I'm about of being cheated.

So, I'm "buying" a domain from a guy using escrow.com.
The domain is in eNom.
I sent the payment, the payment was approved.
They asked the seller to send the domain and I provided the seller with my account enom to push the name.
Now, the name shows my registrant information but it is not in my account.
I guess he got my registration data from the domain in my email account.

I don't want to think bad right away, the guy is an eNom reseller and from what I know have lots of domains, so seems somehow "respectable".

What should I do ?

Biggest flaw in escrow is that a "seller" can just change the contact info to your contacts .. the tell escrow name was pushed .. so then escrow releases the money.

I would contact escrow immediately and say that you have not received the domain and that the seller only changed the contact information. Then offcourse the seller can say the same thing ... so you need to call them right away instead of just sending an email.

have you tried logging out and then back in to your account?
Sometimes they don't show up until you do this

JEsports, thanks for the advise, I sent an email, but I'm going to call them.

VirtualIT, you're right ! It showed up after I loged out and in again.

But still something is strange. The domain registration has typos in my address.
Looks like he change the data before the transfer.

Just a question, if he is a eNom reseller, does he have "power" to take the domain away from me ?

 

[VirtualT]

no, but make sure you change the access password for the domain

 

[fischermx]

Which "access password" for the domain?
I just know my account/password for my account where I have several domains on eNom.
The domain was pushed to this account, the account I've been always using. Is the domain somehow still tied to the prior account, or just didn't get it ?

 

[VirtualT]

no, under the general settings for the domain you can specify an access password where through a web interface you can change things like dns, email and whois info.
I think by default, the password is not changed during a push.

 

[fischermx]

Ohh, I see. The access password is the feature that allows you modify DNS and other technical settings, right?
Ok, I changed it just in case.

 

[duskdawn]

I suggest you transfer the name out. As a domainer it is uncomfortable being under other domain resellers.
Well, maybe it's just me.

So, it's possible for a reseller to get a domain back to him after pushing it out to my own account?
