How escrow works

Buying a domain from a stranger is risky. domclx holds the buyer's funds until the domain transfer is confirmed, then releases them to the seller, so neither side has to go first.

1. 1

   Buyer commits

   A Buy-It-Now click or an accepted offer starts an escrow transaction.

2. 2

   Funds held

   The buyer pays into the platform balance. Money is held, not yet paid out.

3. 3

   Transfer

   The seller provides the domain auth code or pushes the domain to the buyer.

4. 4

   Buyer confirms

   The buyer confirms the domain was received.

5. 5

   Funds released

   An admin releases the funds to the seller. A 5% fee applies, waived on MyClicx domains.

domclx is not a licensed escrow agent. Funds are processed by our payment provider, which acts as processor of record. See our terms for details.
