Domestic wire transfer - $20.00
International wire transfer - $40.00

If you have a chance to use Afternic or Sedo's escrow services, plese share your thoughts on it. Let's state all options we have here today. In my opinion, to make a good closing is very important part of the deals...

I used escrow.com several times in the past, and found it a relatively easy, automated process. I'm also working on a new, less expensive, and more efficient escrow procedure tailored for domain names (check out my sig), which should go live in a few months.

I don't think Paypal is possible for Asia. Probably Escrow.com is your best bet. Also, see if Yahoo's PayDirect or StormPay work there...
