I own a website with a private WHOIS and was approached by a private party to purchase it. I don't have any verifiable details about this party. I've never sold a domain or website or before. How can I complete this transaction safely?
Escrow.com seems to be the most common option. I'd feel great using their concierge service, but that doesn't cover website content. Is there a trusted service that does domain+content (without listing all the details necessary for somewhere like Flippa)? With escrow.com, is there some way to ensure that I protect myself in the sale? I'm concerned about the buyer rejecting the content but taking it, moving the domain in a way that seems like I never transferred it, or some other scam I'm unaware of.
