Why List Your Domain for Auction?

Our domain auctions will always list curated, premium domains in a highly searchable format and at amazing prices! With consistent themed auctions no one will want to miss, wholesale liquidation auctions designed for domain investors, and unique tools and features, Atom offers more than a standard domain auction.

Trusted Atom Infrastructure

Our Domain Auctions are supported by Atom.com's existing infrastructure. Our team will work with you to ensure fast, guaranteed transfers, and payment will be through our existing secure system.

Unique Inventory

Atom Domain Auctions feature a selection of the same curated Atom Premium domains you’ll find on our marketplace. Inventory is enhanced by community-submitted domains, the best of which are selected for inclusion in auctions.

Enhance Your Portfolio

Once you find a domain you like, place a bid. Some auctions have a starting price, while others may have a reserve price that must be met before the domain is sold. Keep an eye on the auction to see if you need to increase your bid.

Two Unique Auction Types

We regularly run two kinds of Domain Auctions, Public Auction Events and Wholesale Liquidation Auctions. As a seller in the Domain Auctions Community, you can bid (and win!) in both as well as submitting domains for listing. The buying public can also bid in Public Auction Events, opening them up to a wide audience so domains sell fast!

Public Auction Events

Our regular Public Auction Events feature high-quality, unique domains.
They’re built around a theme such as short domains, one-word domains, or .ai extensions, but there’s always room for great brandable domains of all kinds!
Open to the public, these auctions showcase community submissions, with added visibility through paid advertising
Some of the domains included in this type of auction will have a reserve price.

Wholesale Liquidation Auctions

These auctions will feature both Atom.com domains and domains submitted by the Domain Auctions community.
They're built on an innovative forward and reverse-auction system, with prices rising just like a standard auction when there's interest, but dropping daily when there are no bids.
We designed this model to maximize value and help every domain sell for the right price.
Wholesale Liquidation Auctions offer a chance to submit any domain you no longer want in your portfolio and make back some of your investment. They’re a particularly good choice for domains that are expiring soon.
Our unique forward and reverse auction style to get the most out of domains you want to liquidate and get great domains at the right price
Wholesale Liquidation Auctions start at $50 and have no reserve price.
The person with the highest bid will win the auction.
Or, if no bids are received, the price drops by $10 every day until it hits $10.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Visit our Help Center for more information

How do Public Auction Events Work?

Public Auction Events will include domains that match a core theme (e.g. 5 letters, 4 letters, one word). They will also include great, brandable domains of all kinds! Atom Auction members can submit and bid on domains, and the general public can also bid. You will see bidding increments for each auction. Bidding increments are based on the current highest bid (for example, a domain with a high bid of $75 might have an increment of $5, where a domain with a high bid of $10,000 would have increments of $100.) You can bid any amount, but you will only pay one increment above the second-highest bid. These auctions may have a reserve price.

How do Wholesale Liquidation Auctions Work?

Wholesale Liquidation Auctions will start at $50, they will have no reserve price, and the person with the highest bid will win the auction. You will see bidding increments for each auction. Bidding increments are based on the current highest bid (for example, a domain with a high bid of $75 might have increments of $5, where a domain with a high bid of $10,000 would have increments of $100.) You can bid any amount, but you will only pay one increment above the second-highest bid. If no bids are received, the price will drop daily. Wholesale Liquidation Auctions are only open to investors who are part of the Atom Auction Community.

How do I view actions?

Once approved you will have access to the Auctions Marketplace (coming soon) where you can search by for domains by keyword, industry, and more.

What domains can I submit?

You can submit any domain domain you want to liquidate to Wholesale Liquidation Auctions. For Public Auction Events, submitted domains must be high quality and brandable, with submissions that match upcoming themes particularly welcome.

What happens to marketplace listings for domains included in auctions?

During auctions any domains listed that are also listed on the Premium Marketplace will remain there. If you win a domain currently listed on the Atom.com marketplace it moves to your ownership but will remain on the marketplace unless you take it down.

What happens when I win an auction?

If you are the winner of an Atom.com auction, you will immediately recieve an email notifying you of your win. You can then go to the domain auctions page and submit payment. You have 72 hours from the time of winning to submit your payment. If you do not submit payment within this timeframe, you will not longer be able to purchase the domain, and the next highest bidder will become the winner. Once payment is submitted, our team will work with you to complete the transfer of the domain to your ownership.

What happens if a winning bidder fails to pay?

Placing a winning bid and not completing the payment is a direct violation of our policies. If a winning bidder doesn't pay for their domain within 48 hours, the auction is void and the domain remains with its current owner. Additionally, the non-paying bidder will no longer be able to participate in future auctions and their account may be subject to further action

For new users, Atom may require them to fund their account balance upfront before participating in an auction.

Are there any fees involved in buying or selling domains in an auction?

Our platform charges a small fee for listing and transaction processing, which varies depending on the auction type and domain value. Full details of fees can be found in our Domain Auction Policies.

Can I set a reserve price for my domain as a seller?

Yes, as a domain seller you can set a reasonable reserve price.

Can I set a starting price for my domain as a seller?

If your domain is part of a Themed Auction you can set a reasonable starting price. All Expiring Domain Auctions start at $50.
