Hy.

I have a question... I'm interested in buying and already own domain?

Now my question is how I can do that...

Let's say I contact the owner, we agree on a price... What should it happen next... What should I look for and what should I pay attention?

Thank you.
 
use who.is to locate the owner, then if there's an agreement you will have to add the price of the domain transfer

what happen next transfer the domain to your account , but maybe he
scam you so use trusted mid man like sedo
 
Do not misunderstand me but I need more specific information.

I have already found the owner of the domain, what I need to know is what should I do and what should happen after we agree on the price.

How the transfer should be, when to make the payment... that kind of information I need..

Thank you

ok if the domain registered with godaddy give him your godaddy username/email and he will transfer the domain to your account ,
make the payment when you are sure you will receive the domain .

or use mid man like sedo.com for the safe process

Thank you for your help.. this relay help me clear my mind....
 
escrow every time , since you won't release the funds until the domain has been transferred it'll be hard to scam you
i did this to buy one of my expensive domains and used it to negotiate a better price as the seller was just as scared of loosing his domain as i was of my hard earned cash, even got them to pay for the escrow .... happy days and good luck with your purchase
 
I've done this a lot but I don't worry about escrow if it's not a lot of money. I didn't catch a price you're paying for the domain but I don't think you'll get scammed over $17. Even if the guy doesn't transfer it immediately you can do a WhoIs search and hound him otherwise. If you do use an escrow service, search around. Some have stupidly high fees.
 
I would use escrow.com service or any related. Be careful with scammers
 
I'm talking around $50... I hope:), but I thing i will use escrow any way... just to be sure... I see many things around so I like to keep it safe...

Thank you all for your response...
 

Sounds like you need to close the deal (price) before worrying about how to buy/transfer etc. :thumb:

Enjoy ..... :cool2:

Yes, I agree with you but I like to thing ahead and have the information before do something, this is the reason I ask about how things works, If I will not manage to close this one it will help me next time.

Again thank you all for your help.
 
So as you said contact the domain holder and make sure it is his domain. he have to had the domain for about at least 3 months to be able to transfer the domain to your domain holder.
Hope it will work out for you.

Hy.

Thank you, I did not know about the 3 month rule..
By the way I think this sale will not happen since I try to contact the owner and no response yet...


Thank you
 

For transfers your domain name must be at least 60 days old. This is a Registry-imposed requirement that affects all Registrars.
