Two weeks ago I reached out to an owner (US Citizen) of a .com domain to purchase his domain, and after negotiation (via email) we agreed on a price ($6.000). The seller sent me an Escrow.com invite and I transferred the money.
Around 10 days ago Escrow notified the seller that the funds were secured and that the buyer & seller could start the domain transfer. However the seller did not responded and can't be reached anymore. I'm afraid he received a higher offer from someone else and is ignoring the current transaction.
In Holland (where I live) the email agreement would be binding and I could even sue the seller for not delivering. But what is the best way to proceed in the US? Legal advice, perhaps a WIPO dispute, or do I have no chance at all to receive my bought domain?
Any insight is appreciated!
