Listing a domain? Start here.

No password or account registration is required. Submit your domain and we handle ownership review and approval by email. Use Seller access to view your submissions and request changes with a secure email sign-in link. To check or update a submission, reply to its confirmation email or contact hello@namebid.co.uk with your reference.

Minimum auction opening bid: £25. The submission form requests your hidden reserve (minimum £25). We confirm the separate opening bid and auction terms during approval.

Your contact details are not published on auction pages. Listings show the domain, category, prices, reserve status, seller type and timing. Your name and email are used for review and transaction support; necessary details may be shared with the other party to arrange a sale. Read the privacy policy.

Who pays transfer costs? NameBid charges no marketplace fee. Any Nominet or registrar transfer charge must be agreed between buyer and seller before payment; it is not automatically included in the bid.

EXCLUSIVE SELLER FEATURE

NameBid DemandStart™

Your auction clock starts when buyers are ready—not while nobody is watching. Choose DemandStart when your listing is approved and the seven-day countdown begins after one verified opening bid or three verified interested buyers.

VERIFIED BUYER BRIEFS

Buyers say what they need.

NameBid automatically matches live auctions and alerts sellers whose domains may fit.

EXCLUSIVE: RESERVEBRIDGE™

An auction near-miss does not have to be the end.

If an eligible auction closes below reserve, the seller and highest verified bidder can privately enter their limits. If those figures overlap, NameBid proposes a fair price without exposing either figure or the hidden reserve.

How it works

AUCTION MARKETPLACE

Find your next UK domain

Each timed auction has its own closing date. DemandStart listings wait for verified buyer interest before their countdown begins. Only email-verified bids appear in the displayed amount and bid count.
