Average 48 hours. Our team manages the process end-to-end and keeps both parties updated.

Once the buyer confirms receipt of the domain, escrow releases your payout within 24 hours. Bank transfer arrives within 1–3 business days.

Our team follows up with the buyer. If genuinely unresponsive, we have processes to resolve this. Escrow ensures your payment is secured before the transfer begins.

Cancellation after escrow activates has implications. Contact our support team immediately if you need to cancel — we'll advise on the situation.
