I figure there are 2 main players in the domain aftermarket (Afternic and Sedo) and it would be good to have my domains listed on both? (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
Anyways, I believe that Afternic charges something like a 25% commission now unless you put their nameservers on the domains, at which point I think the commission goes down to something like 15%. So I have set my domains up with the Afternic nameservers. I have uploaded my domains to Sedo today and I have more than 200 domains which say:
....are pending ownership verification
Their process to do the ownership verification is to add my Sedo personal ID to the TXT record. I have just tried to do that but it doesn't work. I've gone on chat with Spaceship and according to them, this is only possible if I set my domains up with Spaceship's nameservers. Otherwise, I would have to do the TXT record at the place where the nameservers point to, which is Afternic and I can't possibly ask Afternic to verify the ownership for Sedo, can I?
What is the solution to this? I was thinking to change the nameservers temporarily to Spaceship's and then add the TXT record, wait for it to propagate and get picked up by Sedo and then change the nameservers back to Afternics? Would this work? Or would anyone have any other suggestions?
