Selling Your Domain on Consignment: How It Works, Step by Step

You own an aged domain but do not have the buyer network to sell it well. We do — and we take the risk side of the deal: vetting, listing, marketing, escrow-grade payment handling and transfer. You pay nothing upfront; we earn a commission only when the domain actually sells.

Step 1 — Submit the domain

Open Sell Your Domain and fill in the form. The three metric fields matter: providing DR, referring domains and backlinks triggers an instant automated valuation on our side, anchored to real auction comps — so the price conversation starts from data.

Step 2 — Vetting and offer

Within 48 hours we run the full clean-check pipeline (Wayback history, redirect abuse, anchor profile, index status) and compare your asking price against the automated valuation. You get one of three answers: a listing proposal, a direct purchase offer, or a pass with the reason stated.

Step 3 — Listing and sale

Accepted domains are listed in our inventory with their name masked to non-registered visitors — the same protection our own stock gets. Buyers see verified metrics, the clean score and the estimated value range. When someone buys, payment is collected through our checkout (bank, crypto, PayPal or card).

Step 4 — Commission and payout

• Commission is agreed per deal — typically 30–35% of the sale price (default 32.5%).
• The moment an order is paid, the payout math is locked automatically: sale price minus commission equals your payout.
• You transfer the domain to the buyer (we coordinate the push/EPP handover), and your payout is sent by bank transfer or crypto.

The commission covers everything: vetting, hosting the listing, buyer acquisition, payment risk and transfer support. No sale, no fee.
