Can someone who's sold a domain through namerific give me some feedback on how quickly/easily they pay out and whether these people are trustworthy?
I listed some domains with them about 3 years ago and completely forgot about it until I was informed by them that one of my domains sold this week for $5k. Once I got word that the payment cleared, I provided them with transfer code and was able to get the domain to the buyer in under 24 hours ( notified them of the completed transfer and forwarded an email from GoDaddy confirming successful completion ).
Since then, it seems that communication with namerific has been almost non-existent. There's no automatic follow-up to let me know where things stand and I've had to email them multiple times before I got any sort of response. The last email from them said that they emailed the buyer and that I'd be getting paid once they received confirmation from the buyer that they were in possession of the domain. I don't get it. What if the buyer never responds? Why can't they just confirm by looking up the whois? ( I asked them these questions and got no answer thus far).
Their lack of responsiveness to emails, plus the fact that their phones go straight to voicemail ( one of their numbers is a free google voice number ), plus the fact that I have no way of knowing if/when the buyer communicates with them, all add up to me wondering if they're a legit company or if I just got scammed. It's only been a day and a half since the buyer took possession of the domain so I'm not in full panic mode yet but since I have no history with these people, the way they're handling things is leaving me feeling pretty uneasy.
