    Question Looking for a trusted Escrow

    Hey guys,

    I own a hot domain name that I intend to list on GreatDomains.com. They do the escrow service and charge 10% of the sale price. Is that the right choice?

    Another point. I live in Egypt, very faraway from them. Do you think that they might think of me as a helpless victim and steal my domain name. I know it may sound funny but I am really feeling nervous about transferring my domain name without getting the money.

    Is there any danger or do I have some paranoia?
    Please help..

    GreatDomains is operated by Verisign so definitely reputable. They do have limitations for accepting domains; you should send them your domain request and they will let you know if it is acceptable or not.

    I know what you mean by that, but still there shouldn't be any problem using GreatDOmains.

    I personally think that GreatDomains is more reputable than escrow.com. They do offer secure Escrow Services.

    kpsservices,

    Was that a joke about Registerfly?

    Thank you guys for your help.
    But the main question is: Is it safe to deal with GreatDomains as an escrow service while I live in Egypt (a little bit far from them)
    without fearing that they might steal my domain.

    if a company was to steal your domain name because you're in egypt, they wouldn't be able to stay in business long enough for people to be able to recommend them here. I think you are safe.

    BigHack,

    You should not worry about that. GreatDomains will do their job well I am sure.

    if greatdomains doesn't accept your name to be listed (they are picky only good domains get listed) try using sedo.com they list everything and they charge 3% and they support all countires in the world paying by wire transfer (including countries banned by US ministry of commerce)
