Please go easy on me. ;)
I started out picking up a few domains to go along with some sites I'm developing, but now I've caught the domain harvesting bug.
1) What are your personal preferred ways to handle transactions? Escrow.com? Or do you use the escrow service of whatever company you're parking with? (I'm currently parking with NameDrive and Sedo.) Or do you use other methods for transactions?
What's the most secure and cost-effective escrow service or alternative?
2) What are the specifics of the 60-day limitation on domain transfers? Is that limitation only placed on domains using WHOIS privacy options or all new registrations? Or is it a limitation only placed by certain registrars?
Is there any way through Whois lookups or another method to determine whether a certain domains falls within that 60-day no-transfer period?
For domains that fall within a 60-day no-transfer restriction, is there any way around it with fees or legal paperwork?
Any advice is appreciated.
