Closing the Transaction on Sold Domains

If a domain is successfully sold at auction, Moniker will work with the winning bidder to complete the sale and receive funds into escrow as soon as possible. This process typically takes 20-30 business days to complete, but could take longer if the domain is not already at Moniker, or if the winning bidder lives outside the United States. Both Buyers and Sellers must agree and abide by the Marketplace User Agreement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To expedite the transfer process, Moniker asks that sellers be prepared to unlock all domains sold and provide EPP and/or other Authorization Codes immediately following the auction closing, where they will be held safely (without DNS change) in a separate Escrow account at Moniker, until the funds arrive in escrow.

Sellers can request Moniker to process payments via check, bank wire, PayPal, or by placing funds in the seller's Moniker account. Certain payment methods may require a small surcharge. Moniker will use best efforts to complete funds transfer within 3 business days of ownership change.

Funds for domain purchases are generally due to escrow by close of business within 10 business days of the final auction event. Funds can be paid by bank wire, personal check, cashier & certified check, PayPal (for purchases under $10,000.00 only).
