Non-Paying Buyer at Sedo

[Debt.tv]

I recently sold a domain via sedo and the buyer didn't pay. Sedo sent me the contact details for the buyer in order for me to take action against them.

What action should I take? Should I contact him directly and see if I can still sell it to him or should I just let the issue go and move on with my life and relist the name?

Thank you

Last night, inspired by this thread I tracked one of the non paying buyers from Sedo.

He phoned me recently and said his account was hacked and sedo reinstalled his account, and he did not made the offer.

These kind of possible situations made me hesitant to list names in public. Try contacting the non paying buyer first.

If this is true (and my gut feeling says it is) Sedo is at fault for many many things. But I wait for their answer, and will continue this later.

But indeed if it is, Sedo is at VERY BIG fault. After I accepted the high $x.xxx offer they automatically cancelled two other low-mid $x.xxx offers, and they made me wait for 3 months before cancelling the negotiations, during which I received an end user inquiry for the name.

The guy who did not pay seemed honest, and hacking accounts at Sedo are not that rare unfortunately.

So, until further I will hesitate to post any names in a public forum (even this particular sale messed up all my domain strategy).

Sounds like a nice story but hard to believe. If his account had been hacked why did he not respond to the emails that he would have got from sedo re payment?
They would have sent at least 2 or 3 and in some cases even phone the buyer.

Had his account been hacked and he responed to sedo's payment request's then sedo themselves would have informed you about the problem and why the sale was being cancelled.

I gave the buyer 3 weeks to pay up, after 3 weeks I had enough, called sedo and had then cancel the whole thing. I dont know how you managed to wait 2+ months... I would never be able to wait that long.

I don't know actually. Just emailed sedo for confirmation.

I can believe it since Sedo would not disclose (IMO) that an account was compromised. That is believable, they would not inform me that an account has been hacked because they would seem like not secure for me.

The buyer (whoever he was) responded sedo that he needed time (which I granted).

I want to clear these things up, I can believe the guy's story, but anyway until he can be right, I will not disclose his name.

But if in the end I can prove that he was wrong in this case, and lied on the phone, believe me that on a Google search for his name, the first 10 results will be full about he being a non paying buyer. I know I can do it
