How the transfer works
- Agree the price
Email to buy at the listed price, or send an offer. You get a reply from Akshay Johny, the owner. - Pay through escrow
Escrow.com holds the money until you have the domain, so neither side takes a risk. - Receive the domain
A push to your registrar account, or an auth code to move it to your own registrar. - Escrow releases payment
Once the domain shows in your account, escrow pays the seller. Usually done in 1–3 days.
Questions
How much is metal.bid?
The buy-now price is $399 (US dollars). Serious offers from $75 are also considered — email with your offer.
How do I pay safely?
Use Escrow.com: you pay escrow, the domain is transferred to you, and only then is the money released to the seller. Escrow fees are usually split. A direct transfer is possible if you prefer.
How long does the transfer take?
Usually one to three days after payment is confirmed: a push to your account at the same registrar, or an auth code for a transfer to your own registrar.
What happens to the free tools on this domain?
The tools on subdomains can be removed before handover, or kept running for you if you want the visitors and content. Tell us which you prefer.
Is the .bid extension a good choice?
.bid is a generic top-level domain open to anyone. It reads naturally for auctions, tenders and any business where prices are set by bidding.
