Devil's advocate? Yeah, I've been known to play the roll once in a while.
More importantly when I get ripped off by a would-be customer, I react very
badly. What I see here is this: I've shown several reasons that I consider
us to be resellers (http://RESELLERS.opensrs.org) should just about clinch
it, eh? Either way, perhaps I am on the losing side of this argument, and
perhaps in the long run, it won't really affect me personally. The size
that I'm at, I deal mainly in cash anyhow, and primarily I know the person
buying the name prior to the transaction anyway, and generally my friends
won't try to screw me out of $15CDN.
That being said, once appropriate paperwork does come down, I have a hard
time explaining to myself why I should be liable for paying for a domain
that my customer broke his agreement on payment for. I understand that it's
not a refundable charge (From NSI, or from OpenSRS), and I certainly don't
feel it's any better to ask OpenSRS to take the burden of nonpayment upon
themselves either). All I want is some odds, no matter how tiny, of making
back the money on that domain. If I have control of it myself, I might just
be able to sell it for $5, then on next year's renewal of $15, I'll finally
have broken even.
Perhaps another quick paragraph in the terms and conditions of the end user,
one that would say (In legalese) "If the customer refuses to promptly pay
for the domain name purchased, or disputes the credit card charge, then it
will return to the control of the RSP, upon the RSP submitting the
appropriate documentation"
Shouldn't a clause like that effectively prevent this from being an issue,
it would give OpenSRS the authority to transfer the domain in a non-payment
situation? What are the issues involved with something like this? I've
seen it touched on during this discussion, but never really analyzed as far
as this thread has gone.
