It's hard to tell some times ... But NetSol does in fact provide this service. I know several members have sold domains this way.

Looking at the header - It appears legit to me.

If you feel there is any Questions still - I'd forward it to NetSol to confirm .... But I wouldn't be in a hurry for a response.
