A domain marketplace is a platform where domain names are listed for sale, enabling buyers and sellers to transact with varying levels of marketplace intermediation. Major platforms include Sedo (largest global marketplace, ~20M listings), Afternic (GoDaddy-owned, deep registrar distribution network), Dan.com (acquired by GoDaddy), and Efty. Marketplaces typically charge sellers a commission of 10-20% upon successful sale and offer services such as [[domain-lander|landing pages]], escrow integration, and broker-assisted negotiation for high-value transactions. Distribution networks like Afternic's push listed domains to appear as premium options at over 100 partner registrars.
Example
A seller listed recipe.io on Afternic at $4,500 buy-it-now; after six weeks the listing surfaced at Namecheap during a registration search and sold instantly through Afternic's distribution network.
