    Got an enquiry so asked for their best and final offer. Sale agreed at £4000

    They've also picked up the .com from Sedo for $10,000

    Cheers guys, helps when you've got a serious buyer!

    He insisted on Escrow and after my first time using it I must say I was disappointed by the lack of GBP transfer. We did Euro in the end with them picking up the Escrow fee.

    Because the domain was on Sedo as well as my own landing page Sedo wanted 15% purely to handle the Escrow transaction!

    Obviously as the buyer was paying the fee they baulked at that!

    Ah. Not the external 3% fee. I presume the buyer didn't find you through sedo?

    I'm wondering if anyone has tried EscrowHill.com as they claim to support GBP.

    No the buyer came to the domain direct.

    Caught out by the

    There are some GBP services but not very well known. This makes it a risk for the buyer and in this case they weren't convinced!

    Assume you might mean Transpact. EscrowHill is operated by someone who worked for Escrow.com for many years apparently. I haven't found anyone who's used them yet.

    I did indeed mean Transpact, the name just escaped me! I've registered an account with them now at least!

    I was lucky to grab it! I missed it the first time he listed it but grabbed it the second time.

    It failed to get a single bid when I put it on domainlore but I just liked the name.

    Previously I'd touted the name out to people offering virtual assistant services so it's going to be interesting to see what the new owner does with it. I have asked but they've not revealed!
