Flippa and his curious solution

[Dondomainer]

After selling a domain. have confirmed my account with my credit card, have also confirmed my account with the phone, my email, have transferred the domain to buyer,

Flippa says that they send payment through paypal, if I add my bank account and as an alternative solution they say :

If the buyer has already received the assets and wishes to send you funds directly via PayPal, I'm happy to refund the Buyer's payment.

Also they say that $ 5 of my credit card frozen for two days, were not to authenticate my account, wait a minute, then flippa lie because that's exactly what they say.

His solution is utterly disappointing, worthy of a novice website.

I don't feel safe on offer too much information about me, I think they have created a system that works more like a financial institution as a domain market.

In the end, I do not know when I can collect my money, a complete nightmare.

I'd like to know how OP is dealing with tax etc. while not having a bank account. Seems to me that to be a domainer would require a bank account so I have no sympathy here.

You can call their office if you need to. It's more of an apartment

We have an international team across multiple offices.

We do not have phone support.

Sounds like you have gripes, but I do not know, specifically, what they are. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like my help.

Just stumbled on this page just now, and I really appreciate the photo ID kind of things are raised here. I am really satisfied with Flippa Escrow services so far. It would become great if we have the feature of controlling the release of our payments through payment dashboard.

@ForceAwakens @Jen-Sin reasonably good points on identification issues, things should be flexible in general & from case to case basis. After all rules are for humans, not humans are for rules. Things operate better when tackled in Human way, rather than mechanically rigid legal lines, imo.

I really appreciate @FlippaDomains for staying updated directly with issues like this, and for the Human Support that has been extended all the time by involving in matters like this directly, please keep it up.

to avoid issues, accept only direct paypal payment after a sale. and make it clear when you get offer and negotiate, or in your listing, if you list auctions.

not sure how to handle it with buynow listings, as I have none. but I sure as heck do not sell on flippa, unless its a direct paypal payment after the sale is made on flippa.

Couldn't the buyer claim they never got the domain or website with PayPal?

never happened to me. I'm sure scammers can claim anything, so u can keep your emails or a screenshot maybe, for any low fedback suspicious lookin buyer, to show to paypal if they do make the scam claim on u
