Sedo.com - Official Thread

[Sedo]

Hi All! :hi:

By request, we've decided to start a thread dedicated to Sedo. We're looking for invaluable insight into what domainers want and need out of our parking program (and marketplace, of course).

Questions, comments, suggestions, tips are welcome! We're hoping this will be a great discussion about what works at Sedo and what might not (please be constructive and respectful to others in your feedback) so that everyone involved can benefit and learn from it.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas! Happy Holidays!

Always,
Keith
(on behalf of Sedo)

Hello. Yesterday I got an e-mail from [email protected]:

Sehr geehrter Sedo-Nutzer,
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für Sedo als Plattform für den Handel und das Parking von Domains entschieden haben.
Wir haben eine Mitteilung unseres Advertising-Providers erhalten, dass der Großteil an Besuchern Ihrer Domains als „Spam Traffic“ klassifiziert wurde und dadurch nicht zulässig für das Domain-Parking ist.
Leider mussten wir Ihre Domains vom Domain-Parking ausschließen und können das generierte Guthaben nicht auszahlen. Ihr Account wurde vorerst gesperrt.
Sollten Sie Fragen oder Einwände bezüglich dieser Entscheidung haben, so wenden Sie sich bitte an [email protected].
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Ihr Sedo-Team


I translated it by online translator and in English it means:

Very honored Sedo user, Thank you that you decided for Sedo as platform for the trade and the Parking of Domains. We received a report of our Advertising provider that the majority at visitors of your Domains was classified as „Spam Traffic “and thus for the Domain Parking is illegal. Unfortunately we had to exclude and not know your Domains from the Domain Parking the generated assets to disburse. Their account became for the time being closed. If you should have questions or objections concerning this decision, then you turn please to [email protected]. Yours sincerely, Sedo team


I’m totally don’t understand why. I had never clicked on my own adds and I have really small traffic on all my domains. I purchased some old domains with traffic on aftermarket, maybe some of that traffic Sedo considers as a spam traffic. I didn’t ever analyze that traffic, because
I’m newbie in that business and interesting in trading but not in getting revenue.

Also I have 2 unfinished transactions on Sedo, so if it is possible I will ask the Sedo team to open my account, and if there are some domains with any spam traffic please delete them.

Yesterday I wrote 3 e-mails to Sedo but got no answer.

Thank you an advance

Hi Step... got to ask... Im prefered in PM...

waiting for positif reply...

thanks.

 

[serialCoder]

hmm, may i ask how long does it usually take sedo to process payments on a domain auctioned there? Sorry for asking this here, i have sent 2 email messages to sedo support and i still havent got any response. its more than 2 weeks now since my domain was auctioned off.

 

[exsedo]

Hi, I have only ever sold one domain at sedo auction but the transaction was handled extremely well by Iris. Once the domain was pushed, I had the money within 2 weeks. Hope you have the same experience. Good luck.

 

[serialCoder]

i see, well i guess, i have to wait and see for now, its actually about 13 days since the name was pushed so, its still one more day

 

[Sleepys]

I don't know what is taking so long in your case. I think normally it is supposed to be sent to your within 2 weeks of the payment/transfer. I do know that if the buyer was from another country as you, then it normally takes longer for them to process the payment. If it takes much longer you should email the broker in charge of the transaction.

 

[serialCoder]

i already did, twice already, no response until now though

I want to ask Sedo representative when we will see the feature of second chance offer?

For example I had an offer, but buyer canceled negotiations. The problem that there is no feature contact the buyer back to tell that I could accept his previous offer. This is currently the biggest problem!

I have to disagree Ergo, if this feature was available then many more will ask for a much higher offer, then if the bidder dont accept, say "okey, you didtn fall for it, I accept you previous offer, which was fair and good offer in the first place."

As you might read from my post, I am a little irritated at some Sedo-members who reply to an offer with an incredible high price for their domainnames, so one is thinking "what are they smoking!?"

The feature you ask for, would increase such meaningless high prices.

As it is now, one must think, "okey, if I dont accept this or atleast reply with a fair price, I might not get another offer by this bidder" and thats good.

I am tired of people asking for $xx.xxx for howstupiddoyouthinkiam.com (just an example, dont even know if it is regged )

I agree with testingyou. The feature I would like to see would be the opportunity to offer the domain to the second highest bidder should the winner fail to pay.

Yes, this I can absolutely support and would be an understandable step.

 

[weblord]

Completely disagree with you. Do you sell your domains to endusers for reseller prices???? It's ridiculous not to try high counter-offers. And I had success with high counter-offers.

Please understand that the master keyword selection serves as a suggestion for our advertising partners. The upstream providers then use their own algorithms and analytics to determine the most targeted and relevant content to be displayed.

During recent testing by our partner to create better quality for their network of individual advertisers, some keywords have generated different types of content when paired with certain domain names. This issue is affecting all partners using the same advertising feeds.

We are diligently working with our upstream partners to resolve this issue. In the interim we recommend utilizing more specific keywords to deliver the most relevant content(e.g. "stock investment advice" instead of "investing"). We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue promptly.

In addition, if you provide me the domain names in question via PM, I can look into the specific issues further.
