Question 1

Why does checkout happen on Namecheap?

Accepted Answer

Because you should not have to trust the seller with your money. Namecheap Market escrows the transaction: you pay them, they release the domain to you, and only then does the seller get paid. It is the same protection an escrow service gives, without the extra fee.

Question 2

How fast do I actually get the domain?

Accepted Answer

If you have or create a free Namecheap account, the domain typically lands in it within a few days of payment, often faster. Moving it to another registrar afterwards is a standard transfer, and the owner will help if you want.

Question 3

Can I negotiate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The listed prices are honest, not opening theatrics, but reasonable offers are always read and answered the same day. Email hello@spinbear.com with the domain and your number.

Question 4

Who am I buying from?

Accepted Answer

Spindomains is the personal portfolio of Spinbear: one owner, based in Europe. No brokerage desk, no commission stack; you deal directly with the owner.

Question 5

Is the price in US dollars? Any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

All prices are USD. Namecheap adds no buyer premium on Market buy-now purchases; the first year of registration is included in the hand-over. The listed price is what you pay.
