I do abide by the rules, which is why I posted a question on this forum (to find out what the rules are)

I have no problem paying a transfer fee, but have a look at http://www.whatsinaname.com.au and checkout Melbourne IT's markup ...

I am not a customer of Melbourne IT, so I am not trying to avoid paying a bill .. 

I am trying to:

a) avoid having a domain registered with them.
b) not paying an excessive charge.

I consider what I am doing 'good business' 

Cheers Tony

  I would suggest that you abide by the rules and pay the necessary charges

  and let your financials reflect the expense

  Business is business

  I can never understand people trying to aviod expenses

  Reducing them yes avoiding them no

  How would you like it if your customers looked to avoid paying you

  Productivity that's the key- it's not so much the costs it how much can your business earn

  Evaluate the cost and return and if the make or break is $399 then I would reevealute the whole transaction

  Happy new year

  Thanks for the reply,

   

  Actually I am just buying a business that owns a domain name ... I have just 

  been told by Melbourne IT that as it no longer has the same abn as it did 

  for the previous owner, I am up for a transfer fee.

   

   

  Cheers Tony
