Est-ce votre question ?

Do I have to pay for your services?
)

No, using our Domain Ownership Transfer service directly or via one of our API partners is free of charge for domain buyers.

What does starting offer mean?
)

The starting price represent the minimum offer you can place on a domain. The seller has set this minimum price to avoid getting offers below a specific price point. As a buyer, you can't place an offer below the starting price of a seller.

What payment provider do you use?
)

All of our payments are processed safely​ and securely by our payment provider Adyen. Read more about our payment provider Adyen by clicking on the category Trust and safety.

I have paid for a domain name, what happens next?
)

After we’ve secured your payment, we proceed and take full control over the domain from the seller and send you tailored transfer instructions.

Please keep in mind that every domain extension and registrar has different processes. Our guarantee, however, is that we will at all times propose the easiest and most convenient transfer process possible.

Our domain ownership transfer specialists will help you navigate the domain industry and provide support until you’re fully satisfied and have gained complete ownership over a domain.

I received the authorization code of the domain, what happens next?
)

Transferring a domain is easy if you’ve done it before. If it’s your first time, the process can be confusing. Each registrar / hosting provider has created different transfer processes (unfortunately) for example.

Still having transfer issues? Contact your designated domain ownership transfer specialist via your buyer control panel to get tailored assistance.

What are the different payment options?
)

We support the following payment options: Bank wire, SEPA, Visa, MasterCard, MisterCash, Sofort, Paypal, AliPay, WeChatPay and Cryptocurrency.

Do you know the asking price of this domain name?
)

That depends on the listing you've landed on. If you observe a so-called Buy-Now price this means that the seller works with fixed prices.

If you don't see a price then the seller hasn't set a price yet. In order to find out what his/her price is, simply place an offer to get a direct response back from the seller.

Are there any hidden costs, beyond the yearly registration of the domain?
)

No, at Dan.com we care about transparency and never add any additional fees or costs.

How do I know my payment is safe?
)

They have a banking license in place required to facilitate 100% safe and secure transactions.

We also have enabled the highest level of fraud detection systems to avoid any issues on our marketplace.

Do I receive a VAT invoice?
)

The invoice provided by Dan will reflect any applicable VAT charges.

I bought and transferred a domain but it's still showing a For Sale page.
)

Simply head to the registrar where you're managing the domain and delete our Nameservers from the DNS settings to replace our for sale page with your own site.

Are all offers I place binding?
)

Yes, all confirmed offers at Dan.com are legally binding.

Can you also push a domain instead of transferring?
)

Yes, we actually prefer doing a push as that's the faster way for buyers to take control of​ a newly acquired domain.

How long is my offer valid?
)

Every offer is valid for a duration of 7 days.

Within how many days do I need to pay for the domain I bought?
)

All transactions have to be completed in 24 hours. If you're a corporate buyer that requires more time to complete a purchase simply notify our team so we can inform the seller.

Are all prices including or excluding VAT?

Est-ce votre question ?

What is the Afternic Distribution Network opt-in?
)

Dan.com-listed domain names with buy it now (BIN) prices will automatically be opted into the Afternic Distribution Network, where your domain names gain added exposure to potential buyers at over 150 Afternic partners.

Are domain names I've already listed at my Afternic account affected by opting in to the Dan/Afternic integration?
)

No. Domain names that are already listed in your Afternic account will not be affected in any way by opting in to the Afternic Distribution Network at Dan.com.

How can I opt out of the Afternic integration?
)

As of 1 August, you will no longer be able to opt out of domain names listed on Dan.com with buy it now (BIN) prices being listed on the Afternic Distribution Network.

Is the Dan/Afternic Distribution Network integration fast transfer enabled?
)

No. Dan.com domain names listed through the Afternic Distribution Network are not fast transfer enabled. However, Dan.com domain names sold through the Afternic Distribution Network are processed by the Dan.com team. You can expect the same quick, reliable transfers and payouts that you have come to expect from Dan.com.

What are the benefits of using the Afternic distribution network?
)

Our analysis of Dan sellers opting into distribution on the Afternic network shows an increase of more than 30% on the average sales price those sellers receive. We believe sellers receive a higher average sales price because their domain benefits from additional exposure to more than 150 partners of the Afternic network.

We worked to make managing domains on both marketplaces easy. Check out Dan's product update #7 for more information. We are committed to continuing to deliver a superior customer experience making domain trading available to everyone.

No. Only domain names with a BIN price at Dan.com are applicable for the Afternic Distribution Network.

How does selling a domain in installments work?
)

You can enable offering installments to your buyers directly from your account settings or portfolio.

Once the buyer has initiated the transaction by paying the first installed payment we proceed and take your domain under our management until the total purchase price is paid.

When the buyer is in default, you get to keep the received installed payments and the domain will be returned to you.

Are there other currency options?
)

At this moment the available currency options are Euro (€), U.S. Dollar ($) and Pound Sterling (£). You can change your currency preferences in your account settings.

I sold a domain, when can I expect to receive my payment?
