How the marketplace works

2 min read Updated Nov 4, 2026

AIODomain is a marketplace for domain names. Sellers list domains they own. Buyers find them, buy them at a fixed price, make an offer or bid in an auction. The marketplace runs the payment, the transfer and the support in between.

The life of a sale#

  1. A seller lists a domain and proves ownership with a DNS record. A moderator reviews the listing before it goes live.
  2. A buyer agrees a price with Buy Now, an accepted offer or a winning bid. This creates an order.
  3. The buyer pays with one of the payment methods on the order page, or through an escrow service when the marketplace offers one.
  4. The seller transfers the domain to the buyer's registrar account and marks the order transferred.
  5. The buyer confirms receipt. The seller's earnings, less the commission, become available for a payout.

What protects you#

  • Listings show whether ownership was verified.
  • The money is held until the buyer confirms the domain arrived.
  • Either side can open a dispute on a paid order, and our team decides on the evidence.
