PLEASE tell me how you all protect yourselves when you buy or when you sell your websites.
Buyers want "proof of revenue" but I truly doubt screenshots really mean anything. Seems like anyone proficient in Photoshop could come up with a great looking screenshot.
Sellers can get into trouble by assuming a paypal payment to be gold, and from what I understand the process at escrow.com doesn't really protect the seller either.
The best method I can figure is to trust the reputation that people gain from from being active on the webmaster forums, like ******** and *********, etc. But even that isn't foolproof...I suppose someone could make little transactions to get a good name then make big money by selling junk for a lot of dough, then jump ship from there.
I've come to the point of either looking for some kind of super web expert/lawyer guy (do you know of any?) or only spending what I can afford to loose.
What is the real proof? How do you guys do this without getting screwed???
