.auction

.auction is a generic top-level domain built around competitive bidding. It can describe both traditional auction businesses and online platforms where buyers submit bids for goods or assets.

The extension can suit auction houses, collectible marketplaces, vehicle or equipment auctions, property sales, charity auctions and software used to conduct bidding. A category or brand before .auction can create a highly descriptive address.

A .auction domain does not verify ownership of items, auctioneer licensing, bidder protection or the legitimacy of a sale. Those requirements depend on the platform, asset and jurisdiction.

Some auction activities are regulated, especially where property, financial products or licensed goods are involved. The domain itself is only branding.

.auction is an open generic top-level domain, generally available through participating registrars subject to registry and ICANN policies, reserved names, premium classifications and third-party rights.
