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.
