All prices are in US currency. Simply because credit card charges can unfortunately be easily reversed after the transfer of a Domain Name. URLMerchant has instituted this policy for the security of both the Domain Name Seller and itself. So as not to scare off potential Buyers with a high or out of date asking prices.
Most names sell for less than the asking price through the process of negotiation.
URLMerchant facilitates and conducts negotiations between Buyers and Sellers. URLMerchant will under no circumstances release a Buyers' funds to a Seller until a Domain Name has been successfully transferred. Buyer funds will be refunded in whole if a Domain Name is not transferred - no fees are deducted for failed or aborted Domain Name transfers. InterNIC requires a renewal of their registration fee when Domain Names are transferred to a new owner. If you don't make a counter offer and try to negotiate an agreeable price, then you won't get the name you want.
