eBay domainer doesn’t care about his reputation
Some eBay sellers have no business ethics.
We received an email from a fellow domainer, who described his experience with an eBay domain seller.
After winning two domain auctions, the seller refused to hand over the domains after payment.
Says the auctions’ winner:
“I was looking thru the ebay listings yesterday and came across 2 from the same seller: knightlycorp. The guys was selling 2 names: narrators.com and bankloans.biz. The starting bids were $100 and $20. I was the only bidder on bankloans.biz and the 2nd on narrators.com, which I won for $111.50.”
The winner paid promptly for both domains and then received this notice from the seller:
“Sorry, these domains were listed on multiple marketplaces and they sold on another one (narrators.com and bankloans.biz). A refund has been issued to you and the domains have been delisted.”
After a bit of investigation, it seems that the seller simply did not want to sell the domains at such a low price, thus violating eBay rules.
The winner left him a justified negative feedback, but obviously that won’t stop the seller from pulling this off again. The domains are still with the seller and have not changed ownership.

Hi Lucius.
Thanks for bringing this issue up.
The only thing you didn’t mention is that it is a russian domainer who got screwed.
Too bad I’m not Sergei Putanov: otherwise I’d break this guy’s leg
Ponimaesh?
On the side note: I did call Ebay Trust and Safety department, so hopefully they’ll ban this ‘urlventure.com’
guy.
I don’t get it, domainers squat on domains, I hardly think they care about their reputations or they would do something else. In the grocery store I saw a new toilet cleaner that cleans scum, dirt, grime and domainers off the toilet bowl.
Roma – Glad to hear you took some action.
Ricky – Since you don’t get it, ask your mom – she uses that toilet cleaner a lot around your house, picking up after your cruddy stuff but she never complains, poor woman.
