No. The buyer got his assets. You are out of money.

The buyer as well. But the buyer technically has "paid" so they may not be as concerned with closing out the transaction. If only the assets could be held in escrow as well, then when both elements are held by the escrow group, they can release to the appropriate parties.

Domain names can be held in escrow by escrow.com. So theoretically it's possible to at least get that part back if the transaction goes south.

I should have been more clear.

It's not a matter of whether it's possible but whether the seller had the foresight to use the service in such a capacity.

Because at the end of the day, an escrow is a trusted third party used to facilitate a trade. We typically think of them in terms of money because that's typically what they hold, but there's no good reason they can't be trusted with any good.

have to agree here
