The Marketplace is a free platform provided to our customers. It lets a registrant list any active domain in their account for sale and lets any interested buyer submit a bid which is sent directly to the registrant.
Any there any fees for listing, selling or buying?
No. It is completely free. There are no listing fees, no sales fees, no commissions or any other fees for either party.
Do I need to modify my domain name settings to list it for sale?
No. There is no need to modify any DNS or nameserver settings, the domain name just needs to be active in your domain.co.nz account.
How do I list a domain name for sale?
From your dashboard Client Area:
- click on the Domains button at the top
- click the row of the domain you wish to list
- At the bottom of the page click List for Sale: *your domain*. After clicking it should show Listing Status: Listed for sale
- Your domain will be immediately visible on https://www.domain.co.nz/marketplace/
How do I receive bids?
Bids and the contact details of the bidder are emailed directly to you. NOTE: You must have General Emails enabled in your Email Preferences to receive bids.
How do I place bids?
Go to https://www.domain.co.nz/marketplace/ and enter your bid next to the domain name(s) you are interested in (you must create or be logged into your account).
Can I cancel a bid?
No. Once it is entered, you are committed to it
I've placed a bid but had no response
Submit a higher bid. Registrants typically ignore low bids.
Will I receive an alert if I'm outbid?
No. There is no outbid alert, check back regularly!
Will the current registrants details remain private?
Yes. The current registrants details remain private and will not be disclosed to any party. The bidders name, contact number, email address and bid are sent to the current registrant who can decide whether to make contact.
Will the bidders details remain private?
The bidders name, contact number and email address are only disclosed to the current registrant.
Are you involved in the sale process?
No. It is up to the buyer and seller to agree contractual terms (eg. final price and payment). We can arrange an escrow service via an accountant for a fee.
Are you involved in the transfer process?
On instructions from the current registrant we can internally transfer the domain name between registrant accounts (there is no fee for this). Alternatively if the buyer wishes to transfer the domain name to another registrar, the seller can generate and provide the transfer key directly to the buyer. In either case transfers are irrevocable, we strongly recommend receipt of cleared funds prior to approving any transfer
How do I delist a domain name for sale?
From your dashboard Client Area:
- click on the Domains button at the top
- click the row of the domain you wish to unlist
- At the bottom of the page click Delist from the marketplace: *your domain*. After clicking it should show Listing Status: Not listed for sale
