.co.uk transfers ????

[picassoface]

Does anyone know an Easy way to transfer a .co.uk domain to someone else ? (name reg'd at godaddy)

You have to get transfer forms from Nominet (Google it) fill them in, send them to the buyer, buyer fills them in as well, buyer send forms back to Nominet, then you can proceed...

Long process...

First of all never use a US registrar to register UK domains as you will get ripped off.
Same as regging .com etc with UK registrars.
If you use a UK registrar you can push like any other domain so the buyer has control of the domain.
Then print off the transfer forms from Nominets site. Completing them only takes 2/3 mins.
Send off with copy of id. i.e a utility bill etc
Post to seller with a letter stating that you wish to sell, addresed & signed.
Doesn't hurt to do a letter FOR the buyer filled out the same & just means all buyer has to do is sign & enclose payment with the payment form.
(currently £11.75 i believe, inclusive of VAT)
Once Nominet receive they will update the whois, email you both to say job done & send the new owner a shiny ownership certificate.
Sounds complicated but actually only takes 15 minutes when you know what you're doing.
Unfortunately there are no shortcuts.
Only one way saves the id being sent & that is if you're a tagholder.
Cheers,

If I sold the name on Afternic, would it be customary for the buyer to pay the Nominet fees even if such a condition was not in the name description ?

Thanks

Yes, it's normally taken that the buyer pays the transfer fee - If it's a high value sale and the fee has not been discussed I sometimes pay it myself though rather than risk annoying the buyer

No, it was only a $160 sale ( minus afternic's 60, that leaves me 100 )

Buyer pays the fee then, either inform them in advance or send the forms off and let them find out for themselves

I used eNom for my only co.uk - pricing was under $10.

It's Prince William not Harry. I think we can safely say he is smitten big time & they stuck together all through Uni
Wish you had kept hold of that :undecided:
