    Hello dpers
    Last weeks I am trying to get rid most of my sites in order to keep focus on 2-3 big sites and develop them more.
    On wednesday, i have put for sale my celebrity blog www.mycelebnews.com
    ste_fun was the winner (in sitepoint, but he has an account here too). He paid me via paypal with a verified account, i have pushed the domain to his godaddy account and then i got a mail from paypal that the money of that transaction are on hold. I've tried to contact him 2-3 times but no luck.

    I have contacted godaddy.com , paypal.com and wipo.int (as godaddy suggested)

    Anything I can do about it? Suggestions are welcomed!

    ps. It's not for the money, it wasn't that much, but I hate when ppl are trying to scam others.

    I will never trust paypal services for things like this

    I would say go look for him.

    They could be thousands of miles away in Guam or Semolina. Even if it where for $10. I would be hell bent on getting my money back nothing would be able to stop me. Heh :)


    Also, make sure you actually deposit the funds into your bank account before you transfer anything. That's the golden rule.
