Crash Bidding
If you want to bid on a domain backorder that you did not place, you can pay a crash bidding fee to join the auction up to 10 minutes before it ends.
What is Crash Bidding
In the Bidding Hall, users who did not place an original domain backorder can pay a crash bidding fee to join the auction.
Crash Bidding fees
Crash bidding fee: To use Crash Bidding to join an auction, a CNY 50.00 fee is required. This fee is non-refundable once payment is confirmed, regardless of whether you win the bid.
NoteThe crash bidding fee cannot be used as a deposit or applied toward the settlement amount.
Domain purchase price: The winning bidder must pay the final price for the domain. The total amount depends on the specific domain type.
Service fee: No service fee is charged.
NoteThe service fee is a percentage of the final sale price that Alibaba Cloud charges the seller. This fee does not apply to the buyer, who is only responsible for the domain's full purchase price as specified in the order.
