Best For

Competitive domains where open price discovery matters most.

  • Bidders keep topping each other until the close, with anti-snipe extensions protecting the finish.
  • The winner settles at the final bid amount once the listing ends.
  • Sellers use this when they want the market to determine the clearing price.

Best For

Fast sales when speed matters more than running a long bid war.

  • The seller sets a starting price, floor price, drop amount, and drop interval ahead of time.
  • Buyers watch the curve and purchase the moment the price feels attractive enough.
  • The first accepted price ends the auction immediately and settles the sale.

Best For

Sellers who want upside from bids without losing a clear instant-purchase price.

  • Buyers can either place bids normally or skip the wait and execute the buy now price.
  • If someone uses buy now, the auction settles instantly with no manual finalization step.
  • This format works well for liquid names where impulse purchases are common.

Best For

Premium domains where the seller wants downside protection.

  • Bidders compete as normal, but the sale only completes if the reserve threshold is met.
  • If bidding finishes below reserve, the domain does not sell and ownership stays with the seller.
  • This keeps premium inventory listed without forcing a low-confidence sale.
