I decided to push the domain name to the end users account, and accept payment after.
This is my first big sale ($2000 US) by bank wire.
End User is a established Hosting Company.
Did I do the right thing to earn the trust of the End User?
Hi
here's my viewpoint
first, you violate rule # 1....get paid first
then..if i look back...you post about selling to end-users in articles here.
so...you should KNOW what you are doing by now and not be posting these kinds of scenerios, especially for newbies to be scratching their heads, as they see the contradictions.
you don't have to get or earn the trust of an end-user.
you only have to get the amount you want, sent to your account first, before you transfer the domain.
once the end-user gets the domain, then they know that you are a professional, because you have delivered the merchandise.
everyone here who has ever sold a domain, knows to get paid first.
just as buyers here know they have to send payment first.
why even open that other door?
if that sounds harse, cold or not so tasteful...hope someone can translate it
would have been better if you just posted about your big sale and left those details out.
but i hope it goes well for you in the end
imo...
