# Buy a listed name

Review and fill a signed Seaport order atomically.

## Overview

A marketplace purchase is an onchain exchange: payment and ENS ownership move in one Seaport fill when the order remains valid. ENS.Tools does not escrow the name.

## What this covers

- Displays price, order source, seller, expiry, and included platform fee.
- Prepares a Seaport 1.6 fill using signed order data.
- Checks order and ownership conditions before wallet review.
- Links the resulting transaction to a block explorer.

## Before you run this workflow

### Networks

- Ethereum mainnet

### Prerequisites

- Connected wallet
- Correct owner/buyer address
- Live executable signed order where required

### Wallet permissions

- EIP-712 order signature or transaction signature
- Token approval only when the reviewed action requires it

### Expected result

- A signed order or confirmed atomic settlement with itemized price, gas, and fee

### Errors and recovery

- Re-check ownership, approval, counter, signature, expiry, and consideration
- Do not treat an indexed price as an executable order

## How to use it

1. **Inspect the name.** Check security, expiry, records, current owner, and the exact asset being sold.
2. **Review the order.** Confirm total payment, currency, seller, order expiry, and fee recipient.
3. **Simulate and sign.** Approve the fill only if the wallet target and value match the summary.
4. **Confirm ownership.** After confirmation, refresh the domain page and verify the new owner or Name Wrapper holder.

## A listing can become invalid

> Transfers, revocations, changed approvals, cancelled orders, and Seaport counter changes can invalidate a signed listing before you fill it.
