Domain purchased Transaction Time after payment sent?

[Blarian]

I imagine this is discussed to death somewhere, but I can't find it right now... Maybe someone can link me or tell me how long it takes after payment is sent for a domain via PayPal to get my hands on the domain?

I have never had a transaction go over a couple hours before I recieved the domain.

I believe he means through sedo. Question asked under sedo subject heading. In which case, in my experience it can take several weeks for the whole process.

ooops! sorry , yes it can take a while at sedo , although the last one I did a few weeks ago it went through in a few days because the buyer took a push at enom and didn't transfer out. As soon as payment went to sedo I got an email asking to push the domain to sedo at enom ,and then they pushed to the buyer .

Its really a matter of how fast everyone is ready to proceed, where the domain is and to which registrar its going.

No one is dragging their feet on our end so everything is pushed through as quickly as possible. The record for a domain transfer is actually just over 30 minutes : ) (keep in mind that's a record).

Assuming the buyer pays right after the transfer and an internal push is possible the transfer process can be quite painless and brief.

However, not all transfers proceed this quickly. When transfering domains from one registrar to another, for instance, this can add some time as the domain is moved at the discretion of the registrars'. Some registrars have more requirements than others. Nominet, for .co.uk domains, requires paperwork for a transfer.

Our transfer team are experts at escrow and domain transfer procedures. You'll find them quite knowledgible. They'll definitely move things along as quickly as the circumstances of the sale allow.
