Problem
Buying domain names from private sellers carries the risk of paying before the transfer is completed, leaving buyers vulnerable to fraud or failed transactions. Traditional escrow services often charge additional fees, adding to the cost of an already expensive purchase.
Solution
Nameshift.com provides a secure domain escrow service that protects buyers by holding payment until the domain transfer is successfully completed. The platform ensures a smooth transfer process and, if the transfer cannot be completed, the buyer receives a full refund. Unlike many competitors, the service is completely free for buyers—the seller covers the commission—so the only cost to the buyer is the agreed purchase price. Nameshift.com also includes free domain transfer assistance and provides a free VAT invoice via email for record-keeping.
