As GoDaddy were acting as the middleman, I had a certain amount of trust.
It would be entirely different if some stranger had just e-mailed me and asked to buy my domain.
As a seller, would you give the stranger the domain on the promise of payment in return?
As a buyer, would you trust the seller to transfer the domain if you paid them the money in advance?
You never really know who you're dealing with - are they legitimate, or is it a con where the buyer wants the domain so he can sell it on for a bigger profit?
You pays your money, etc.
