Domain purchasing question

[abrusnahan]

I'm thinking about buying a few domains off of ebay and what I was wondering, After I get the winning bid, what happens?

In general they are "pushed" to your account at the same registrar (ie godaddy). You would need to open an account at the registrar the domain is currently with. For larger sales sometimes an escrow service is used.

You also want to do your due diligence and make sure you take a look at how long before the domain expires...domain ownership and trademark compliance would also be prudent!.

Just winning the bid isn't enough. You first have to check if the domains are registered under the seller's name and he still owns it. The expiry dates of the domains etc. Then you can proceed with the next steps i.e. payment and domain transfer.

if you are doing a big deal of many domains or any expensive domain, you should better complete the deal through escrow service, although its time taking process. You are assured of a good deal there. Check where the domains are registered, and you too need to have the account with that registrar to have an easy transfer of the domains.

Also make sure you take a look at the sellers feedback. I have bought many domains on eBay and every transaction has gone smoothly. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me
