: Safety of purchasing country-specific domains from registrars? None of the previous questions tackle some of the one-off (or further) countries' registries, beyond .co.uk, .it, et al. or else I'd
None of the previous questions tackle some of the one-off (or further) countries' registries, beyond .co.uk, .it, et al. or else I'd have found an answer myself.
Is it safe to buy a domain from a foreign country TLD from a registrar?

I'm just looking for information for a vanity domain, so obviously I'm alright without an answer, but it's an unasked question (or at least, unanswered), and I'm not exactly in a hurry to give my credit card information over country lines, sight unseen.

Your original question (RE: .gr domains) poses an interesting point - while I can't vouch for any Greek registrars, I have worked with the Spanish registrar Nominalia for years without issue and they do offer .gr registrations at present. (I'm not with them anymore as they hiked their prices eventually and the dollar to euro conversion rate isn't as favorable as it used to be - still, it was fun practicing my Spanish on the e-mails they'd send)
Note that you should only use a bona fide credit card (versus a debit card) when you're shopping online - regardless of where you're spending - because your liability for fraud is significantly reduced. (See Debit Card: Consumer Protection Wikipedia entry for basic explanation)
It's far easier to report fraud on a credit card than haggle with your bank about fraudulent charges after money has been debited from your account - caveat emptor and all that.
