How to avoid buying black rice during domain name trading?

How to avoid buying a black domain name?

1. Look at the sales channel and sales attitude.

A lot of black rice, sellers will not sell through formal channels, and often sell in QQ groups, WeChat groups, domain name forums and other places with a huge amount of information. And, I'll be sure to tell you: I've been running out of money lately, and I'm selling at a low price, and that's the only time I've been selling on the same day.

When you ask him why he doesn't sell through formal channels, he will tell you: I don't want to pay a fee.

It is recommended that for domain names with a high amount, through the "domain name intermediary" function of the professional domain name trading platform, the trading platform will charge a certain handling fee, but will investigate both sides of the transaction to ensure that the buyer does not buy black rice.

There is a greater risk in privately trading domain names, especially for domain name transactions with large amounts, and in order to save about 3% of the transaction fee, you may lose more. Even if you want to trade a domain name privately, the buyer must do a detailed background check on whether the domain name is Heimi, such as the seller's domain name**, screenshots of the transaction details of the registration renewal, etc., and it is especially important that for transactions with large amounts, the seller must be required to be a real identity transaction.

You need to make sure that the name of the receiving card of the seller is the same as the information of his ID card, and the owner of the domain name in the domain name WHOIS information. It is best to ask the seller to provide a photo with an ID card in hand. For thieves who steal rice, they are weak in heart and generally do not dare to provide similar real-name names, and they are trading through false identities.

At present, there are a number of domain name trading platforms in China, such as the more well-known ones: Renaming, Western Digital, Corn Network and other platforms. Although these platforms cannot completely eliminate black rice, but at least one more layer of security, the trading platform will verify the identity information of the seller, and at the same time will review the incoming domain names, and review abnormal transactions generally support com, top, cn and other domain name transactions.

2 Look at the pricing. Most of the sales of black rice are lower than the market. Because of being a thief, it is impossible for Heimi to stay in his own hands for too long, and after a long time, everyone will definitely find out.

So it's generally a low price sell-off. Buyers are advised not to leave anything to chance, but also to avoid greed.

3. Look at the domain name**.

At present, foreign platforms GoDaddy and Enom have more black rice flowing into China, so be more careful about the domain names of these two platforms that are the original registrars! The main reason is that these two platforms have a long history, there are many good domain names, and they are also paid attention to by hackers. However, GoDaddy does not have a second identity verification by default, and hackers can enter other users' accounts by credential stuffing or cracking email passwords, and then modify the whois information of the domain name to obtain the transfer password.

In this regard, domestic platforms are relatively perfect, and generally require SMS verification or password verification and other measures for transferring out domain names to prevent the possibility of domain name theft due to account password leakage.

If the above three points are all in line with or very close, then you should be extremely careful to watch out for points. In the actual transaction process, as a buyer, you also have to be careful: don't take chances, and avoid greed.
