Great news MHB. Everything went through. It wasn’t easy, and I may have lost some hair, but the check has been processed and is on the way.

Thanks again for the replies. At this point I’ll expect the worst. Hopefully it all works out, but I have very little hope after what I have read here. Thanks for all of your help and insight.

I Understand, which is why I wrote the post in the first place.

On the other side there is the potential buyers who believe that when they pay Net Sol the $20 or $70 per offer, they have some magical way of getting the owners of the domain to accept there $100 offers because its a “Certified Offer” from Network Solutions.

It pretty much a lose/ lose situation as far as I can tell for both Buyers and Sellers

MHB – Thanks, but wow very disappointing. The money would have made a huge difference and I mean huge in my life.

You not making an assumption based on air, your rightly making assumptions from the e-mails your receiving from Net Sol, which indicate that you have a firm deal, when you do not.

Its not your fault it’s their fault.

Andrew, I found your article on google search and wound up leaving a comment lol.
MHB – Yeah, it has been very frustrating. I just assumed it was a done deal and now all of the sudden the buyer needs to fill out “tax paperwork.” I mean it may be true, yet regardless it is far from the certified offer I thought I was getting.

I think the NSI e-mail that they have an agreement to buy your domain is meaningless.

The buyer as far as I can tell on that platform has full rights not to follow through with their offer with no downside.

I was wondering if someone who has completed this process could email me? I have some questions and am in desperate need of help. Thanks.

@ Eric – it’s far from certified. Here was my experience

I am having some issues now regarding a recent transaction. I received an offer for $500 on Thursday for one of my domains. I countered with $25,000 and the offer was accepted by the buyer. I am now told that NS is waiting for tax information from the buyer before they proceed with the transaction. I don’t get it. I assumed that “certified” meant that they had all of the information they needed intact in order for the two of us to make a transaction. I am starting to get worried that this whole thing is going to fall apart. Any thoughts on this latest news?
