    that has nothng to do with the whois data
    but with the registrar - where YOU hve your domain purchased - for example networksolutions.com
    there you might find in your registrants account page a link to change ownership/name of the registrant

    contact YOUR registrar's website and read his procedure to transfer from one owner to another

    YOU are registrant
    the one who registered the domain is registrar

    you also may have to see who is your admin contact for your domain - you or your registrar

    Never heard of them. Have you tried e-mailing their support about an ownership change within the registrar? They may not even support that and your only option will be to transfer out to another registrar and then push it to the buyer there.

    You can initiate the transfer at the registrar of your choice. It will cost you around the price of a one year registration though as it adds a year onto the registration of the name.

    I know DomainSite and NameCheap both accept PayPal. Try one of them. I'm not sure if you need to pay via a credit card or not though.

    if you only have one domain there . . . just give him your username and password . . .

    make sure to change all personal information you dont want to give out ESP cc #.
