BuyBuys

How BuyBuys grew into a domain brokerage

The company started in 2018 with a simple observation: most domain sales happened between people who knew each other, and everyone else was left guessing. We began by helping a handful of local startups find names that weren't already taken, and the work grew from there.

2018

First listings and a manual process

We built a spreadsheet of available names, checked them by hand, and negotiated every deal over email. It was slow, but it taught us what buyers actually cared about: clarity, history, and a fair price.

2020

Formal valuation service

After repeated requests from sellers who had no idea what their domains were worth, we introduced a structured evaluation method based on comparable sales and traffic data. That became the core of our service.

2022

Secure transfer pipeline

We moved away from ad-hoc handovers and built a step-by-step transfer process with escrow-like checks. Both sides now get confirmation at each stage, which cut disputes almost to zero.

2024

Catalog expansion and niche focus

Today the catalog covers geographic, generic, and sector-specific names. We still review every listing manually, and we still answer the phone when a client calls. The process is more organized, but the approach hasn't changed.

Intermediação criteriosa para nomes de domínio com valor real

Na BuyBuys, atuamos como intermediários entre quem procura um endereço digital forte e quem já detém um nome com potencial. Não somos um simples diretório: analisamos cada domínio pelo seu histórico, tráfego estimado e comparáveis de mercado, para que a negociação seja transparente e o preço reflita o que o nome realmente vale.

A nossa equipa acompanha todo o processo — da primeira avaliação à transferência segura. Trabalhamos com domínios genéricos, geográficos e de nicho, organizados por setor e extensão, para que encontre o endereço certo para o seu projeto ou coloque o seu domínio à venda com condições claras.

Common questions about buying and selling domains

These are the questions we hear most often from both buyers and sellers. If yours is not here, contact us and we will reply within one business day.

How do you determine the value of a domain?

We look at comparable sales, keyword demand, extension, length, and any existing traffic or backlinks. For sellers, the initial evaluation is free and takes about two working days. We do not use automated guesswork; each name is reviewed manually.

What happens after I make an offer on a listed domain?

We pass your offer to the seller along with a short note about your intended use. The seller can accept, decline, or counter. We handle all back-and-forth communication so you do not have to negotiate directly. If both sides agree, we move to the transfer stage.

How is the transfer handled safely?

We use a controlled handover process. Payment is held until the domain is moved to your registrar account and you confirm access. For most extensions the transfer takes between five and seven days. We stay involved until you have full control.

Do you buy domains directly from owners?

Yes. If you own a domain and want to sell it, we can list it on our marketplace or find a buyer through our network. We do not charge a listing fee. Our commission is only due when the sale closes, and the rate is agreed before we start.
