i believe that auctions where you get to choose an item are against one of ebays many rules, but it's not really a problem unless someone rats on you. When selling on ebay how do you broach the subject of who pays the nominet tranfer fee? I dont see anything about it in the ads, and those...

I read on the net that when selling a domain on eBay, if you mention that the name has been appraised and valued/estimated at *** then you have to show a copy of the report or certificate or whatever that states that. However, I cannot see this in eBay’s rules. Does anybody know if this is...

Thanks both for that, that's a majorly wicked site texidriver. as a bonus, thanks to gwybodiadur.worldonline.co.uk/phrases.htm I now know what Dal ati!, Daliwch ati! means too. Cool thanks. If I keep learning stuff at this rate i'm scared my head will explode. :eek:

newb question again sorry. when you search nominet for info on a .co.uk you get a contact name for the domain, but not when you search verisign for a .com. how do you find contact details for a .com? I undertand that it can be a big mistake in some cases to contact owners of a domain...

the micr0soft operating system XP mediacenter edition is basically XP but with a fancy 'buy movies now' media center added where you buy films. I'm sure in a couple of years it will be a lot bigger, but then pc's & tv's are integrating too, so maybe PC's will dissapear? Anyway, nice domain...

Excellent explanation, thanks, I did think that 'and' was a bit ambiguous, Nominet obviously agreed. I'll have to make sure to read up on some more up to date and relevant examples.

probably a stupid question but i'm trying to get my head around some stuff ... in this quote from a N.A.F hearing “Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy provides that, to justify transfer of a domain name, a complainant must prove that …: (3) the domain name has been registered and used in bad...

thankyou. that was quite a gripping read. I thought the respondant was going to get away with it for a while. Justice prevails eh? or not... depends on your view of these things i suppose.

there's so much free stuff out there that i bet adult sites find it hard to get anyone to pay for anything, hence the low ppc. perhapse? not that i'd know anything about it of course...ahem.

wow domaingenius, you must have big cajonies, i'd carp myself if some big company started on me. Some people thrive for conflict but I like a quiet life myself, i can do without the stress. Still i suppose it is nice to mix things up a bit now and then.

The other day, an friend who knows I’m interested in domains told me he’d seen some rather startling domains available. I checked it out myself later on a different domain search (ukreg.co.uk) & they did seem available. They were all typo’s of eBay, I even checked their O.V, which they all had...

Just trying to get my head around this In theory, if I had a company called DriveCampers selling camper vans on drivecampers.com, but I had no trademark registered for DriveCampers or drivecampers.com. Does this mean that anyone can set up a site selling campers on drivecampers.co.uk with...

Actually I will say, as I think it’s quite an interesting case, though I risk coming across a bit chicken-little, over-reacting the other day on what I now believe isn’t really a hot potato at all, (and is probably a reg-fee name anyway). The domain is www.EasySafari.co.uk and the reason I...

Wise words aqls, many thanks. It's probably not that much of a hot potato anyway (i hope), think i'll sit on it for a little longer and have a think. domaingenius: thanks for the offer, if i can't think of a way to turn this ill let you know what it is & see if you want it. 3 cats: Sounds...

Due to a recent trademark descision, on reflection, i probably shouldn't have regged one of my domains. The domain is parked and has no trafic, I regged it for developing but now I think perhaps not. If I wanted to surrender it to avoid any possile future unplesantness, is it generally...
