How to buy Domain Names Safely ?

[SaN-DeeP]

Probably many might have asked this question, I made a search but did not found effective tips from people.

There are many places to buy domain names from apart from our very great namepros.com

How would you go ahead buying a domain name from someone whom you do not know personally, neither know where the oppossite person is from ?

Buyer and Sellers kindly post your suggestions.

Warm Regards,

ask around, the domain world isnt huge, you'll find someone who will tell you about the seller, check their TR, use escrow for large amounts. low-mid xxx transactions aren't usually a big problem, there aren't to many people out their looking to screw you over.



Edit: If you are screwed over make sure you have their whois info, email the registrar, paypal, icann, and tell all domainers

I have successfully made transaction upto mid xxx amounts, but now going for some large amounts upto low xxxx $, hence my concerns.

Edit: If you are screwed over make sure you have their whois info, email the registrar, paypal, icann, and tell all domainers

But does this really helps ?

It is better than nothing.
First, collect all the info about the seller,
Use escrow when it reached a high amount, if the seller has high trader rating here in NP, you don't need to worry about if it is not a >xxx sale.
BTW, not an ad, I offer free escrow service at my site.

Hi duskdawn,
thanks for reply, almost every domain auction company provides escrow service (which can be trusted) neither i have problems of dealing on namepros.com but recently one user (on another forum) contacted me for a premium domain name, hence thought of making this thread, before actually paying him using PAYPAL.

Regards,

use escrow.com service at this circumstances.
it only charges 32.50 $ to have a transaction of 1000 $
