How to Sell Domains on DomainLiq
The complete, no-fluff seller walkthrough: add a domain, verify ownership with DNS, point your custom domain, and build a shareable bundle — all for free.
DomainLiq is a free, open platform for domain liquidation — no listing fees, no ads, just domains. This guide walks through everything a seller needs to go from zero to a verified, live, sellable listing and bundle.
Create your seller account
Sign up at domainliq.com/auth/signup. Your chosen username becomes your free store URL — e.g. https://yourname.domainliq.com. This is where all your listings, bundles, and landers live.
Add a domain
Open your Dashboard and use Add Domain. You can add:
- Single — one domain at a time.
- Bulk — paste or upload many domains at once.
- From a portfolio — pull domains you'll later group into a bundle.
Set a buy-now price (and optionally an offer threshold), then save. Your domain will be submitted for a quick admin review. Once approved, you can verify your domain to make it live.
Verify ownership
Once your domain is approved by the admin, you must verify it to make the listing live. Verified domains earn the green shield badge, which builds buyer trust and unlocks USDC checkout. In your Dashboard, click Verify, then pick one of two methods:
Method A — TXT Record (recommended)
Add this TXT record at your registrar's DNS:
Method B — Nameserver (fastest)
Add this as an extra nameserver (NS3) — keep your existing NS1/NS2 so your lander keeps working:
⚡ Usually verifies within minutes once the registry updates.
Click Check Now to confirm. You can re-run it any time after saving DNS changes.
Verify via NS or TXT Record
We support NS Record (add ns3verify.domainliq.com) and TXT Record verification.
- NS Record (Recommended): Fast verification in minutes without altering existing NS1/NS2 records.
- TXT Record: Add host @ or _domainliq with your verification token.
Create a bundle
Bundles (portfolios) let you group related domains into one shareable page with a single price or a curated list. In your Dashboard, open the Portfolios section and:
- Give the bundle a name (e.g. "Premium 2-letter .io").
- Optionally set a bundle price and a slug for the URL.
- Add a short description to help buyers understand the package.
- Select the domains to include.
- Toggle Public on, then create it.
Share it at https://yourname.domainliq.com/portfolio/your-slug. Buyers can browse the whole group, contact you via chat, and check availability per domain.
Note: the "Other Listings" carousel is not enabled by default, and is never auto-enabled for sellers with 10 or fewer listings.
Configure payouts & get paid
Connect a payout method so you can collect when a domain sells: Stripe Connect (cards), USDC (Polygon/Base), or Escrow.com (for $500+).
On a sale, deliver the domain's Authorization (EPP) code within 48 hours. Funds release to you on buyer confirmation, or automatically after the escrow window. Full fee tables and payout details live in our Seller's Guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify that I own a domain?+
Once approved by the admin, open the domain in your Dashboard and click Verify. Add a TXT record (domainliq-verification=YOUR_TOKEN on host @) or add ns3verify.domainliq.com as an extra nameserver (NS3) alongside your existing NS1/NS2. Then click Check Now. The nameserver method usually verifies within minutes.
How long does DNS verification or pointing take?+
DNS changes propagate anywhere from a few minutes up to 48 hours depending on your registrar and TTL. The nameserver (NS3) method typically confirms fastest. You can re-run Check Now at any time.
Does creating a bundle cost anything?+
No. Listing domains and creating public bundles is 100% free on DomainLiq. There are no listing fees and no monthly charges — you only pay platform fees when a sale closes (and several payout methods are 0% fee).
What are the platform fee rates and seller tiers?+
Free Sellers pay $2 flat for domain sales up to $50 (or 5% over $50) with limits of 50 domains and 3 portfolios. Verified Sellers (granted by admins based on sales history) pay $1 flat up to $50 (or 3% over $50) with a Gold Verified badge, unlimited listings/portfolios, and instant auto-approval.
What is the 48-hour delivery rule & 72-hour auto-release?+
When a buyer purchases your domain, you must provide the Authorization (EPP) code within 48 hours. Once delivered, the buyer has 72 hours to confirm receipt. If they do not confirm within 72 hours, escrow funds auto-release to your payout account.
Keep domains unlocked. Before a sale closes, remove registrar transfer locks and have your EPP code ready so you can deliver within the 48-hour window and get paid fast.
