OK, I want to buy a domain name from someone I completely don't know, he's not using it, it expirs in a bout 2 weeks.
Nothing big but a nice name for $200.
That means, I made him an offer for $200 and he replied, "sure, I'll take $200 for it".
Then I asked him how we should process and mentioned that I had used escrow.com in the past.
He told me "I'll look into that" and since then no reply.
I am not sure if escrow.com if worth using for a $200 transaction, but if I paypal him $200, how do I know that he will then transfer the name.
How do you usually buy names from complete strangers?
Escrow, only paypal, or paypal with some kind of faxed Bill of Sale?
