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?Imagination is more important than knowledge.

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.Imagination is more important than knowledge.

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)
