the person i'm thinking of selling my site to lives in isreal, how am i supposed to complete the transaction with someone so far away? any ideas cause i have none... and credit cards won't work... http://geekvillage.com/ubb/frown.gif

PayPal.com is what I normally use for most transactions.

It should make no difference where in the world the buyer resides. All of the payment methods mentioned in the previous discussion about this may be used across borders (ie, money orders, wired funds, escrow services, PayPal, etc).

And since most domain transfers take place online, there's no problem there.

You can also consider western union service. They have offices all over the world and it only takes 20 minutes to send the money. They take rather big commission tho...

Mp3next, i might as well be a potential buyer, please drop me a line at trnjko@hotpop.com

Be careful using PayPal to transfer large sums of money. Lots of
webmasters have lost out due to unusual circumstances. You could
end up selling your site but never really getting paid.

Personally I would NEVER use paypal for anything other than ebay auctions. Their 'fraud department' is not very helpful. I filed a complaint some time ago and never heard from them again.

PlanetLaunch · 06-13-2001, 01:40 PM

I have used the escrow services at Afternic several times and have been pleased with their services. Basically the buyer sends Afternic the money and Afternic holds onto the money until they confirm that the domain name has been successfully transferred to the buyer. Then they send the seller a check for the funds. Plus the check is written by Afternic, so you don't have to worry about cashing a foreign check. The service costs the buyer $50.
