Thinking I could trust a client to pay for a domain (they're a reputable company), I sent them a domain. After 48 hours, they have ignored my emails, and of course all requests to pay. The domain was sent to them from my Godaddy account to theirs.

Naturally, I've learned never to do this in the future. But what do you suggest are my options now?

It's only been 48 hrs, maybe wait a bit more?

But definitely sounds bad already tho lol
 
I'll let you have that, Tony_d. Had just woken up when writing this post. Congratulations; you're in a small club.
 
Sounds like good news to me if its on your account.

Make sure you charge them $5000 renewal fee when the domain is up for renewal next year !
 
No. The domain was transferred from my Godaddy account to their Godaddy account.

However, I do love how your mind works!
 
First of all, keep all correspondence.
Take it up with GoDaddy, although GoDaddy have a bit of a track reputation for being useless at disputes.
If you have the physical address of the company, write them a physical letter, with a letterhead and everything. Companies pay more attention to letters than email.

A lot of companies try and pay as late as they possibly can for cash flow reasons. Just keep reminding them. Ultimately, that's all you can really do for now.

Thanks for this reply, Promethean. I'm in new territory here and almost completely clueless about how to react to such a situation. The advice is much appreciated and I'll put it into action today.

Cheers!
