Dead Beat Buyers, I hate them.
From those agreeing in an email to buy a domain for a set price then to just refuse to follow through, to those that actually set up a Escrow.com transaction to buy a domain name even agree to the transaction, but never fund it, to those that agree to buy a domain for a price only to come back sometime later with an offer to still buy the domain but at a lower price than they agreed to originally.
All you have in business is your word, so if you agree to buy something then buy it.
If you set up an escrow.com transaction to buy a domain then fund it.
If you agree to buy a domain for $10,000 don’t come back with a $5,000 offer a month later.
Deadbeats, game players, people that go back on their word or as Francois from Domaining.com point out maybe they just changed their mind.
Personally I’m sick of it.
I want this to be the go to post for anyone in the industry that has ever had a dead beat buyer in the same fashion as Rick Schwartz blog post on RDNH which he updates every time a UDRP panel finds someone guilty of Reverse Domain Hijacking.
Some readers suggested that we should only mention the name and email address of the person and to withhold any further information like address or phone numbers. We have considered the readers position and removed everything but the name and email address of the “buyer” both from our post and the comments.
If you have such a person, company, buyer who has engaged in this behavior you may post a comment but you are responsible for your comment, again please only give the name and email address of the “buyer” and the domain.
This post hopefully will serve as a warning to all game players, buyers who offer to buy domains without having the money to buy or anyone else who tries to back out of a deal.
In the meantime here are just a few of my dead beat buyers in no particular order, it will be updated as we receive more information and comments.
If your on the list and have something to say feel free all responses and comments will be published.
