Submit your domains for auction

If you have domain names that you would like to submit into our domain auctions, please click the icon to start the submission wizard. Domains that make it to auction are voted on by the Bido Community. You may skip the voting process and accelerate your domains to auction by using Bido Credits.

In the rare event that you may have any trouble with your submissions, please fill a support ticket and we will list your domains manually for you. Also, we will do verifications for you if they get stuck, you do not need to write us about this. We are currently upgrading some of the systems and appreciate your understanding.

Guidelines for auctions:

Currently Accepting All Valid Domain Name Extensions
Bido accepts ccTLDs (.de, .co.uk, .in, etc.), secondary gTLDs (.net, .org, etc.), and sTLDs (.mobi, .travel, etc.) for auction. Adult domains are allowed, however we ask that you categorize your adult domains in the adult category properly. IDN domains are allowed, however they are currently subject to submission fee of 1 Bido Credit, at the time of submission.

Short Generics Preferred
As a general guideline, it's best to submit only one or two word generic domain names. Exceptions would be a two letter/character .com, or a three digit.com. 
Domains up to 20 characters in length (excluding the TLD) are free to list. Domains containing more than 20 characters are subject to fee of 1 Bido Credit, at the time of submission. The length criterion is more restrictive for .info,.biz, and .org domains, where length should be up to 16 characters, in order to qualify for a free submission.

BidoPrice = The Price Of Engagement
You specify your BidoPrice anywhere from $38 on up. The community votes on what goes to auction, based on the item and it's BidoPrice.

Select Your BidoPrice Accurately
Bido recommends pricing your domains with an accurate BidoPrice. Since domains are voted on if they go to auction, it's your responsibility to price your domains accurately so that they get voted on, subsequently make it to auction, and attract bidders. The more bidders, the more pressure, and the better chance for bidding wars.

BidoPrice Gives Buyers And Sellers Full Control
Bido allows the sale of domains at any price level above our minimum starting BidoPrice of $38. The BidoPrice system allows you to ensure that your domain is guaranteed to not sell at a drastically low price. In addition, if the auction closes and your BidoPrice isn't met, Bido automatically gives you the option to log in and click to accept the highest bid within 24 hours of the auction close. BidoPrice gives buyers full control because while your domain is up for voting, any prospective bidder may place a prebid and instantly send the domain to auction. Next to the Vote icon is a Bid icon, and a preliminary bid is essentially considered as enough votes to go to auction.

Fee Schedule
The Bido commission is 10% of the sale amount if your item sells for less than $1,000, 8% if your item sells between $1,000-$9,999, and 6% if your item sells for at least $10,000. It's free to submit domains for voting to go to auction. Should you wish to skip voting, after you submit your domains, you may accelerate your listings to auction by using Bido Credits. The fee structure to accelerate your auctions (should you not want to wait for votes) is 1 Bido Credit per $1,000 of your BidoPrice, with a cap of 10 credits maximum (any BidoPrice over $10,000 will only cost 10 credits). If your auction ends with a winner, the Bido Credits are funded back to your account for reuse later.

If the auction closes and your BidoPrice isn't met, Bido gives you the option to log in and click to accept the highest bid within 24 hours of the auction close. Bidders are bound to honor their highest bid for 24 hours, even if the BidoPrice is not met. This gives you a fallback option to sell your domain even if the price level did not meet your initial expectations. In addition, if you select the highest bid within 24 hours, any acceleration credits you may have used are funded back.

What's Next?

Carefully read the emails that Bido will send you. We send instructions (and reminders if necessary) about any actions you need to take with your listings. At each step of the way, we'll send you emails with important information to walk you through the process and show you what to do next. Our platform is designed to make it quite simple to buy and sell, once you get started you will see just how easy it is. And we're here to help.

After you submit your domains, you'll be instructed via email about how to verify ownership of your domains. Once verified, the Bido community votes on what goes to auction. When your domain receives enough votes, you'll be contacted to setup your auction (or it will be setup automatically for you if it gets a bid, as well as if you have autolist enabled and it gets enough votes). If you do not want to wait for votes, you may wish to consider auction acceleration.

THE PRICE OF ENGAGEMENT
Your BidoPrice is the absolute minimum price that you as seller will accept in order to sell your item in auction. When you select your BidoPrice, you should select an appealing price level that will encourage bidders to become engaged and participate. It's when bidders initially become engaged in an auction that will build pressure to the point where it gets heated and the auction is maximized for the seller. A successful auction has not one bidder but two or more. Use your BidoPrice to encourage bidders to engage early and attract subsequent bidding wars. Learn more
