BUYER VERIFICATION
A requirement that buyers are verified before bidding or buying, sometimes above a threshold.
Whether it applies depends on the settings in force.
WHY IT EXISTS
It reduces failed sales and bad-faith bidding on higher-value names.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU AS A BUYER
An additional step before you can act on certain listings.
Complete it before you need it, not when an auction is closing.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU AS A SELLER
Fewer bidders, and more serious ones.
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS
Some sales involve an agreement before details are disclosed.
Whether that is available depends on the settings in force.
WHEN THAT ARISES
Higher-value names where the seller does not want interest known.
WHAT TO READ
Anything you are asked to agree to. All of it.
WHAT IT IS NOT
A reduction in your obligations under the marketplace rules.
WHAT TO TAKE ADVICE ON
Any agreement of substance.
