    When Buying A Domain From Someone, What Is The Best Way To...

    transfer ownership?

    Does the buyer pay the seller first, then put in a transfer request with his registrar and have the seller approve the transfer?

    Is it better that the buyer pay half first, then pay the other half once the transfer of ownership has been successful?

    Is there any way to ensure not getting ripped off if you pay someone for a domain, but then they dont transfer it over?

    Opinions and experiences anyone?

          depending on the amount, pay half, then have them transfer, then pay the rest

          otherwise, escrow.com

                      Escrow.com is my rule of thumb for $1000+ unless both parties trust eachother, then I use wire.

                          Escrow.com looks good. Their transaction fee comes out to around 8% of my total transaction amount, but oh well, thats business.

                              Escrow.com is a great and very convenient service.
                              I once bought a more expensive domain and they even agreeded that i sent them three separate wires.

                              And then it was still missing a few $$ ( unexpected intermediary banking charges ) so they billed the mising amount from my credit card
                              I don't use ICQ anymore.
