There was a low reserve price auction at flippa which I won for ($6) but the seller wasn't agree to transfer the domain as he was not expecting the domain to be sold cheaper. He asked me $150 for the domain, I opened the dispute and flippa contacted the seller. After few days seller's account was suspended. You can contact flippa and they will definitely help you, at least they will suspend his account for good.

Name and shame is an option.

there should be something similar to ebay eg 100% positive feed back etc

 

[Pierre Barnard]

Very strange, hes got 136 positive reviews!

I don't understand why waste time with name + shame & stuff like that.

Best approach in my opinion: just move on.

 

[iziksan]

I moved on all the time. But in this case he realy Pisses me off.
My approach is that people like him will think twice if to do it again. With yours, they keep doing that.

first of all i always paid any name i won or i purchase since i start domaining from 1999
the problem start when i agree with a member at namepros.com to buy his LLL.com for 18000 US$ and escrow fees
we start the transaction through escrow.com and i transfer fund auto by wire transfer from online bank account
our country jordan in middlle east had limited amounts for sending money to some countries ,, my bank account and visa frozen tel last night

even DN.com can confirm that we start the transaction with them before escrow and they canceled it because of limited from jordan to china

this guy offered a domain for 300$ bin at flippa ,, so for any reason i will not look to loss flippa.com account for a little bucks
if i dont want the name at least i didnt contact him several time to lower the bin to 300$ and i click buy now very fast

i done thousands of other transaction with multi marketplace without any problem

even if this guy offer me this name for 1$ i will keep my account suspend and not pay him for this thread
domaining.com is virtual reality world but we are a humans ,, many things can happened with any one in real life
shame of him not me

I didn't have any negative experience with Flippa yet...knock...knock. But I would contact the support and tell them the situation if I have a similar case as you.

 

[thekiller]

Flippa is crap, they cannot do anything but can threaten sellers if you post on forums about their bad service.

I have had two instances where buyer I accepted their offers and end result is nothing.

Facing the same problem here, for auctions, buyers Jayseen, Jay-EBN have not bothered to pay after winning the auction, though Jayseen has got good feedback. It appears that certain sellers are being targetted

Communication matters a lot, you shouod have let him know the sittuation of things before all the hullaballoo. Business is business and not a joke. It was like you were trying to play him and put him on high expectations. You know money is vital and when you are having expectations of getting a certain money, you beggining to plan for another expenditure.

 

[iziksan]

@elevator if you read all the post i wrote in this thread you will see that i try to communicate him more then a week and give him last "warning before i publish his name...

There is always Bitcoin if there are problems with bank transfers.

I 'm on your side and don't have any blame for you on any way, but for only trusting him. Though, at some point there is the need to trust soneone.Why not put the name on escrow and.collect your money on instalment if he is still having interest on the name been a namepros member with all the background here.

secondly, as a domainers we trust each other here in namepros all the time,
is it not so ??

No, sorry, we don't trust everyone here. Some people i do trust, very small number. Most I don't

Now days, a person can come here, post in welcome thread, get likes, make a few posts and in a week are

an established member. This business is full of scammers, liars, shill bidders, and greedy people.

Flippa sucks, seems there is always a horror story on here about them. No selfies here

@FlippaDomains should be able to help you out.

Unfortunately is true.

Jayseen is new, like from the summer. I was in PM chat with them once regarding some brandables and they offered one price... then when I tried to accept, they raised the price. Ik under NP rules that's not right, but I decided to just let it go because noobs should be forgiven.

but it looks like they kept it up lol.

 

[dnk]

Other members should be aware that Jayseen is not a person to be trusted for selling domain names, refusing to reply, though he or she appears to have got positive feedback, mainly from her friends . Is there any way people should be told of the lack of honesty of Jayseen

 

[Jv1999]

I have auctions, winning bidders failed to pay. Reported it and move on to the next.
Same thing goes with parking domains, offer made and accepted, but buyer did not complete the transaction. Reported it and move on.

Sadly to say, this is part of our growing industry.

Tbh if someone won my auction on NP and didn't pay, I would feel not bad at all.

What hurts the most is when you transfer a domain and they DONT pay (happened to me on NP). Or the chargeback. It's almost like a blessing if they win your auction, but no one loses anything -- it's not a big deal at all. I mean you can always go with the last bidder before them... I really wouldn't feel a thing.

forget and learn so that you don't do again

 

[ChelseaDott]

I don't think you should bother yourself. Domainers usually do that and it's kind of acceptable.

Yes, that's true it is really sad.
