Check domains in that auction ;-)
Who is owner and who own that company ?
And then look at registration dates of domains in that auction.

Sedo - please finally CLEAN your database, now you are misleading GoDaddy customers!

Well, a deal with GoDaddy to sell sedo-listed domains first sound good....

But. Today GoDaddy backorder catched a domain for me. I listed it through GoDaddy premium listing and at is now supposed to be available through GoDaddy 1st page for instant purchase. No relations with Sedo so far...

But, when I checked the search at GoDaddy, to my surprise, I found that my new domain is "Available through GoDaddy auctions" instead, as it is was also listed at SEDO by previous owner who let it drop. Sedo.com domainsearch offers me the same my domain for "Buy Now" with a premium price set by previous owner. Sedo had 30 days of this domain redemption period and 5 days of pendingdelete to make an easy finding that this domain should no more be listed for sale! But this never happened.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=408817

So: SEDO made a mistake by sending to GoDaddy their whole "buy now" database, which is known to be outdated. Exactly the same story when we try to park new domains with Sedo and have to wait for the ownership verification due to internal system conflict. OK, while this may be acceptable for parking - SIMILAR CONFLICTS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN WITH SALES THROUGH SUCH A POWERFUL CHANNEL AS GODADDY

And, GoDaddy made a huge mistake by accepting this SEDO outdated not verified forsale database for advertising "forsale in their auctions".

Well, AFAIK Sedo has separate verifications for domains using SEDO MLS instant transfer protocol supported by limited number of registrars. Isn't it obvious that only these domains should have been sent to GoDaddy for distribution, or do I miss something?

[freedom30]

...sedo was not perceptive enough to get the .me extension for its future use...http://www.chefpatrick.com/sedo-is-i...porn-business/

had to go to sedo.com/me

Goes to show that they are still dwelling in the 20th century and not concerned about what the future of cyberspace has in store for the average internet user. There do exist other realms (extensions) that the new generation of users are not only familiar with but quite comfortable using. Sedo should get on the 21st century wagon as it is steadily pulling away from the rusting monolith...

But it is already for sale, but the message is worrying so you go to Sales View to check, and find you can edit it there.

Sedo, please could you FIX this?

You've also changed the layout in Sales View so it is a fixed width that is too wide for my ordinary laptop. So it is becoming slow and difficult to change prices, and it now takes many steps whereas before I often changed them directly in Custom View, usually changing a Fixed Price listing up or down in response to events.

It seems like layout changes were made without enough testing. Well, you've had the feedback now.

I noticed this just a few hours after the bid came in and I thought immediately something was strange.

Could be some kind of money laundering.

But they somehow qualified for Sedo’s Premium certification.

What are the odds just days after creating a name, (and not even a good one) a name that has never been created before and you not only get an offer but you get an offer of $44,000 USD?


Something smells really fishy and it's not last weeks halibut.

As for the GoDaddy SedoMLS question, all you need to do to ensure your domains are distributed at Go Daddy’s site is to set a “Buy Now” price for those domains in your Sedo account. Any "Buy Now" name will be displayed in search results at GoDaddy.com, if a customer searches for a domain or keyword related to your domain name.

Thanks!

But this still excludes some extensions and I can no longer find a list of those extensions at Sedo http://www.sedo.com/us/sedo/sedomls/ - is there one? Can someone post a link to it?

Just tried searching for a geo at Godaddy which I have in a less popular extension - it is taken in all extensions. Does not appear as available at Godaddy / MLS, but further down that page it lets me backorder it in that same extension from Godaddy for a low two-figure sum. Is that helping anyone?

So back to my original question - when will ALL extensions be fed into Sedo's MLS?

I have sent so many regarding shill bidding and phishing IDN my fingers have been typed down to the bone!

In general zero action!

If you want to see the garbage that you guys are promoting check out the "featured domains" (again)and current auction thread.

Quite appalling that this has been allowed to go on for so long,shows little respect for genuine customers and a very bad image for the supposed number 1 domain platform on the net.

Sedo has some new rules. From their email:

Huh??? I thought Sedo research showed that three times as many sales would be made with Buy-it-Now, that seeing an empty Make-An-Offer space intimidated customers. Well, if there is a place on the offer page to make an offer then the domain is not fixed price and the customer is confused - and bids $60, if he bids at all.

A make-an-offer space removes credibility from the price given. This can be an option, but it is a terrible idea to require it.

I totally agree. When I read that email from SEDO I was like "huh?". They are probably going to raise their commissions again next.

Studys have shown that if the seller lowers their asking price to a level that makes a deal possible Sedo will make coin %100 of the time whether you do or not.

So Sedo will constantly be searching for ways to get sellers to accept lower offers.


On another topic of the email, Zero Click interesting depending on the way eligibility is decided.

That's great, but if the domain were to sell on Godaddy do we still only pay the 10% commission fee since we have our domain parked on Sedo and it has the Buy Now price?

I haven't singed up for the SedoMLS Prenium but I see my Buy Now Parked domains are listed for sale on Godaddy.

I just want to make sure if my domain were to sale on Godaddy I dont have to pay more then the 10%.

Thanks, it is very quick and easy:

Quote:

Sedo may add a feature allowing buyers to suggest a lower price on a seller's Buy Now listings. If the feature is available: Q.1 Would you opt all of your existing Buy Now domains into this feature?

etc four questions in total plus suggestion box.

I made this suggestion:

Quote:

Why not create an option to have them time-limited, ie just for a week or month, and make that clear to potential buyers? This might improve sales.

And I basically said NO I do not want this new feature.

Having said that, I once sold a domain a bit below the fixed price after someone contacted me via the whois with a lower offer. I can see some might like this, but requiring it would be out of order and weaken the fixed prices imo.
