Confirm the name
Check the exact spelling, extension, and any similar names a visitor might confuse it with. Read it aloud. Type it on a phone. A memorable domain should survive ordinary use, not just look good in a mockup.
Confirm the rights
Ask for evidence that the seller controls the domain. Review relevant trademark and brand conflicts with qualified counsel where appropriate. A marketplace listing alone is not proof of title or freedom to use a name.
Agree on the transaction path
Document the agreed price, payment method, transfer steps, and timing before sending money. Consider a reputable escrow service for valuable domains. Confirm the destination registrar account is ready to receive the transfer.
