What are DomainLiq platform commission fees?

Stripe card and USDC / USDT crypto payouts share one unified fee: a flat $2 for sales up to $50, or 5% for sales over $50 (Stripe's ~2.9% + $0.30 card-processing and crypto gas are separate). External registrar links are subject to 0% platform fees.

What is the 48-Hour domain delivery rule?

Sellers must provide a valid Authorization/EPP Code within 48 hours of purchase. Failure to deliver the code in this window entitles the buyer to a full refund.

How do I create a domain bundle on DomainLiq?

Open Create Bundle in your dashboard (or select multiple domains and use the bulk Create Bundle action), choose the domains, set a name, price, and visibility, then publish. The whole bundle sells in one checkout.

Platform Fee Breakdowns

Stripe Card Fee Tiers

Domain Price	Platform Commission
$1.00 – $50.00	$2.00 Flat
$50.01+	5%

*Note: Standard Stripe processing merchant charges (~2.9% + $0.30) are handled dynamically by Stripe and deducted from your net payout.

USDC & USDT Crypto Commissions

Crypto checkouts are processed via USDC / USDT smart contract escrow systems. Commission is a flat $2 for sales up to $50, or 5% for sales over $50 — the same unified structure as Stripe card checkout.

Example transactions:
• Domain Listing: $40 USDC → Platform Fee: $2 USDC (flat)
• Domain Listing: $1,000 USDT → Platform Fee: $50 USDT (5%)
• Net Payout: straight to your Web3 wallet!

*Note: Polygon and Base network gas transaction costs are typically less than $0.01 per payout.

How to Create a Bundle

Bundles group multiple domains into a single listing with one price, so buyers can purchase the whole set in one checkout. Watch the quick tutorial, then follow the steps below.

1. Open Create Bundle

In your dashboard, click Create Bundle, or select multiple domains and choose Create Bundle (N) from bulk actions.

2. Pick your domains

Select the domains to include. Every domain must be available and verified at checkout.

3. Set price & details

Add a name, optional price, slug, description, and choose public or private visibility.

4. Publish

Hit Create Bundle to publish. Buyers can then purchase the entire bundle in one transaction.

Bundle Purchases

When a buyer purchases one of your bundles, the platform fee is calculated on the total bundle price using the same tiers above (flat $2 up to $50, or 5% over $50) — never per-domain. A bundle sale is all-or-nothing: the buyer pays for the entire bundle in one transaction, and every domain in the bundle must be available and verified at checkout.

External Registrar Checkout Details

Sellers can configure domains to redirect directly to checkouts at Atom.com, Spaceship, GoDaddy (Afternic), or Dynadot. Ensure you respect their minimum pricing guidelines:

Atom.com (Squadhelp)

Minimum Price: No Minimum

Supports standard listing checkout links matching standard marketplace commission fees. Flexible setup allows listing lower budget domains without issue.

Spaceship SellerHub

Minimum Price: $100.00

Spaceship requires a minimum threshold of $100 for buy-now configs. Offers an appealing commission structure of 5-10% for sales in their ecosystem.

GoDaddy / Afternic

Minimum Price: $99.00

Requires a $99.00 minimum list price. Keep in mind GoDaddy charges a minimum floor commission of $15 per sale, meaning low-value checkouts are heavily impacted.

Dynadot Marketplace

Minimum Price: No Minimum

Dynadot maintains a flat 10% commission on marketplace domain checkouts with no minimum pricing restrictions, making it excellent for budget liquidations.

Crucial Delivery Rules

The 48-Hour Escrow Rule

When a buyer purchases your domain using Stripe or crypto escrow (USDC/USDT), you must submit the domain's Authorization Code (EPP Code) in your dashboard within 48 hours.

Failure to Deliver: If the 48-hour delivery period passes without the EPP code being submitted, the buyer is entitled to cancel the transaction and claim a full refund.

Security Escrow Hold: Once you submit the code, funds are locked in escrow. The payout is dispatched instantly when the buyer confirms receipt, or automatically in 72 hours.

Seller Best Practices

Verify domain ownership (DNS TXT or NS record) to get the Verified Owner badge and top priority placement in marketplace search.
Domains aged 2+ years are instantly listed upon submission; newer domains are reviewed and approved within 24 hours by our curation team.
Double-check destination wallet addresses for USDC / USDT before saving settings to avoid irreversible blockchain transfers.
Keep domains unlocked and remove registrar transfer blocks before listing.
Provide EPP codes immediately on order placement to trigger fast payouts.
