What is the best way to go about protecting myself when buying a website? ive heard using paypal is not the best option. Which payment processor is safest for this transaction?
That is not true!!!!! Paypal is not the best!!!! if there is not tangible goods exchange paypal WILL NOT REVERSE your money for any reason. this is 100% a fact.
when you buy website, make a agreement between you and the seller. also use Escow payment methord which is safer. but PayPal also good because you can claming the money back they the seller cheat you. good luck
1. Buy from people you trust. 2. Make sure you have asked all your questions before the sale is complete. 3. If the site is worth enough money, do it through escrow. 4. Do your due diligence and verify the sellers claims about traffic and revenue.
Use websites like Digital Point and Site Point to let people know your selling the site. I would personally use PayPal.
Check Rep + ITrader And Join Date. Ask For Proof Of Owning The Domain (Shot Of Domain Registras Account Management Screen) Get Them To Put A Message In The Source. <!-- Comment Here Wont Show Unless You View Source. --> This Is A Good Way To Make Sure They Own The Site They Claim.

That Way Its %99.99 Its There Site Because There Is A Lot Of Scam's where The Real Seller Will Make A Thread On Say SitePoint And Someone Will Copy And Paste It Here Take The Money And Run.
If there is no trust or large amounts of money involved then you should use something like escrow.com
