Buyers and sellers
How it works
A buyer pays the listed price. A seller lists a name they already hold. The charge stays on that order until the transfer is confirmed, then the seller’s wallet is credited.
Buyers
- 01
Open a listing
Search a listed name and open its profile.
- 02
Check the record
The profile shows Verified or Not verified. Not verified cannot be bought or bid on.
- 03
Buy or bid
Pay a fixed price, or place a bid. The seller accepts a bid and the buyer pays. No money is taken on a bid until then.
- 04
The name is held
Paying the fixed price ends bidding. The charge sits on that order.
- 05
The name moves
The seller pushes the name or starts a registrar transfer. The seller wallet is credited after the name moves.
Sellers
- 01
List a name you hold
DOMFOP is not the registrar.
- 02
Add one A record
Point
domfop.<domain>at203.0.113.10, and nothing else. One host, one IPv4 address. The match is exact. - 03
Get verified
The profile shows Verified when that record matches. A wrong record is Not verified and cannot be bought or bid on. An AAAA record does not count. The apex can stay where it is.
- 04
Set the price
Fixed price, bids, or both. Listing is free. The buyer pays the listed price.
- 05
Move the name
After payment you see the buyer’s registrar account and move the name.
A push is often one to two days. A change of registrar is often within seven days. A locked name cannot move until the lock lifts. Some registries are slower.
