Problems getting folks to take their domains! - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

Is anyone else having this problem?

Over the past 4 weeks I have sold a fair number of domains, to probably a dozen different people. However, the majority of these domains have STILL not been claimed by their owners - offers to authorize pulls etc don't seem to be acted upon.

It is a weird situation - I've received the money, but they haven't taken their domains, even after 4 or 5 PMs and emails and replies along the lines of "oh, yeah - sorry - must get to that".

If you've got numerous domains on your "books", you want to get them off ASAP, right, once sold.... I just get a bit annoyed with this issue. I have a mind to tell people that if they DON'T claim their domains within X days, then they forfeit them, but I get to keep the money.

Any thoughts or comments??

Agree, and this has come up before! My running count right now is twelve (12) ... domains that have been paid-in-full, but the buyer(s) has (have) not yet "pulled" to his/her account(s). I don't get it, either. I thought perhaps this new, proposed "Auction Domain Manager" thing might help to facilitate this process ... but I can't get anyone from the old regime to address the thread that they started on the subject. I don't get that, either!

Good Luck. Please let me know how you make out.

I currently have 6 names that have not been claimed for one reason or another and have been paid in full. I like this business: PAYMEWITHNODELIVERY.COM. Do you guys want to set up an LLC?

I think I was one of the buyers that abadoned one of the domains I bought with you.

In the auction, 15 seconds is not a lot of time to read the info about a domain, research the market, and make a desicion on a name. I bid $3 but couldn't justify the renewal fee on top of it.

That's

, RJ (I think you're talking to GPH, though)! As long as everyone is paid up, I guess there are probably better things to worry about, on second thought.
Have fun!

Actually -RJ- - you were the only one who specifically emailed me to tell me that you were doing so - which I appreciated. It's the other guys who haven't done so that I'm really talking about.
