How do I bid?

A bid deposit is required to participate in Premium User Auctions. It is $100 or 5% of bid amount, whichever is higher.

In the field above, type in an amount greater than the current bid and click the "place bid" button. We use proxy bidding, so you might pay less than your actual bid. If a bid is received in the last 5 minutes of an auction, the end time will be extended by 5 minutes.

The winning bidder must submit payment within 72 hours of the auction end time. If a payment is not received, the bid deposit ($100 or 5% of bid amount, whichever is greater) is forfeited as a nonpayment fee. When the domain is pushed into the winning bidder's account, the domain will remain in an "buy lock" status for about 30 days.

The renew fee is not included in the bid price.
