# List a name for sale

Create and publish a native ENS.Tools Seaport listing.

## Overview

Listing prepares a Seaport order for a name you control. The order is signed in your wallet and submitted to the marketplace; the name stays in your wallet until a valid buyer fills it.

## What this covers

- Owner and asset checks before listing.
- Price and expiration controls.
- Approval guidance for the correct ENS asset contract.
- Native 2% platform fee included atomically in the order.
- Cancellation support through Seaport order state rather than offchain promises.

## 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. **Select a controlled name.** Connect the owner wallet and choose the exact name. Wrapped and unwrapped names use different token contracts.
2. **Set price and expiry.** Choose terms you are comfortable leaving publicly fillable until expiry or cancellation.
3. **Approve if required.** Grant the minimum relevant marketplace approval to the asset contract when the wallet requests it.
4. **Sign and submit.** Review the Seaport typed data, sign the order, and wait for marketplace confirmation.
