Selling a Domain to International Buyer

via credit card

[4crests]

Has anyone here had any experiences selling a domain to an international buyer? The buyer wants to use a credit card. What would happen if he did a chargeback on his card after I transferred the domain to him?

I guess I should have him fax me a signed credit card authorization?

Or maybe I would be better off making him go through PayPal?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Why not go through escrow.com?

Individual or corporation?

A corporation can send you a purchase order and can be checked out via tax returns.

Because they can chargeback the credit card at a later date.

Yes its not worth the risk.I sold a domain to a nigerian bank(at least they said it was a nigerian bank)and they paid through paypal by credit card.Because it was not a verified paypal account I put the domain in their name and the dns they wanted but kept the administrative contact as my own so that if they chargeback i will at least get the domain back.
Selling a domain to somebody with a credit card is not worth the risk unless you are certain about them.Tell them to pay by check and wait for it to clear before you transfer the name completely to them.

The guy didn't tell me if he was representing a corporation or not.

I think I will go the CHECK method.

Thanks everyone.
