Personally speaking, charge upfront - then reimburse later
if necessary. Otherwise - if the transfer succeeds and then
the payment fails (eg, bad card) you're left high and dry.
If you get lots of bad transfers, you might want to consider
a no-refund policy... or a partial refund (deduct a handling
fee or something).

How would the server know whether the person is eligible to
transfer the domain? There's no way around this.
