Its an IDN. Just quoting from that listing "ᔆ.COM is Internationalized domain name (IDN), English (Latin) translate XN--EKE.COM".

Its not letter "S".

It's not an 's', it's an idn.

Once again IDN format domain was confusing and appeared as a normal domain name.
What a nuisance.

I hope that ICANN and all relevant domain organizations and registries will stop allowing to register them.
IMO If such a change of policy will occur, it will be great
Some will be upset, but more advantages than disadvantages for sure

I'm sure whoever the seller is; is a member on here. The only names that "sell" are junk idn's and "viagra" names (even if it's not really for the name). I saw a seller on there the other day, he had received negative feedback because he was actually selling viagra domains, instead of the pills hahaha.

Site was registered on 08-sep-2014, so he made about $100 in 6 months. (not sure how much IDN cost)

Misleading thread, isn't it? It was pretty obvious it was an IDN.

 

[iowadawg]

The ebay auction said it was an IDN.
Or don't people read anymore?
Just make up their minds and rant for nothing.

Newbie will not know what is IDN about. They sure will bid for that domain at ebay. Last time I saw IDN domain SIX.com and WINE.com at ebay and sold for USD1K++ if not mistaken, but few week after that, relist again on ebay.

 

[DubDubDubDot]

I don't know anything about these. Are they even worth $100 or was it buyer ignorance?

 

[TravisS]

What idiot would spend $699 on a name w/o looking at the fine print. There's a point where it goes from a seller "scamming" to a buyer just being completely careless.

I'm not a newbie. I've been buying and selling domains for over ten years and I know what an IDN is. Finding out my "S.com" was an IDN, I felt very embarrassed. With that in mind, I went back to eBay to read again the auction description. Oh boy, it was more than pretty obvious like "Domainerfella" mentioned. And also was obvious like "Iowadawg" pointed out "don't people read anymore?"
Fast reading without "digesting" was what happened to me.
This time was being embarrassed in this forum, next time may get me in trouble.
Thank you for your comments. They helped me to fix a shortcoming.
