Hi All! :hi:

By request, we've decided to start a thread dedicated to Sedo. We're looking for invaluable insight into what domainers want and need out of our parking program (and marketplace, of course).

Questions, comments, suggestions, tips are welcome! We're hoping this will be a great discussion about what works at Sedo and what might not (please be constructive and respectful to others in your feedback) so that everyone involved can benefit and learn from it.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas! Happy Holidays!

Always,
Keith
(on behalf of Sedo)

@Sedo - hasn't been here in awhile.

Ok, called them. They have 2 options, 2 and 3. 2 is for recently bought domains, transfers etc, 3 is for other stuff like parking. First 2 times I picked option 3, it rang for a few times, then got a message they were busy, then the call was disconnected by them. 3rd time I picked option 2, got somebody, asked them when the site will be fixed, hasn't been working for 2 days. They mentioned the data center move, that they were aware of the problems and have tech working on them.

What they should do is put up a message so people can see when they login, or send an email to let people know they are working on the problem.

Tel. (617) 499-7200

Looks like they just added:
"Parking Statistics Delay
We are having a maintenance issue that causes our Parking Statistics not to have been updated since Saturday, 30 June 2018.

This is a simple delay in the statistics. We are working on fixing the issue as soon as possible. We will inform you once the issue has been solved. Thanks for your patience."

So looks like they're aware of the many problems and working on them.

I did. My traffic was going nowhere. Not sure I will return to @Sedo after this.

Still broken. Just did Voodoo Mass Modify, so now offers come directly to me. Probably better off that way anyway. Lost business for Sedo.

I was having issues as well but I ended up deleting all Sedo cookies and it worked. All my redirects work as well. I wonder how many others cannot access it? That’s not going to help sales.

sedo turning to crap....
now im virtually asked to verify and send pics for all new domains i add...

thats not at all what they promised..they said itd just take couple days to verify....
that promise related specifically to those who do not change their text records stuff for faster validation.. this is beginning to stink more and more.

I wonder how many tons of sellers and domains they have lost during these lame days. And - who knows - maybe also buyers?

Still, there are the biggest and all end users go there to search for names etc. However, their shit attitude in this issue shows perfectly how many flying fucks they give to their sellers.

Did anyone noticed a change?

Column name was "Suggested Price" as shown here : http://prntscr.com/k1w12a

But now when I add a domain, I don't see that column.

thats actually a change for better.. because the sooner you stop paying attention to automated valuations (of any kind), the better off you will be in domaining.

its what all domainers eventually realize. and what no domainers believe in when they start.

They have not changed anything, still cannot access uniques and clicks count since the weekend "maintenance".
Sent in a ticket but they have not responded at all, like always, they are complacent.

Any ideas where I should send my portfolio, SEDO seems to be kaput...

Bodis, Voodoo... there are others but personally I like those two.

Working again for me.

And then new message when you login:

Maintenance Issues Update
The technical difficulties in our transfer center are all solved now.


There are only some smaller issues left that are being worked on currently and we hope to have everything resolved as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience on this.

Yea, I am back in too. Feel bad for those who were in the middle of negotiating, paying, etc.

Update: not moments after I posted this message did I encounter trouble. No CSS formatting now. Everything is plain text and all over the place. Looks horrible. Tried it in two different browsers. Sedo, you really need to get your act together.

On top of that this error now:
This page isn’t working
sedo.com didn’t send any data.

Is it possible with Sedo to choose a different pic for the for sale page?

finally found this page depending on your ttl settings on your TXT or CNAME, it will only take minutes if you use the domain ownership verification DIY style.
searched google and I ended up here.

I had for a week login problem with Sedo, finally solved it by logging in incognito mode in Chrome.

It seems some ad blockers might see the "Buy this domain" widget as an ad and block it.
This still seems to be happening seven months later.. just a completely blank page with no link to buy the domain O_o

My only problem with Sedo is their Landers.
There are only a couple of choices now and they are out dated and not good.

They still concentrate too much on Ads and the Buy this Domain button is extremely small and there is no real emphases on selling the domain.

I still give Sedo's escrow high marks and think its top notch, very fast and efficient but their landers are pretty bad.

I have created my own site and landers and have moved about 2/3rds of my domains so far.

Word of advice,

Be careful with what domains you list at Sedo for parking. Especially in less 'established' TLDs.

I have a mixed portfolio (thousands of coms but also of other tld's) and lately I've been buying a lot of .xyz, and decided to list the whole portfolio there in a test and to give parking a try (more of a test to see what's what). They've been selling so it's good.

Now just a few days later after also parking for ads revenue, I received email from Sedo that our entire account is banned at parking. (unnatural traffic, 3 sites reported out of 13K)

I'm not really upset of losing the parking revenue (dont' care about that) but I'd be glad to still be able to continue using the sales landers. However that doesn't seem to work anymore, which is intriguing.

I understand thoughnwhy Sedo is doing this. It's pretty common in the ads industry, unfortunately; and Google Ads does the same for example; even though at many times there are collateral victims but anyway. Probably they have even been reported by their upstream ads network instead, and passed on to Sedo.

I think the right option would however be, to switch to a sales lander page automatically and continue to allow landers for domain sales instead. Or at least for the others 99.99% in portfolio which don't have an issue(13K names today and yes, 3 bad apples bought by accident).

Is there an option for that that I'm unaware of?

I could not prevent this happening as I have no clue which out of 13K names is getting what traffic like that. Be careful as it might happen to you.

Anyway, I've sent Sedo an email of being sorry for the situation, but not requesting any review.

I'm happy to sell domains since this is what I do, not for parking (that's pennies).

Apart for warning NP readers to not get into this mistake, I posted here more in the idea that perhaps Sedo would read this. I guess they earn more if they allowed parking for sales only (no ads shown) instead of simply 404-ing all landers in such a situation.

I’m trying to sell a domain through Sedo but it looks like they’re on holiday.
I want to use their “external transfer service”, sent them an email since Friday but still no reply and the transaction is not created yet.
Tried calling them but the answering machine is saying that they are on holiday - both US and German support numbers.
Little bit puzzled - isn’t the holiday season over since like 2 weeks ago?
@Sedo - can you please help?
