My Domain -- Question on sale!
Hey all, i recently received an offer of about $850 for my domain ps-4.com

Do you think I should take it or ask for more?

Edit: Just about all of the tld's are taken. .com, .net, .info, .org, .biz and i believe .us is as well.

How did you get scammed? did he pay you via paypal and hack into someone else's account? or how did the transaction take place?

Okay, i got the payment from paypal. So i transferred the domain. 15mins after i get the payment paypal F***ing holds the payment for review.. They then withdraw it from my account and tell me it was an unauthorized transaction. But when we called paypal, they couldn't give us details on what form of unauthorization occurred. They told us there were various forms. So how can they take money out of my account and not tell me why it was unauthorized! Can i sue?

I don't see why it would take them 15minutes after the fact that i received the payment to hold the funds.

I'm sure this does not help now... but anytime you are selling an item over $50 like this you need to use www.escrow.com so you can avoid these types of situations. Where did you find the buyer? If it was from a forum at least make sure you report it to the admins so they can ban the user.... this kind of stuff happens all the time and paypal could care less about you...

Also, i called the number affiliated with the current whois and he said that he has'nt been on a computer in months. Do you think Godaddy can send the domain back to me with that information?

Yeah it was on sitepoint.com
