Not sure what direction you are going in, but you may want to contact someone at PayPal to discuss their policies. PayPal will not refund nor investigate a domain name sale issue because of PayPal's "intangible" (non-tangible) policies.

This has been their policy for a long as I can remember.

If they do not investigate...if they do not refund...then why do they accept payment for such goods?

As a facilitator of payment for goods, one would think that there should (or would be) some accountability. I know it is hard to prove non-receipt of intangible goods (downloadable program, ebook, domain name). But to not even investigate?

One would think that if the claimant stated they did not receive the product then the burden of proof would shift to the seller side. Totally whacked from a tort point of view. The total opposite.

Still, it may be worthwhile to speak to someone at PayPal. Changing or adopting a new policy similar to escrow.com (both parties are satisfied before funds are released) would offer some assurances. PayPal could benefit even more if such a policy were adopted.

Just a thought.
I'm aware issues exist in transfering funds between parties during DN sales, it's outside my current research.

when they get backordered, auctioned and paid for, then they fit your criteria.
others would be names that are flipped back and forth among resellers
i would say a little more than 60% of LLL/LL or NNN/NN .com .net .org and .info domains would probably fit that category also
you can go back and read some old threads from 2002 to the present, to guage the increases in prices overtime for those type of names
There are several issues here:
  • Organisational management and recognition of Domains.
  • Transfer between resellers.
  • Transfer between reseller and enduser.
  • Most importantly, method of data collection.
Example of what I need: Seller, registered the domain xxxx.xxx for $XX in whatever year, they have a reciept as prove IF needed. They sold the domain for $whatever to an enduser in ?? year, and have evidence IF needed.

I'm aware of these, they don't mention reg fee which makes things very difficult!
