While I’m known for engaging in fast domain sales, particularly via Sedo, some buyers just take their time to complete their part of the transaction.<\/p>\n

One such example I witnessed yesterday.<\/p>\n

I use DomainTools’ alerts to see what goes in and out of Sedo escrow on a daily basis, and a domain I sold in December popped up.<\/p>\n

At first I thought the domain was resold by its buyer, but then I looked up its history using DomainTools.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently, the buyer wanted to transfer the domain out to a new registrar, as part of the transaction. Obviously, my part of the deal ended when I pushed it to the Sedo account with Fabulous. Sedo then informed the buyer to transfer the domain out to GoDaddy, and the buyer took their sweet time to do so.<\/p>\n

Five months later, the domain is in the hands of the buyer. Judging by the amount of traffic the domain had when it was in my possession, at least $300 in PPC revenue was lost in the meantime.<\/p>\n

As the buyer, it’s important to keep track of your transactions and outgoing transfers, or you might end up losing domains this way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
