What to watch for.
WHAT SHOULD MAKE YOU CAUTIOUS
A valuable name at an implausibly low price A seller asking to complete privately Pressure to act immediately A description with claims that cannot be checked A seller unwilling to answer straightforward questions
THE LOW PRICE POINT
An unusually cheap valuable name is usually a name the seller does not control.
THE PRIVATE COMPLETION REQUEST
The clearest warning there is.
It breaches the rules and removes every protection.
WHAT ELSE TO CHECK
Whether the name resembles an established brand Whether the description is copied Whether the seller profile is empty
WHAT TO DO
Do not proceed Report the listing
WHAT NOT TO DO
Contact the seller privately to investigate Send money to see what happens
WHERE TO REPORT
Open a ticket with the listing reference and what concerned you.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN
It is reviewed.
