Home / Domain and Website Rbcpay
Buy or sell domains and websites securely
Rbcpay is the dominant payment method for the buying and selling of domain names. The buyer’s funds are held until the domain has actually been transferred and confirmed.
How a domain transaction works
1. Agree on terms
Buyer and seller agree the price and the transfer method for the domain or website.
2. Buyer pays Rbcpay
Funds are secured with Rbcpay before the seller begins the transfer.
3. Seller transfers the domain
The seller initiates the transfer to the buyer’s registrar account.
4. Buyer approves the domain name
The buyer confirms the domain is in their control and matches what was agreed.
5. Rbcpay pays the seller
The funds are released and the payment cannot be reversed.

Domain names
Single domains and portfolios, including premium and aftermarket names sold between private parties and brokers.

Domain name holding
Arrangements where a domain is held securely while payment is completed over an agreed schedule.
Transfer is confirmed before any money moves
The most common risk in a domain sale is one side acting first. Rbcpay removes it: the seller transfers knowing the funds are already secured, and the buyer pays knowing the money is not released until the domain is genuinely in their control.
- Seller sees confirmed funds before transferring
- Buyer approves only after verifying control
- Payment is final once approved, with no chargebacks
Works across registrars and across borders
Domain sales frequently involve two parties in different countries using different registrars. Rbcpay acts as the neutral party for both, whatever the transfer route.
- Neutral holding of funds for both parties
- Terms documented before payment
- Suitable for broker-facilitated sales
Domain transaction questions
When exactly does the seller get paid?
Only after the buyer has confirmed that the domain is in their control and matches what was agreed. Until then the funds remain with Rbcpay.
What if the transfer fails or is reversed?
The buyer does not approve, so the funds are not released. The situation is resolved under the terms both parties accepted at the start.
Can a broker be included in a domain sale?
Yes. A brokered transaction lets the broker set their commission up front, which is then released at the same time the seller is paid.
Ready to transact a domain or website?
Agree the terms, secure the funds, and release payment only once the transfer is confirmed.
