As expected, the Epik market has reached a new level of depravity. Our messages are being deleted and it seems that buyers are not seeing our prices. It's possible that negotiations have been divided into two parts: one involving the buyer and Epik, and another with Epik and the seller. The buyer is located in one place and the seller in another. If there's a conflict, communication and selling must stop.
Adding to this, we need our own parking service. Unfortunately, there is no parking service within our domain name of interest. However, there is a parking service that comes with communication options, including uncensored and filtered options. Without filtering, we receive over 95 spam messages consistently. These messages could potentially be legitimate, but only one message per domain name is sent.
It seems that the issue with Epik selling your domain for $0 is more likely a bug or technical glitch rather than a deliberate attempt. Personally, I haven't received any offers from them in months and I'm not a fan of their system.
In their system, if an offer is made and accepted, Epik automatically charges the person for it. This helps to avoid any dead ends or situations where someone tries to bargain with you for an agreed upon domain price after making an initial offer.
