Domain Front-running
If you are searching for a good domain name, be careful who you use to do searches.
In the past, it has been confirmed that certain registrars would analyze domain searches. If they decided enough searches had been made for a domain name, they would register it themselves.
The purpose of this is to resell the popular domain to the user who searched for it, or auction it to all users. This greatly increased the cost of domain registration for popular domain names.
This is called front-running.
Definition.
From Wikipedia,
Domain name front running is the practice whereby a domain name registrar uses insider information to register domains for the purpose of re-selling them or earning revenue via ads placed on the domain’s landing page. By registering the domains, the registrar locks out other potential registrars from selling the domain to a customer. The registrar typically takes advantage of the 5-day “domain tasting” trial period, where the domain can be locked without payment.
The term was created by domain investor and retired stockbroker Daniel Stager who likened the practice to front running, when a stockbroker illegally puts their own financial interests above that of their clients. ICANN has since picked up on the practice [1]
In January 2008 it was reported that Network Solutions uses data collected from their web-based WHOIS search to register every domain that users check for availability.[2] Although the practice forces users to register the searched-for domains from Network Solutions, Network Solutions defends the practice, claiming that “This protection measure provides our customers the opportunity to register domains they have previously searched without the fear that the name will be already taken through Front Running.”[3] However, during the 4 day period the domain is still up for sale to the general public solely through Network Solutions and is not, in fact, reserved for a specific person at all.
In June 2008, Network Solutions proposed a small fee for domain tasting, in part to end the practice of domain name front running.
Domain name lookup to avoid.
It has been claimed that GoDaddy does this. They will register a domain name that has been searched and then offer it for resale as a premium domain name. Of course, Network Solutions does this.
As far as I know, NameCheap doesn’t do this. But, if you ever do a domain name search, and later discover the name you wanted is taken, you may be a victim of front-running.

How to fight a chargeback
Preparation.
When someone does a chargeback, check the transaction for a valid AVS, CVV2. Get the IP address for the ISP and location information. If everything is in order, send a registered letter with return receipt to the customer (who did the chargeback) explaining you’re from the loss prevention department of company X.
Your letter should state this is an investigation of a potentially fraudulent chargeback. The letter explains the validity of the transaction. It states, if the charge was made by a relative or friend, a crime may have been committed. This encourages the customer (who did the chargeback) to call you to discuss the matter.
Speaking with the customer.
If the customer calls, reinforce the message in the letter. Let them know all is forgotten if they send funds (check or money order) to cover the transaction and chargeback fee.
In one case, a lady said her 15 year old son made the charge. It was explained to her that criminal charges could be brought against him for stealing and using a credit card. She decided to pay but wanted an invoice along with the user name and password.
Collections.
If the customer does not respond within 10 to 30 days (usually 30 days), submit their information to an online collection agency. The online collection agency will give you a copy of the customer’s credit report, if you want (you don’t need that). They send collection letters to the customer AND place the information on the customer’s credit report for all 3 credit bureaus. The fee for this is about $20.
Aftermath.
Again, if the customer does not respond, it’s on their credit report. At this point, the matter is closed. In the future, if they try to buy a car, house, refinance, get a job, etc. they will need to address this issue and you will be waiting.
By this point, get the membership fee, chargeback fee, plus the $600. If they pay, drop the interest charges (per your TOS) and provide them with a PFD letter.
The fees.
As stated earlier, you add a $600.00 fee on top of all the transaction fees. This idea comes from an attorney who handles shoplifting cases for department stores. He explained if a store decides to let you go (after arrest), they charge something like a $300 fee on top of any damages.
The fee is basically an hour of attorney time to handle administrative stuff. Using that as a guideline for reasonable fees, results in the additional $600 (1 hour of attorney time at $500/hour plus the $100 to cover phone calls, copying fees, etc.). Whether or not you are using an attorney, it’s a penalty fee to the customer.

New IRS rule requires sellers to report web purchases
It looks like the IRS will be getting 1099 data in 2011. It will be mandatory for Mastercard/Visa, Paypal, AmEx to report credit card receipts over 20K or 200 transactions a year.
Credit Cards, PayPal to Report Seller
New housing law brings tax implications for U.S. eBay sellers.
by Auctiva.com staff writer – Aug 07, 2008
The Housing and Economy Recovery Act of 2008, which was signed into law on July 30, is of particular importance to online sellers—regardless of their housing situation.
Although much was reported about the bill throughout its year-long path to becoming law, little attention has been given to a provision that will soon require credit card companies to report an annual dollar figure that they process on behalf of each “participating payee” (e.g., eBay seller) to the Internal Revenue Service. The effective date for the reporting requirement is 2011 calendar year receipts.
The law obligates payment settlement entities like VISA and MasterCard to send both the IRS and the “participating payee” the required information in January for the previous year, in a format that is expected to emulate IRS Form 1099. Given the new law’s elaborate definitions of “payment settlement entity,” most, if not all, electronic payment systems will be covered. These will of course include PayPal.
In order to help the IRS associate this data with the correct taxpayer, credit card companies, debit card networks and other electronic payment processors will begin asking their customers for Taxpayer Identification Numbers. Tax IDs will typically take the form of Employer Identification Number or Social Security Number. If an accurate number is not provided, the companies will be required to withhold a whopping 28 percent of receipts.
“The limited burden of this proposal will fall on the merchant card servicing companies (which already have the information to be reported), and not on the businesses who take credit cards as a form of payment,” Treasury Department spokesperson Andrew DeSouze tells Auctiva. “From the sellers’ point of view, this provision will help them to be more compliant by providing an annual statement of their credit card reimbursements so they can have complete information to file their tax returns.”
Not all eBay sellers will be affected by the new requirement, however. Obviously, the dwindling minority who only do business by cash, check and/or money order will experience no impact. But small sellers may also avoid the extra scrutiny, given the law’s minimum threshold: Only payees with more than $20,000 in processed receipts and more than 200 transactions for the year must be reported.
Small business lobbyists fought hard against the mandatory reporting provision, but in the end they lost out to the lure of more tax revenue. “They needed the money, and it was a done deal,” explains Giovanni Coratolo, director of small business policy for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “We kind of got lost as a low-priority item in a very high-profile bill.”
Various government agencies have in recent years proffered varying estimates of how much tax revenue is lost by merchants underreporting the type of income this provision is aimed at identifying. The third-party reporting provision will raise an estimated $9.6 billion over 10 years by encouraging merchants to report their income accurately to the IRS, according to the Senate Finance Committee. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, this provision should result in $608 million in taxes in 2012 alone.
