question Do buyers often not pay for the domain?

[Webtrader]

In the last weeks, two peoples had bought a domain via Dan.com for 3k and 10k but after that they refused to pay them and waste my time.

In my country, a deal is a deal and a handshake or a word counts the same as a contract. In court, this even has consequences if this is not respected.

But in domain trading people don't give a shit about contracts and that is frustrating.

Do you often experience that buyers don't pay for the domain or don't stick to contracts?

You should get used to this situation. Every year, I defaulted by the buyers at least a dozen times.

When I have been dealing direct with "buyers" via platforms such as NP's I have never had a buyer back out of an agreed deal.
On the other hand platforms such as Sedo etc multiple non payers. In fact one platform more non payers than payers.

Why only blame buyers. Sellers are like this as well.
Once I struck a deal on the behalf of one client with one very famous domainer and portfolio holder.
Quarter million USD were sent and contract was signed as well.
The seller then cheated and sold the domain to someone else for mere 5k usd more.
The seller's broker told me that I can go to court for this. If this much greed is the situation of big domainers then I must say buyers are very innocent.

At Dan.com I had 4 buyers in a row never contact me after accepting their offers (some after negotiation) and 1 seller who never sold the domain after I offered buy now. After that I stopped using them - might as well use your own parking with a contact form.

Where was the buyer from and what was their name?

Yes, unfortunately, it does happen that some buyers back out or don’t complete payment even after agreeing to a deal. It’s frustrating and wastes time, especially when trust and contracts feel less respected. That’s why using escrow services like Dan.com helps protect sellers, though it’s not foolproof.

Staying vigilant and working with reputable platforms can reduce risks but can’t eliminate them entirely.
