My 1st domain sale experience with Uniregistry.

This is not about who is wrong or right ,maybe it's because this is my first domain sale at uniregistry .
But it left a negative impression on me ,so much so that I disabled all my 1240 domain being brokered by uniregistry from now .I also send 3 Tweets to Frank Schilling without getting a reply
I also will move any renewal domains away from uniregistry .
You make your own judgement on this or maybe you have simular story .
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here is why .
I recieved an email from Christopher Aguilar,from Unireg.
Offer of $100 for domain ....com
I countered with $300----The buyer agreed and i would get $255
This opportunity will be subject to our standard 15% commission. Please price your domain accordingly to include the commission as it will be deducted from the final purchase price.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I received another email from Chris .
Message from Christopher Aguilar at Uniregistry.com:
Buyers offer $400.00
Commission rate 15%
"""" Net price $340.00*""""
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Chris
I am just wondering why the buyer and i agreed on $300 for the domain in the first place
and you still tried to get a higher price ?I did NOT ask you to get a higher price !!!
He was just about to cancel the deal because of this .
----------------------------------------------------------
Message from Christopher Aguilar at Uniregistry.com:
Hi Frank,
The buyer is maxed out at 400. You would net 224.80.
What do you think?
Buyers offer $400.00
Commission rate 43.8%
"""""Net price $224.80*""""
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

=======================================================
In all our 10 or so conversations the line " Brokers fee is $175 " has only been mentioned ONCE.
I also told Chris that i wanted to be paid via Paypal but they still used Credit Card ,because
I am being charged $25 fee.

Don't forget, no other broker will touch four figure leads. Normally inquiries from whatever country is forwarded to the Uni broker who speaks their language. They do phone or skype calls whenever the buyer leaves a number, and they keep calling and pestering until they get an answer. They buyer also has their number to get in touch with whenever they want. Ok so they're not *real* brokers who do research and outbound, and they represent way too many names, but your only other option is self brokerage. In most cases I never understood why anyone would self broker, and what they're potentially losing. hint: way more than 15 or even 20%!

One thing puzzles me ,but maybe i dont understand the procedures .
Money was sent to my Paypal account as requested but I still had to pay $15,52 Credit Card fee.

PayPal charges a fee, for processing the buyers payment, that got debited from you, as is the norm.

I think the confusion comes from godaddy sedo having one fixed broker fee, but since it was your first time you didn’t realize there is a broker fee, and a checkout fee, it can be bypassed by the broker going thru escrow.com, as you were specific what you were needing to net, they should have explained that to you. No point aggravating things further, what is done is done, lesson learned.

escrow does not transfer funds to overseas sellers,as i understand

What happened is that Jeff has a namepros account which he hasn't used in a long time, and does not remember what the login was. So for the purpose of replying in this thread, he created a new account. Detecting two accounts, Eric shut off the new one, instead of the old one.

This is correct.

@Eric Lyon - would it be possible to close the old unused account instead, so that Jeff can address the questions here?

We worked with Jeff to recover his main account.

His account is open and verified: @Jeffrey Gabriel


Hope that helps,

To All
I just would like to state here that no employee of uniregistry has done anything wrong or has been dishonest in dealing with me with the sale of my domain .
I sincerly apologise if I have created that impression .
