Did you know that EscrowDomains.com is owned and operated by Greenberg & Lieberman (APLegal.com) innovative domain / IP attorneys in Washington DC?

[stevanlieberman]

1. No, but I prefer my current escrow process/company.

2. Yes, I am a regular or one time client.

3. I was not aware, but will visit EscrowDomains.com or call (301) 588-2849 for more information or assistance.

Was there any news on the Internet.com domain auction? I notice it has been "Pending Domain Name Sale" for a while now....

Also, in the initial press release:

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210305005301/en/Internet.com-Set-for-Auction-at-35-Million

it mentioned:



Are you able to say which domain name changed hands for $105 million??!!??

Negotiations are ongoing with one party and no, I am not able to state any of the info about the 105 million dollar sale as the confidentiality agreements around that transaction prevent me from saying anything.

 

[stevanlieberman]

I would hazard a guess the $105m probably Fairway's purchase of home.com via A-Miller. Whilst he didn’t say, he left enough breadcrumbs for me to work it out. I’m sure when the next SEC filing is due, you’ll tell us all anyway GK.

That was my initial guess too, back in March:

Hopefully one day we'll see something in a SEC filing....

This is an advertisement instead of a poll, right?

Can't it be both? Maybe it is a call out into the dark to see if anyone else is out there and hoping we are not all disembodied texts on a computer screen ???!!!

A handful of sites, purchased in private sales, have seen prices climb as high as $105 million.

1. Do you accept only Bitcoin or do you also accept other cryptocurrencies for payment?

We accept any crypto that is available on Bitstamp, Coinbase or Gemini.

2. Can all fees be also paid in crypto or do you require separate payment for that in case of a crypto transaction?

Everything can be paid in crypto.

3. If the buyer pays in crypto but the seller wants USD do you perform the conversion?

Yes we perform the conversion.

4. What documents are required from the buyer and the seller for a crypto transaction?

The same as in any escrow transaction. We have to follow the usual know your client (KYC) and anti-money laundry (AML) rules, but we are flexible as I know the majority of the people in the domain industry we do not have to ask for identification, etc all that often.

5. Do you support any kind of internal balance (e. g. after making a sale I want to buy something as well, so I could use the funds straight from escrow without having to do extra wire transfers).

We keep an internal balance and hold money for clients, often for long periods, and are happy to wire to third parties so long as you provide us with the necessary documentation and understand that the third party has to pass KYC/AML.

6. Do you have an API to automate selling from our own landing pages?I have not looked at it in a long while so please let me know if you want to use it so we can make sure it is still functioning.

We do though

7. Can payout be delayed/spread over time even if the buyer makes a full one-time payment?

Absolutely

Thanks

 

[stevanlieberman]

This is a NamePros sponsored and paid for advertisement!!!! We are very good at escrow. You should give us a try.

 

[stevanlieberman]

105? wow. meta.com?

I wish I could say, but can't. The seller and buyer know the details and could agree to release the info if they like.

[stevanlieberman]

Thank you for your feedback and the kind words. I had never tried anything like this before, thought it was different, so agreed to give it a try. I agree, John's method is far better and I have participated over the years. I wish I had more time to participate more. Fair warning, we paid for 5 weeks so you will see more 'survey' questions. If you ever need assistance with escrow or any other legal issues please don't hesitate giving me a call. I would be happy to help.

 

[stevanlieberman]

@stevanlieberman , can escrowdomains.com provide some paperwork, like sedo do: sales agreement, billing documents that I can show In bank in order to explain the money source and amount.
Thanks!

Anf, we can and do all the time upon request.

[stevanlieberman]

I couldn't say if I want to use it or not without knowing details, so please look into it and share this information with us.

I asked tech and they say you should wait until the next version of the system is pushed before using the api. I will let you know when that happens.

Namepros offers advertisements if you're interested, that way you can promote your business while helping the community instead of just spamming.

There was a time where the response to sloppy promo like this would be to start doing SEO for terms like "EscrowDomains.com scam" "Is EscrowDomains.com a scam?" etc, but I'm glad those days are in the past. None the less, this doesn't really inspire trust or make you guys seem like straight shooters.

Comes across underhanded, and it's just a bad advertisement. I hope you're better at escrow than you are at spamming forums.

 

[stevanlieberman]

Your dedicated domain escrow website looks good, and exudes a lot of authority because of your great expertise. I definitely think this domain name forum is the ideal place for you to attract new clients in the domain escrow niche. It takes a switch to find the most comfortable form to bring the escrow part to the attention of a new group of domainers in a natural way. Is it a service for the masses, or bespoke? I would most certainly appreciate some words where you describe the competitive advantage your domain escrow solution has, compared to other domain escrow solutions. The floor is yours

I originally imagined it as a service for the masses, but it is truly bespoke as although we can do the straight escrow transaction easily enough, 1 buyer, 1 seller swap, what we can do better than anyone else is the strange and more complex transactions. Our system allows for contractual addendums to be uploaded so it intermixes the paper contract where needed with the online tracking system. Our other advantages are my knowledge of the industry after 26 years, ability to make and advise on legal details and the client's ability to pick up the phone and just give us a call if something / anything is needed.

 

[LOLed]

I have used Escrowdomains before and although I don't remember all the details now because it was in 2018, it was a nice experience for both me and the seller.

Oooh, oooh, I got one....

Although he did find his way out of the desert that day I abandoned him with a flat tire....

 

[stevanlieberman]

EscrowDomains is

Hi Stevan. Do you currently offer or have plans to offer BIN and Make Offer buttons so I can provide my customers with a one-click link similar to what the other escrow company offers?
Thank you. Todd

Thanks for the question TOdd. No we do not have BIN / Make Offer yet. I hope to one day.

 

[stevanlieberman]

I joined to check around but at the tax form section I saw that your W-8BEN form required "Foreign tax identifying number", which I don't have so I can't really use your service.

I've been signing W-8BEN forms all my life and I never have to give that info. Not one of the companies rejected my forms.

We are happy to take a W8-Bene on paper as well, but you can just write N/A in that space if you do not have one.

 

[stevanlieberman]

NamePros accepted advertising $$$ from a good and trusted escrow provider. A good sign.

I know that EscrowDomains.com is owned and operated by Greenberg & Lieberman. I think I have an account (migrated from another brand), but I do not use it as I sell exclusively via marketplaces. So, I did not vote in this poll (no such option). However, should I need to use an escrow service due to some reason (customized or otherwise exotic transaction T&C most likely), I will definitely consider EscrowDomains

Thank you very much for considering us. I do hope to put up a marketplace one day, but then I have lots of projects I would like to get done one day.

 

[stevanlieberman]

Since there's W-8BEN, will there be additional taxes imposed on the final payout?

The W8-Bene is what has to be filled out so we do not have to withhold any tax. It is only if it is not filled that we have to withhold taxes.

Just hit another roadblock. I was setting up info for the "Disbursement" page but I don't see any way to choose crypto at all despite it being mentioned elsewhere and here. Is crypto now not available?

Crypto is available but we currently do it by hand. Just let David or I know that you wish disbursement to be via crypto and we will make it happen. Are you aware that there is a $250 crypto fee? my email is [email protected] and dave's is either [email protected] or [email protected]. I am also available via phone (202) 625-7016 or skype: stevanlieberman or whatsapp or gchat.
