is 100$ logo fee need to pay upfront ?

No, you receive your money minus fee for logo designer minus commission fee after the sale. The only thing you have to pay upfront is the $10 listing fee, of course after your name is accepted.

Sold zenbedrooms dot com $2500.00
Originally purchased with go daddy coupon for $3.13
Contacted by end user and sold in 3 days after initial contact
I start the reply email to the end user with, "the site is under development and my company cannot consider anything less than $5000.00..."

Negotiations lead to $2500.00 - grateful for this forum as the knowledge gained here helped me sell my first name.

Could be - I don't know - I regged the name because I loved the sound of it. Three months later I was grateful enough to sell it. The blue bird did all the sales work Best wishes all.

Good job jideofor. Thanks for sharing. Hope you continue to make sales.

Happy NewYEAR bro. Been a while and have been thinking of dropping a PM for you but i keep forgeting.

Yeah, I will. I am still learning and tweaking... Hopefully, there will be more sales soon. I have learnt not to be greedy. Sadly, I blew my Big Data domain sale...

I have one pending since November....

With what i learnt from dubstep and thydon plus my tested strategy, I should see more sales soon.

Thanks to you and FX and the entire family here... God bless you.

Just want to sound a warning to newbies in domaining.

The last 15 hours has beem so hell for me over the domain I reported.

NEVER transfer a domain without assurance of payment. Some of this end-user are freak. Dont say because you are dealing with a big company you cant get scammed.

They received the domain change the whole info, including login, but didnt pay. I waited for the supposed person that will handle the transfer on her behalf but never saw him. I sent an email to her to invite the person on board so that I could answer any question they may have and I got non. I never knew that while I was waiting, they had logged on to changed all info plus login(transferred to a different account for ease). So, I couldnt login anymore.

I actually dont have a problem with that.

I sent a message and got no reply and called her line over 5 times with no one answering. At this stage, i became uneasy.

Imagine they have their domain but no payment?

I was frustrated and had resort to a threat,albeit an empty threat. I had no other way to settle a case like this over a thousand mile apart.

It was at that point she answered me on phone ... Blah blah blah... We talked on

She later sent an email that they will pay but it wont be yesterday or today but this week. Can you imagine? No specification of payment after securing the domain name.

Then a few minutes later I got an email that they will pay today.

I apologised for the threat and gave my reason for acting that way as due to lack of communication from her end.

Today after several hours, I had to contact her again with series of text messages and an email.

Am glad that payment has finally been made.

To all newbies, always use Escrow as security, this is a rookie mistake. Don't trust anyone on the internet.

jideofor, just curious, when you say they "changed whole info, including login", what do you mean by login? You didn't give them your login details did you?

I can understand your situation but I have to say it is not unusual for big companies to be slow at paying. I have sold several domains to companies who have paid a week later. The key is to be patient if you need or require the money right away please include that in your terms of contract. Remember the person dealing with the transfer is not necessarily the person to remit payment. Be professional at all times no need for threats unless you have proof they want to scam you. I have had to wait up to four weeks for payment as some companies pay out their invoices at the end of the month.
The request is sent to their accounting team and then it goes into a payment queue.
If you need the money right away then make sure you state so and use Escrow. It is highly unlikely for a registered company to scam you they could have been busy. You may have got your money but could have potentially destroyed a relationship. My opinion only.

You have made a good sale in my opinion

 

[jideofor]

Thanks friends. I am still new at all this and learning at the same time. My first domain sale wasnt like this. It was pretty fast and maybe I was judging based on that.

@ Giles, I created a new account and transferred the domain there but couldnt log in since they changed it as well as the whois info.

Too bad...

 

[infmoney]

Sorry guys, I wouldn't recommend it at all, but ALL my sales I've pushed first(to another Gdd account) and then send an invoice to the person which I explain should be paid as soon as the domain is in their possession.

Slowest I've ever been paid is by the end of the day.

I've done this with x,xxx domains as well.
