    When you want to give your domain to someone, it can be done in either of the following ways:

    1. Transfer the domain - Transfer occurs from one registrar to another registrar in which the other registrar will charge the transfer cost.

    2. Change of account- Change of account occurs between the same registrar (if they support this feature) and is absolutely free. You can ask the other person interested in your domain to register a account with your registrar and then following the change of account instructions to complete the process.

    BTW, google checkout is not concerned with all this. Let me know if you face any problems.

    just contact the company through which you registered a domain at Enom or a new registrar and they will explain everything for you in detail.

    Be very careful if you use PayPal. After the transfer the new owner could do a PayPal chargeback leaving you without the domain and without the money.

    Domain transferring is a multi-step but easy process. The steps involved are described below.


    Step 1: User adds the domains that needs to be transferred and completes checkout
    Step 2: If EPP Key (Authorization Key) is required, then an email with EPP request is sent. You can also enter the EPP key by going to My Account > Manager Transfers and clicking on the domain just after completing the order without waiting. (To obtain an EPP key, please contact your current registrar.)
    Step 3: If Step 2 is completed or not required, then the domain is submitted for transfer.
    Step 4: An email containing a link is sent to 'Administrator Email' for the domain.
    Step 5: If user click on the link and approves the transfer, the domain name is transferred to Us.
    Step 6: If the domain named is 'locked' at the losing registrar, the registrar lock should be removed before proceeding with the transfer. An email is sent if the lock needs to be removed.
    Step 7: When the domain is unlocked, the transfer completes successfully

    1. contact current registrar and ask them for the EPP (authorization key) and ask them to unlock your domain
    2. Go to new registrar and place the domain transfer order (you will need to enter EPP key here)
    3. Pay the bill and your transfer will be initiated. you will just need to approve the emails regarding to authorizing the transfer that you receive at the registrant email address.
    4. This transfer process may take 7 business days to complete.

    Note: your domain must be active and at least 60 days old. (60 days after registration or renewal)

    the problem is when do you transfer the domain..before getting the payment from the buyer or after it..so it is always advisable to go in for an escrow service..

    It is very easy to transfer a domain between account at Enom. Have the buyer open an account at Enom and "push" the domain from your site to the buyers account. (Instructions can be found at Enom.)

    The most used domain register here at dp is GoDaddy. Almost everyone has a domain name at godaddy, and it's easy to transfer domain names between accounts.

    But what register are you using?

    It's mostly just obtaining the EPP (authorization code of domain) from your current registrar, and e-mailing that to your new one, and the process can begin. -Yes, you will need to probably fill out a form and such from the new registrar, but if you contact them, they will give you the details.

    Even if the domain is with the same registrar..there is still a risk involved in the transaction..just note that you have no proof of any monetary deal between you and the buyer..so, better safe than sorry
