discuss Someone bought a domain from me and Disappeared

[liftkid]

Someone requested for a domain here, submitted mine and it was chosen, he asked for my payment details and i gave him, payment was made since 17th may and I requested for his dynadot details immediately I confirmed payment, so I can push his domain to him but he hasn't been replying.

How can someone pay mid XXX and still careless to receive his product ???

I'm glad this worked out.

I once sold a domain at afternic and never got any details from the buyer. I kept trying to find him/her, but couldn't. I only in the last year or two stopped renewing the name and let it expire, having paid at least 3 times in renewals what I had received from the purchasing party.

I think someone picked it up in a drop service, it's still active.

Huh ? It's not my duty to renew it

 

[Domainating]

Of course not.

I originaly bought and later renewed it because I originally had designs on it, but was too busy, and took an offer.

I didn't have to renew it, but I still wanted to make something of it. Still, if I did, It could be ripped out from under me. So I didn't build it into anything.

It's a lesson, is what I'm saying. I learned I had to let it go.

I haven't got as many domains now, I used to have twice as many. If I was doing better at dominaning, I would have at least double what I once had.

Luckily, I have learned to let go of losing investments. Even if all I am losing is time.

Simply put, we have to do the honorable thing, but it should not be to our own sacrifice. And we cannot get emotionally attached to 'a name.'

(Lots of edits. Won't be using my dumb 'smart' phone to reply again. I apologize.)

so what do you do when you sold a domain years ago
its still in your account
and a fresh offer comes in

a much better offer than you sold it for

Save yourself some headaches and just refund the guy
