@FlippaDomains apparently you cannot read post #61 in this thread so I will requote:

@Nick V ~ I'll look into why this further for you. Let us please communicate offline from here on out, as it's getting o/t from o/p[/QUOTE]

Excuse me but it does seem quite relevant. Why should I bother with Flippa, then?

If you take your hat off for long enough, I can point out the question mark too. I am here to help.

I'll gladly work with @Nick V -- but his issue is more nuanced, and hence my suggesting he and I continue to work off-Namepros.

It happens,may be the seller was new to this domain game or dont know TOS of flippa.
I am also new to this domain world..but still I will let my domain go for $1 or whatever the highest bid will be.

Would be great if you could share the domain(s) you were seeking to sell, so we can assist further. [email protected]

Sent an email. Let's see what will be.

Happened to me too. I won the high bid for a website with a good domain. The seller backed out because he wasn't happy with the deal, even though no reserve. Flippa didn't do anything about it.

Here's a solution. For no reserve auctions, Flippa should hold the domain in escrow as soon as the auction starts. This way, there is no backing out.

I was reading this thread and then I found a nice .io lll with no reserve
I fought with other bidders and the bidding reached $40. I wqs declared as winner and I instantly made payment. Then after more than thrre days when the seller did not answer I then tried one last time and he asked for my information. I waited for two days then he sent me a message saying they sre cancelling the transaction cause they got the domain for $200 before and now this is big loss.

I filled dispute and it was in my favor. The seller was not knew to domaining at all for he has a good market place but on flippa he had 2k + transactions. He was banned last I checked.

Whoever does something like this is simply stupid. I once did no reserve in flippa for a bulk of 8 good domains. Bidding reached $21. I did not complain and I honored the sale. In fact I later found out the winner was a well known member of this forum

Seems he got suspended. Good. Personally I would of offered him a little more than 20$, on top of the option of not being suspended on Flippa. I doubt he would of accepted the offer, but hey maybe he might.

It sucks to lose money in an auction. It has happened to all of us. That is why you don't set high priced domain actions as no reserve and low starting bids.

We all seem to learn the hard way.

Transferring someone a domain you know is worth a lot more almost physically hurts but you have to honor your end of the deal.

 

[frostify]

This is why Flippa gives you the option to set a reserve

 

[DGMDomains]

This sucks towards sellers thinking they'll get higher bidders with no reserve. Truth is you're taking a fast risk with your account if you don't sell it. I'm glad I always set a reserve for my domains, I've seen crazy ass low baller bids for domains that are worth (supposedly) $X,XXX of money.
