We've added Instant Purchase endpoints so you can buy eligible Closeout / Buy Now auction domains programmatically — list eligible payment profiles, preview all-in pricing, then purchase — so you can automate fixed-price Closeout acquisition without the Auctions UI.

## What changed

* `GET /v1/customers/{customerId}/paymentProfiles` — list `ACTIVE` payment profiles eligible for Instant Purchase.
* `POST /v1/customers/{customerId}/auctions/purchases/preview` — preview all-in pricing for up to 10 Closeout domains (`totalPrice` in USD micro-units).
* `POST /v1/customers/{customerId}/auctions/purchases` — purchase one or more eligible Closeout domains using a `paymentProfileId` (optional; defaults to the most recently used supported method).

You can use the `MY` alias for `{customerId}`. Authenticate with a legacy API key (`sso-key`). Partial success returns `207 Multi-Status` with per-domain `status` and `failureReason`.

## Who is affected

Available to developers with Auctions Instant Purchase access and a configured payment profile. Existing Domains and Aftermarket partner integrations are unchanged; these endpoints are additive. Instant Purchase does not place bids on open Expired Auctions — use the bidding endpoint for that.
