First time selling a domain name
I have never sold a domain name before, and would appreciate some help with the nuts and bolts of it...
I have received an offer ($100.00) on one of my domain names, which I originally registered at EV1servers (tucows reseller). The buyer can pay with Paypal, but this will be his first domain purchase also.
I'm thinking that, after I receive payment, I could change all of the domain info (Organization, Technical, Billing, DNS, etc.)to the buyers', which would allow him to initiate a transfer to wherever he wants.
Am I on the right track, or is there a better way? I sent an email to ThePlanet who assumed EV1servers a while back, but have not yet received a response. I also performed a search here, but did not find a thread that was specific to my situation.
Thanks,
Bob

Actually, I think if you change the WHOIS contact info it locks the domain, preventing transfers for 60 days. Can someone confirm this?
If it's a different registrar, I'd probably tell the buyer to initiate a transfer request at his registrar. You (assuming you're the admin contact) should get an email to confirm or deny the transfer. The domain cannot be in lock status though for a transfer to work.
If it's within the same registrar you can often do a free "push" to their account.[Lurking Glass] <- Not a webhost.

Haven't used ev1 domain names. Since it is a tucows reseller you should be able to have them create an account and transfer it. If not, having them initiate a transfer from another registrar and authorizing it is an ok way to go.
