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)

WOW - xn--e1as1e.com is going cheep. $310 right now.

xn--e1as1e.com = SEO.COM



Of course SEDO should mark these IDN's. Its not fair for the people who dont understand domaining, end users, newbies, etc.

Owned by the same Russian that has арр.com and many others on a regular guest appearance on Sedo auction.

Also OWNED http://www.namepros.com/warnings-and-alerts/748032-com-i-was-a-victim.html

These names are bait waiting for the unwary!

Thanks for the links.

"Little misleading me thinks.

Thanks Brian"

Bit of an understatement bearing in mind what is happening now. :gl:

 

[WORDSWORTH]

The really misleading bit IMO is in the seller's Sedo description:

Please, look at my other short domains!

сѕ.com

іа.com

ој.com

х2.com

уѕ.com

еј.com

ѕее.com

сае.com

ѕоа.com

ехро.com

ѕоар.com

соса.com

Nowhere in this description does it mention they are IDN's! Might be enough to make a less experienced buyer think the domain currently at auction is real, in spite of the Sedo IDN warning message.

 

[DnEbook]

Today I played 18 holes of golf,had lunch with the misses.

Walked my dogs,did 100 sit ups,300 on the air strider,swum in my pool.

Then made a few posts on some forums and my blogs and it's not yet 4.30pm where I am.

Retirement is great!

I think I can cope. :D

just your average domainer

 

[wot]

Even with the sentence: This is an IDN Domain, the technical term is.....
I bet many people who are not domainers don't understand that.

XN--P1AB7DZV.COM. currently at 850$
XN--80A6AAM01D.COM. 13 bids 270$
XN--E1ASI.COM 1000$ 2 bids
etc...

Sedo MUST know that something is wrong here. I am sure they know that some people who are bidding are not aware on what exactly they are bidding.

I am very dissapointed.

And they are the same few sellers that are doing this,Russia & Ukraine mainly two of whom have threads here where buyers have cried foul! Sedo are fully aware and are doing nothing! :td:

Initial SHILL BIDS :imho:

 

[wot]

Not sure if something is happening at Sedo but there are only a couple of the crappy IDN ASCII on the featured domains compared with over a dozen a week or two ago.

Now maybe something is really happening,only 2 crappy ASCII IDN on auction at the moment!

And it looks like the Russian has not sucked anybody in with есо.com as there is still only bidder 1 (The $1K shill bid?)

Sedo- are you actually taking action?

 

[sofiapartner]

Yeah - something is happening. I have two sold domains this month, which are not paid and IMO will not be paid.

 

[GiftedDomains]

Alright. I contacted my Sedo man and explained everything regarding these crap IDN names. He told me that he didn't knew about it and promised to forward the issue to the security department and they will take care of it.
Lets see it this shit stops

 

[silentg]

I see this on the description page:

Important Notice: ** This domain contains special non-English characters (i.e. "ä","ö","ü","á","é", "í") and is an Internationalized Domain (IDN). Please note that even if the signs in this domain name appear like regular signs, the domain can only be reached by typing in: XN--80A1A6D.COM.

[GiftedDomains]

@silentg, this is new. Seams like they changed something now

 

[tonecas]

I notice this during this week. but now, the sentence that the domain can only be reach by typing the punnycode is not correct...

tonecas

 

[silentg]

@silentg, this is new. Seams like they changed something now

Yeah the page showed this on 2/26/2012

"Important Notice: This is a Multi-Lingual (IDN) Domain.
Technically you are acquiring the domain xn--n1a9b.com"

Sedo have been advised of this on numerous occasions going back a few months and this is their thread that they say they read.

I have made numerous posts on my blog to which Sedo even replied.Ridiculous reply but a reply nonetheless so most definitely aware.

So perhaps they are using mushroom management for their staff.

 

[WORDSWORTH]

I see this on the description page:


http://sedo.com/search/details.php4...ngRequestId=26335334&language=e&origin=search

I was referring to the misleading description the seller manually added to the seo.com auction page to sucker in potential buyers. Since the auction is over, that description is no longer visible.

 

[wot]

Currently on auction at Sedo:

ѕһор.com Registered 26th Feb 20+ bids over $800 Ukrainian

ехро.com Registered 26th Feb Our Russian friend Elena

саѕһ.com Registered 27th Feb - the Ukrainian again

ѕһор.net Registered 13th March Owns the com so thinks he might be able to screw somebody with the .net as well.

Sedo- there is a pattern here!It's mostly the same people with shill bids.

How are these sellers able to set ridiculous price for crap domains?
