I can’t thank Escrow.com<\/strong><\/a> enough for salvaging a domain sale for me, recently.<\/p>\n

It all started with an agreed upon sale via the Uniregistry Market. The domain, a single word .ORG, was sold to a Chinese buyer who then disappeared once I started escrow.<\/p>\n

Communications via the Uniregistry messaging system rendered the occasional response, affirming the buyer’s intentions to proceed with payment, but not completing the escrow process, and days went by.<\/p>\n

There was no language barrier, as the Hong Kong based buyer seemed to be fluid in English. The phone numbers provided were contacted by Escrow.com to assist with the verification process but nobody would pick up.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the escrow timed out, and I gave up hope on a nice sale that’d buy me 1\/2 a Bitcoin at the time. I canceled the transaction at the Uniregistry Market, and was preparing to request their blocking as a deadbeat buyer, when they reached out again.<\/p>\n

I asked Escrow.com to try one more time to establish contact via the phone, and they did. Leat Ahrony speaks Mandarin, and she said the buyer really “opened up” once she talked to them in their native language, although their command of English was equally good.<\/p>\n

The new escrow closed in no time, and the buyer even thanked me for such a quick transaction – a bit ironic, since I “chased” them for three weeks.<\/p>\n

Even for experienced domain investors, patience can run short, and I am grateful to Escrow.com, Leat and the other Escrow.com personnel involved, for helping close this sale for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
