How to Sell Domain Names (Reseller & Aftermarket)

How the Domain Aftermarket Works

Four steps from holding to payout:

1. Value realistically — length, extension (.com dominates; .in for India-focused brands), keywords, and comparable sales decide the range; most domains sell in three figures, not six.
2. List on marketplaces — Afternic for distribution reach, Sedo for international buyers, Dan for lease-to-own; a for-sale landing page costs nothing meanwhile.
3. Price with BIN — Buy-It-Now sells more, faster, at slightly lower ceilings; negotiation-only stalls until the right buyer appears.
4. Close with escrow — Escrow.com holds funds until the domain transfers; never push a domain before payment is verified.

The transfer itself adds a year to the buyer's registration and follows the standard domain transfer flow. Portfolio sellers managing many names run the whole operation from bulk domain registration panels.

Handling Inbound Offers From Serious Buyers

Two practical notes on escrow transfer: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.

India Notes: Payments and Taxes

India notes — payments and taxes: proceeds arrive as cross-border remittance (wire or PayPal) and convert to INR, with bank and KYC documentation your CA will recognise. GST treatment depends on your registration: unregistered individuals typically book the sale as capital receipt of a personal asset; GST-registered sellers of domains as part of business income should invoice accordingly. Marketplace commissions run 10–25% depending on platform and service tier — factor them into the ask. Keep the paper trail: the listing, the escrow agreement and the remittance advice together satisfy both the bank and the accountant without follow-up questions.
