### What is a domain auction?
A domain auction is an online event where premium, expiring, or privately listed domains are sold to the highest bidder.

**For Buyers,** auctions make it easy to find valuable, brandable domains at competitive prices. Bidders can participate in real-time or over a set period to secure domains that match their brand or investment goals.

**For Sellers,** auctions provide a fast, transparent way to sell domains and maximize returns. Listing in curated events gives access to a targeted audience, with secure payments and guaranteed domain transfers.

### How do Atom's domain auctions work?
As a **buyer**, you can bid on any listed domains. If you are the highest bidder and the domain meets its reserve price, you’ll win the auction and purchase the domain. Before placing a bid, you will be informed of any applicable renewal fee for domains supported by Atom registrar. By placing a bid, you agree to pay this renewal fee. You may check this link to see the supported TLDs and renewal costs.

### What types of domains are sold at auction?
Domain auctions typically feature three categories: expired domains (those whose previous owners did not renew), closeout domains (expired listings that received no bids), and premium domains (short, keyword-rich, or highly brandable names listed by their owners or registrars).

### What is the AI Value Score?
The AI Value Score predicts a domain's value based on 50+ data points. These scores are calculated using Atom.com's AI Domain Appraisal Tool, which is the most advanced tool of its kind. Find out more [here](https://www.atom.com/domain-appraisal).

### How and when does the domain I win at auctions get transferred to me?
Once payment is submitted for the domain, the transfer process begins. Atom manages the transfer directly to your Domain Manager. Transfers typically take **1-2 days**. After the transfer is complete, you will be notified.

### What is the difference between a domain auction and a domain marketplace?
A domain marketplace allows buy-now purchases at fixed prices, while a domain auction uses competitive bidding to determine the final sale price. Many platforms, including Atom, combine both models.
