Logistics of selling domains

[sr123]

Hi there,

I have several domains that I have purchased over the years to develop myself, but time has been tough to come by so I don't think I'll get around to developing many of them.

I have purchased a domain on which I want to sell my other domains, but it occurred to me that I have no idea how the logistics of it will work.

If I list a domain for sale, how does this work when it comes to actually dealing with the domain transfer? Will anyone pay for a domain before the transfer? Or do you have to transfer the domain first and then get the payment? Either way, how do you go about actually exchanging the domain and the payment for it?

Thanks in advance for your advice/info on this.

You can use an "domain (name) escrow service" that will collect and hold they buyer's funds until you transfer the domain to the buyers.

People have used Escrow.com for years. Other escrow providers exist and can be found by searching the operative phrases: domain escrow, domain escrow service, etc.

For smaller transactions or those where the buyer is well known and values his/her reputation you need not used an escrow service, but always first look for evidence of trustworthiness - such as a longstanding public/online "persona", reports of other successful transactions, etc.
