    Need a lawyer to help me with buying a site.

    I need a lawyer to help me with a site I bought. Basically the owner has been giving me excuses and has not transfered the site to me.

    I would like to recoup revenues I would have earned as this has been delayed about 3 months.

    I have a contract and various IM history logs.

    How much did you pay for it and why didnt you use escrow .com?
    I'm buying credit, banking, loan, insurance related generics in .com, .net, .org with high search volumes/traffic. Will consider typos too! - PLEASE PM with name, info, & asking price!

    I haven't paid for the site yet. Should have clarified that. I want to pay for the site and have it transfered to me, but it seems the seller doesn't want to give the site up.

    If you didn't pay yet, you don't own the site!

    Yeah Agree with Duncan.
    If you havent paid anything you dont own that property yet so its the choice of sellers wheter to sell you.

    I belive he has the right to the website .. if they both agreed on a price and the sale was argeed so they got into a contract here . Now he wants to pay for the site and get the site .

    Erm... If they had a deal to sell the site then both parties are obliged to go through with it.

    Not worth pursuing though unless you are talking in the '000s at least of revenue

    It was actually bought on ebay, so that counts as a binding contract.

    So there are no lawyers here that can help me?

    Im not a lawyer, but i can give you advice anyway. Forget about it. Unless you can prove conclusively that this site would have earned tens of thousands of dollars in revenue, you are probably gonna spend too much money on a breach of contract suit to make it worth your while.

    If you bought it on Ebay, yes, technically it is a binding contract.... What was the final price at the auction end.... You did make some type of payment in order to close the auction or be the high bidder correct?

    Re: Need a lawyer to help me with buying a site.

    Generally speaking (if it wasn't on eBay) -- you would not have a case:

    consideration (the exchange of something of value for the expected delivery of the good) is a mandatory component of an enforceable contract.
