Questions and answers
How does buying dud.co.za work?
You agree on a price with the owner. The owner then sends you payment details and transfers the domain once payment is received. The transaction takes place directly between you and the owner.
Can I secure the purchase?
Yes. Arrange an escrow with the owner. We then hold the money until the transfer.
How long does the transfer take?
Usually a few days after payment. There is no auth code for this extension: your registrar requests the transfer and the current owner acknowledges it (transfer ack).
Can I negotiate the price?
Yes. Simply propose your price. The owner accepts, declines or makes a counter-offer.
Can I use the domain immediately?
Yes, right after the transfer. With lease-to-own even from the first payment. The domain then redirects to your website.
