Best way to buy a domain from a person

[Uzi]

Well usually the current owner of the domain name would transfer the domain name to your registrar account, i.e. GoDaddy. If, however, they are not able to transfer the domain name to your account, the only other possible option which springs to mind would be to give you their domain account. Anyhow, as other members have stated on this thread, it does seem risky. I would just purchase a domain name through a legitimate domain registrar, such as as NameCheap, GoDaddy or DomainMonster.
