    Hi,
    I talk with someone in MSN messenger (I have logs),
    And we deal that I send me 2 domains and he pay me to paypal,
    I pushed him the 2 domain, then he go away from MSN.
    I have logs for our conversion.
    The domains registered in Godaddy.

    Who can help me with this issue?

    Many thanks, Haviv.

    Godaddy may be able to help you with the situation. Have you contacted them?

    Sure,
    They answer me:
    "Thank you for your email. It appears that you have a 3rd party agreement between yourself and the buyer. We are not able to become involved in this dispute."

    Regards.

    What they expect? How I can do the transfer in their way? I really don't understand.

    Godaddy won't be involved in this case as you have agreed to transfer the domain.

    when selling domains and sites, you are pretty much guaranteed to get scammed sooner or later, especially if you don't take precautions. Learn from this, and move on, hopefully it will help you in future. Always get the money before giving the person the domains is pretty much lesson #1.

    I would advise just taking this as the lesson that it is, and not chasing it - you're unlikely to get it back, and will only waste a lot of time. You could try to get the domain banned on Google so at least the scammer doesn't get anything out of it (click bombing if he has adsense on it for example), but again it would be a waste of your time.

    Answer: No, you won't get back your domains. If the cheat updates whois database with his real details, try using services like reverse email checkup and reverse phone look-up to track and reach to him. Unless the domains are high valued domains, it is simply waste of time. Just move on. Godaddy will never help you out in this situation.

    Same situation, my first trade on DP I was scammed like this, however unlike you I sent a very nice appeal letter, praising Godaddy and stuff, you can also try to say that the transfer was illegal but unfortunately you have already said you have transfer the domain yourself. Who is the scammer anyway?

    Unfortunately that won't since the OP already told Go Daddy s/he voluntarily transferred the domain name/s to the other party.

    I'm unclear about something here. Did the OP actually give the domain name/s to the other party before receiving payment? Or what exactly?

    I am afraid nothing can be done here. No Registrar is responsible for private sales. Godaddy has a MarketPlace- why didn't you use it? You'd pay a small fee, but your deal would be secured.

    But I think you need to contact GD support anyway - there is a chance the guy was involved in another scam and GD will have to take actions.

    If you paid with PayPal you can always file a dispute with them.
