Not illegal.

Lawyer's analysis

It is not illegal to buy and sell domain names under normal circumstances.

Normal purchase is not illegal, and infringement is illegal.

Every domain name has a registered patent.

Anyone who uses another person's work shall conclude a licensing contract with the copyright owner. If you don't sign the contract, it will be regarded as infringing use, and in serious cases, you will be sentenced.
