Is Sedo trying to prevent sales?

In addition to showing location of the seller , Sedo seems to be showing appraisal value of domains during negotiations. I see it under "additional info" under "bidding history". I don't see a price, but there might be a price there, and it may be well below our asking price, and buyers may see it during negotiations, or after deciding to buy but before payment.
.........................
Dan is also very bad so far. There are two "sales" and both were unpaid, and will never be paid. Maybe brokers with unshaved face are creating unserious impression. Maybe instead introducing themselves as brokers, they should introduce themselves as international lawyers working for interpol. Then maybe buyers would be scared. And creating invoice before payment is extremely bad idea. Sellers should be totally hidden unless they cheat. Buyers see I have xxxx number of domains, and then they would think, I shouldn't pay xxxxx for them, because then this domainer would be ultra rich if all these domains sell, or they don't sell and I'm the only fool.
............
In short there is no good marketplace.
Should I evaluate Epik as well. One thing I don't like, I place a description, I'm not allowed to type a long description, and my description doesn't appear on the landing page, so landing pages are pure duplicate content, and this is bad for seo. But I will experiment with Epik anyway soon.

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
I guess, @Sedo doesn't follow current web standards for redirect chains and cookies...

@Sedo
And also reduce in size your HUGE Cookies warning!
On some landers it covers up to half of visible area... so visitor doesn't understand anything!

Whats with these ugly cookie warning. A potential customer types in a domain only to see a cookie warning from a different url
Dont click on unsuspecting links~!
Covers 80% of the screen in mobile. :vomit:
@Jurgen Wolf has been requesting for almost 2 months, please rectify this situation

YMMV. I've never had one moment where reported website bugs to @Sedo have been fixed. And I've reported a lot of them using their ticket system and over telephone. Good luck reporting, though.

I took a picture of the page that showed when i typed in url. It was that ugly
Dont know how to upload pictures(screenshots) to namepros, but in summary the cookie thing is preventing sales.

Find an image host on internet. Upload it there. Hotlink from there using image icon above. Make sure no important data is contained in that image. You can find something which doesn't require login, or registration, or payment.

The problem* is probably in the browser. The error page for 302 redirects is a default error page, and cannot be screenshotted the normal way.

*Not the problem at Sedo, but the problem of making screenshots of error pages.

I cannot make a screenshot in FF either, but it says:

The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to sedo.com.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.​

To @Sedo: you're trying to do 302 redirects the wrong way. Probably you want to redirect to the /us/ URL, which is only working when entered manually in the browser. Typing just sedo.com in the browser will produce an error page - "too many redirects". Visitors are Not Able To View Your Main Page, your precious website.

To @Sedo: If you have any questions on how to do 302 redirects properly, let me know. This redirect problem is here for years. We're missing sales. You're missing sales, and it's not professional that it takes such a long time to fix.

Hi @Jurgen Wolf ,

We appreciate the feedback and are currently corresponding with you via direct messaging.

Thank you,
Sedo

@Sedo

You wrote the above message in Dec 2020.

That didn't succeed. Please see the redirect logs in this thread. I hate to say it, but it's extremely difficult to get errors reported and fixed at Sedo. I've been trying this for years, but did not succeed, either.

I hope you think these errors are important enough to investigate and FIX.

The Sedo website is not visible.

I didn't experience such redirect problems yet, but of course this bug matters a lot.

Any suggestion like "update your browser" won't work,
because endusers won't make such changes just because we do.

Hi @topdom

This problem can only be resolved on Sedo's side -- this is not a client problem.

On http://redirectcheck.com/ everyone can check the results for themselves.

Here's a list with HTTP status codes, like 301, 302, 403 that you're seeing in the logs above.

Try to visit your own domains parked on Sedo new landers...
Close this tab... and later go to main Sedo page in a new tab...
Yesterday I got this redirect error 3 or 4 times.
And already 1 year old this nightmare.

Tried.. No problem for me.
(But of course I'm not defending Sedo. There is a proof of a bug above.)

......
(There are sites which work on firefox and blocked by Chromium for no reason.
For example: larouchepac.com resolves correctly on Firefox but Chromium gives this error:

This site can’t be reached
The webpage at https://www.larouchepac.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY )

.......
Why does everyone use Cloudflare (and also add lots of crap like FB, G+, IN,...) and let them monitor everything. In my past website projects I never used even a basic javascript code, enabling JS would have no effect (except adsense). Also why use someone else's Captcha.
I guess we are ok with becoming slaves (and getting vaccinated).

@Sedo also doesn't follow Language settings in browser...
US is primary in my Chromium - but they show UK version when I visit my parked domains...
And when I visit their mainpage - they load US version...
Very probably, this mix can be a reason for their abnormal redirect chains...

@Sedo
Do you monitor your uptime?
Such errors are relatively regular already...

@Sedo - while online here - is not responding any longer.

Yes, none of the mentioned issues was fixed, like rocket science for their devs...
Looks that the only one solution here - to move all domains away from @Sedo

p.s. I got ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS ~10 times today.
Even without visiting my parked domains.
