Common pricing questions
Is there a fee to list domains?
No. Listing is completely free with no limits on the number of domains you can list.
Why do fees differ by sale type?
Fixed-price (Buy Now) sales are simpler to process - the fee is 7.75%. Offers and auctions require more platform resources (messaging, bidding, anti-snipe protection), so they carry a 9.75% fee. Both are still well below industry averages.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The price you see on each listing is the price you pay - the 7.75–9.75% Namearch marketplace fee is already included in the displayed total. Escrow.com charges its own transaction fees separately. See their fee calculator.
