If you sold it on Sedo, they will invoice the buyer.

Nope - Sedo now allows buyers to request an invoice directly from the seller. I had to do the same thing the last 2 domains I sold there.

Doesn't need to be anything crazy - If you don't have invoicing software just set up a document that includes:

The seller's (your) information - Name and Address
The buyer's information - name and address

What domain they're purchasing and the total purchase price (i.e. don't deduct SEDO's fees).

If there are several domains, list them all and have a total at the bottom.

You can probably find free invoice templates available online, if you search for them.

Congrats on the sale !

Wow, that really stinks.

The whole point of selling through Sedo is to avoid having to deal with the buyer or seller directly.

Why bother listing with them if you have to do the scutt work yourself?

Might as well save yourself the 10%.

Anyway, sorry to give you wrong information, and, yes, congrats on the sale!

Last few I sold, the buyer requested an invoice, the SEDO rep let me know this, what needed to be done, and I completed and uploaded the invoice. That was enough.

Thanks very much for your fast reply! Please take a look on a sample I've just found (attached pdf).

That is very similar to the one I use. In my last 10 sales at Sedo, 5 of the buyers have requested an invoice. Now I can expect an extra day or two for the sales proceeds to be disbursed as this slows down the transaction.

Because one of the buyers was very picky about his invoice being marked/stamped as "Paid In Full" - I now make sure to itemize the payment at the bottom as well as overlay a big red "Paid" image somewhere on the top of the invoice.

Hey, could you please show me the one you use, I mean with the big red "Paid" image! :bingo: Thanks

Sure. In the Zip file I have included the Excel spreadsheet, the "Paid" stamp as a separate jpeg image, and a PDF file to show you the final invoice that is uploaded to Sedo.

All you have to do is edit the customer invoice in Excel, place the image where you want, and then convert it to a PDF document. I just use the free program PDFCreator to print my spreadsheet as a PDF document.

Hope this helps.

:hi:

If you have or get a gmail account you can use Google Docs to create an Invoice.

Google makes it easy to convert the Doc into a PDF which you can then upload to Sedo.

I've done this many times.

I keep a copy of the invoice in my Google account as a template and just change the info
as needed.

This thread is truly helpful!I also sold my first domain on sedo last week, but the buyer requested an invoice (which i know nothing about). I already made an inquiry on one of their staffs but I haven't received any reply until now. I'm really glad of NP.

Anyway, would like to ask about sedo's commission. My domain's sale price is $150, sedo's commission is $50, net amount to be credited is $100. I thought sedo's commission fee is just 10%? I'm lost..please enlighten me. Thank you.

If you have parked your domain with Sedo and listed it for sale under fixed price its 10% commission else $50 minimum.

Great thread!

If you are receiving payment via paypal you can send an invoice through paypal too.

After SEDO informed me that a buyer has accepted my fixed price offer I received an invoice request.

The buyer is from Canada and I am from Europe. I do not have a registered business for domain trade. What should I write in my invoice for company name, address and phone? Is it allowed to write my whois data that I use for domains?

 

[Irieman]

You don’t have to be a company to sell a domain, just enter your personal information on the invoice.

 

[johsnow]

Ok, thanks!

Do I need to enter buyer`s info in the invoice or should I leave that blank? If I need to enter everything how can I know the buyer`s info?

In the transfer history the latest is that the payment took place. Does it mean I do not have to make the invoice?
