Sold a Domain: Still in my Account

    I sold a domain yesterday, and have been paid for it. I have Bravenet, 7 other domains, and can build 10 websites on my account. I changed the contact information and nameservers, the buyer has already started building her website. The problem is the domain is still under my account. Now, I am confused. Should I put the domain contact information back in my name then have the buyer start a domain register transfer so I can get it out of my account?
    I'm beginning to feel like the buyer might be able to access my personal account (though I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid). But I really don't know what to do to get the name out of my account and to give it to her completely.

    Thanks in advance,

    Charisse

    Push it to the buyers account at your domain registrar, and let them transfer it out.

    It didn't have a push option, but I found a nifty thing called a transfer password. I gave that to the buyer and now the domain has left my account, and I think I've been bitten by a "buy a cheap domain name and resell it for lots more than you bought it for" bug.

    :)

    Thanks for the help,
