You won an auction: how to pay
When an auction ends and your bid is the highest at or above the reserve, you win. We tell you by notice and e-mail, and an order is created at your winning price.
Pay for the domain#
- Open the order under My Purchases. The auction also shows as won in My Bids.
- Choose a payment method and pay before the deadline on the order. Auction orders have their own payment deadline.
- Give your transfer details.
- Confirm receipt when the domain is in your registrar account.
If you do not pay#
An unpaid winning bid hurts the seller. When the deadline passes, the order is cancelled, and the seller may offer the domain to the next bidder. A member who wins and does not pay may lose the right to bid. Read the Auction Rules.
A second chance offer#
If you were the runner-up, or the auction ended below the reserve with your bid on top, the seller may offer you the domain. You get a notice with an order to pay, at your own bid. You are free to pay it or let it expire.
Tip: before you bid, check that you can pay with one of the methods offered, in time.
