How buying works
Simple, protected and fast. Here's how payment and transfer work when you buy a domain from Strategic Acquisitions Inc.
- Choose a name
Find it in the catalogue. Listed names show a buy-now price; others are open to offers.
- Agree the price
Use the listed price, or send an offer through the verified form. We reply by email.
- Pay on a trusted platform
Pick any option below. The platform holds or processes your payment, not a stranger's bank account.
- Get the domain
Within 24 hours of payment verification we push the domain to your account or send the transfer code.
Marketplaces and escrow
Prices are in US dollars and already include the platform's seller fees. Some platforms add their own buyer-side charges for certain payment types.
| Platform | How it works | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Escrow.com | Escrow.com holds your payment and releases it to us only after the domain is in your account. | Within 24 hours of funds being secured |
| Spaceship SellerHub | Spaceship's marketplace. For names registered at Spaceship, ownership moves to your Spaceship account automatically once payment is verified. | Instant after payment verification (names at Spaceship) |
| Afternic (GoDaddy) | GoDaddy's domain marketplace. You pay through GoDaddy's checkout and GoDaddy handles the transfer. | Handled by GoDaddy |
| Atom | Atom's marketplace with its own buyer protection; Atom manages payment and handover. | Handled by Atom |
| Sedo | Sedo's marketplace; Sedo's transfer service holds the payment and manages the handover. | Handled by Sedo |
| Dynadot Marketplace | Dynadot's marketplace. For names registered at Dynadot, the domain moves into your Dynadot account after payment. | Instant after payment (names at Dynadot) |
Checkout links for an agreed price
Once we agree a price, we can send you a secure checkout link on one of these platforms.
| Link | How it works |
|---|---|
| AtomPay | A secure Atom payment link for the agreed price. |
| SellerHub Checkout Link | A Spaceship checkout link for the agreed price; instant delivery for names at Spaceship. |
| Sedo Domain Transfer Service | Sedo holds the payment and manages the transfer for a privately agreed deal. |
| Afternic Custom Checkout Link | A GoDaddy/Afternic checkout link for the agreed price. |
| Dynadot Pay Link | A Dynadot payment link for the agreed price; instant delivery for names at Dynadot. |
Direct bank transfer
How fast will I get the domain?
Instant: same registrar or marketplace delivery
Every name we sell is registered at Spaceship, GoDaddy or Dynadot. If you have an account at the same registrar, we can push the domain straight into it, usually within minutes of payment being verified. Buying through that registrar's own marketplace (Spaceship SellerHub for names at Spaceship, Dynadot Marketplace for names at Dynadot) delivers the domain automatically.
Within 24 hours: transfer code
If you'd rather move the domain to another registrar, we unlock it and send the transfer (auth) code within 24 hours of payment verification. The registry then completes the move, normally within five days, and often sooner.
.si domains
The .si registry has no post-registration or post-transfer lock, so .si names can change registrar at any time.
What the 60-day lock means
Under ICANN's Transfer Policy, a registrar may refuse to move a domain to a different registrar within 60 days of its registration or of a previous registrar transfer, and for 60 days after a change of registrant unless that lock was waived.
The lock only affects moves between registrars. A domain inside the lock can still be pushed instantly to your account at its current registrar, and you can move it elsewhere after the lock ends.
Source: ICANN Transfer Policy. Lock status comes from registry RDAP and registrar records.
Who am I buying from?
Directly from the owner, Strategic Acquisitions Inc., a domain investment company in British Columbia, Canada. There is no broker in the middle.
Are the listed prices final?
Listed prices are buy-now prices in US dollars and already include the checkout platform's seller fees. Names without a listed price are open to offers: send yours through the contact form.
Which payment methods can I use?
Escrow.com, Spaceship SellerHub, Afternic (GoDaddy), Atom, Sedo and Dynadot Marketplace, or a checkout link for the agreed price: AtomPay, SellerHub Checkout Link, Sedo Domain Transfer Service, Afternic Custom Checkout Link or Dynadot Pay Link. Wise bank transfer is available after a written agreement.
How fast is the transfer?
We start the transfer within 24 hours of payment being verified. If you use the same registrar as the domain (or buy through that registrar's own marketplace), the domain can move to your account almost instantly. A transfer to a different registrar is completed by the registry, usually within five days.
What is the 60-day transfer lock?
Under ICANN's Transfer Policy, a registrar may refuse to move a domain to another registrar within 60 days of its registration or of a previous registrar transfer. Moving it to another account at the same registrar is not affected. Each domain in our catalogue shows whether it is transfer-ready or the date its lock ends.
Can an AI agent buy a domain from you?
An agent can read our machine-readable catalogue at /.well-known/domain-sale.json and llms.txt to find names and prices. Every purchase and offer needs a human: our forms use a human-verification check, and payment happens only on the platforms listed on this site.
How do I avoid scams?
Only pay through the platforms listed on this site, or a checkout link that we send after you contact us through this site. We never ask for payment in chat apps, in cryptocurrency, or through links that aren't on one of these platforms.
Ready when you are.
Find a name, or ask about one you don't see listed.
