Simply because credit card charges can unfortunately be easily reversed after the transfer of a Domain Name.  Domain Name transfer reversal on the other hand is extremely difficult (basically impossible, without the cooperation of the new Domain Name owner).  URLMerchant has instituted this policy for the security of both the Domain Name Seller and itself.

So as not to scare off potential Buyers with a high or out of date asking prices.  Most names sell for less than the asking price through the process of negotiation.  While a Seller might ask $40,000 for a Domain Name, it is possible that they may take less.  URLMerchant facilitates and conducts negotiations between Buyers and Sellers.  All bids over $750 are always considered.  Check out the prices on out Updated Specials page

URLMerchant will under no circumstances release a Buyers' funds to a Seller until a Domain Name has been successfully transferred.  Buyer funds will be refunded in whole if a Domain Name is not transferred - no fees are deducted for failed or aborted Domain Name transfers.

Yes.  InterNIC requires a renewal of their registration fee when Domain Names are transferred to a new owner.  The current InterNIC fee is $70.00 USD for two years registration and $35.00 USD per year thereafter.  The Buyer is responsible for this fee and will be billed directly by InterNIC.  An insufficient funds fee of $100 applies to returned checks.  Priority international postage fees are $25.  Wire transfer fees are $20 per transfer (incoming and outgoing).   Need to park your domain name?

Make a counter offer of course!  If a Seller lists a price of $14,500 USD as the asking price, it is our experience that a sale would actually occur at a lower price than that (although not always).  If you don't make a counter offer and try to negotiate an agreeable price, then you won't get the name you want.   Don't be discouraged, make a counter offer!

Listing with URLMerchant is always free.  We have no plans to charge to list your Domain Names for sale.

URLMerchant is a consortium of individuals who collectively have undertaken to act as a profit generating intermediary between Domain Name Buyers and Sellers.  The URLMerchant general sales manager is Morgan Flom.

Nothing! URLMerchant will list your Domain Name for free on it's site.  You agree to be bound by our Seller Agreement and pay URLMerchant any commission due on the sale price of your Domain Name plus any transfer fees (usually nothing).  Without exception, URLMerchant negotiates directly with potential Buyers.

Typically, since URLMerchant withholds Buyer funds until successful transfer occurs, you will be paid the sale price minus URLMerchant commission and any additional agreed upon transfer fees by company check within 15 business days of the date of transfer.

No commission is charged when this happens.  You may still use URLMerchant to broker the sale, so that all parties are ensured the transaction takes place smoothly and correctly.
