All questions and contact
How does CaptureSites make money?

We charge a commission on successful transactions: 10% on buy-now sales and 15% on lease-to-own payments. There are no listing fees or monthly charges for sellers.

What types of domains can be listed?

The CaptureSites marketplace shows approved premium domains only. You can still park any domain and sell it through CaptureSites, but it appears in public listings only once we approve it. Premium names are concise, recognizable or pronounceable, use an accepted extension, avoid hyphens and generally avoid digits. Sellers must own the domain and avoid trademark issues.

Can I negotiate the price of a domain?

Yes, on listings where the seller accepts offers. Use Make an offer on the listing page; the seller can accept, decline or counter, and you can counter back. Offers expire after 7 days. Once an offer is accepted, the domain is reserved for you for 72 hours while you check out. Some listings are offers-only and show no asking price.

What happens if the domain transfer fails?

If the seller does not provide a valid transfer code in time, or the transfer fails or times out, you are refunded the purchase price to your original payment method. For CaptureSites-hosted delivery, a registrar charge already submitted to the registrar is non-refundable unless the registrar credits it back. Your bank may take several business days to show the refund.

How does lease-to-own work?

You pay a fixed monthly amount over 6, 12, 18, 24 or 36 months at 6, 8, 10, 12 or 15% APR respectively. The domain is held in escrow by CaptureSites during the lease, and ownership is released to you when the final payment clears.

When do I get paid after a sale?

Your share is sent to your connected Stripe account once the buyer's transfer is confirmed complete. For leases, your share of each installment is sent when that installment is paid. Stripe's payout schedule then determines when funds reach your bank.
