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

  1. 01

    Open a listing

    Search a listed name and open its profile.

  2. 02

    Check the record

    The profile shows Verified or Not verified. Not verified cannot be bought or bid on.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    The name is held

    Paying the fixed price ends bidding. The charge sits on that order.

  5. 05

    The name moves

    The seller pushes the name or starts a registrar transfer. The seller wallet is credited after the name moves.

Sellers

  1. 01

    List a name you hold

    DOMFOP is not the registrar.

  2. 02

    Add one A record

    Point domfop.<domain> at 203.0.113.10, and nothing else. One host, one IPv4 address. The match is exact.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    Set the price

    Fixed price, bids, or both. Listing is free. The buyer pays the listed price.

  5. 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.
