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)

Sedo - ever had this happen?

Resolved. I had a bid thread disappear, but the name appears to have sold.

I never use the "buy it now" option on SEDO it is god very good for SEDO but not for the domainer. Think about it why would SEDO be pushing the "buy it now" option and why would they push domainers by showing all these statistics to prove that it is in the advantage of the domainers to put a price for their domains?

If you cant figure it out you are not a real domainer.

Have you sold any NOT using the buy it now option? I have sold 3 recently using buy it now. You just have to factor their bigger cut into your buy it now price.

have an offer and sedo said:

Please note, that you will receive reminder mails about this offer, until you respond. You will need to submit at least one counter before you can cancel the negotiations.

is that true? can't i cancel or delete it?

Not for 7 days.

When a potential buyer makes an offer, he/she is obligated to buy at that price, and you have 7 days to decide if you want to accept or counteroffer, although if the seller counteroffers (and the buyer accepts), the seller is obligated to sell.

If you want to cancel the negotiation, just counteroffer an impossibly high price--that is, if you are having second thoughts about selling it.

My experience when using any direct email address with sedo, is that it takes far longer (if at all) to get a response, then sending the message through the online support centre.

Actually, sedo's support centre who gives me this email when I had false warning about my account being locked.

"We are unable to assist. If you have further inquiries you can contact [email protected]"

Then when I emailed them, it also automatically showed up at my support centre. :cy:

I've received 3 blank emails fro [email protected] after sending the a support email. Is that normal?

Nope, because I was replied directly via [email protected]

I think maybe you should try sedo's support centre first before sending anything via email. :imho:

How to put up a bundle of domains for sale on Sedo? Please someone let me know.

Once you got an account, go under My Account > Add Domains to add your domains. It'll then ask you to set a bin or make offer.

Is there a landing template for the actual offer page, the "This premium domain is for sale!" page? From what I can see all of the templates are pages that appear before you get to this page.... which I honestly can't understand. Hoping there is a layout I can choose in Domain Management that is the offer page itself...

Thanks for any help!

I've asked before and they said there wasn't.

The best you can do is forward to the offer page itself, but if you do that, they won't consider it "parked" with them, as your nameservers will not be theirs. And subsequently, you may need to pay a higher commission if a sale results.

That's incredible. Ive always found that their "buy/makeoffer" call to action was incredibly hidden on most of the templates. Curious, which you use and think is most effective. Ive been using Lite for a long time since its the simplest, but that may not be the best choice...

 

[RazorNF]

To be honest I don't park much with them anymore and tinkering with the templates never helped - I find their ppc super low.

The initial reason I had asked them before was because there may be times that you don't want ads showing on a particular domain.

Anything that I still have parked now are at other providers

And yeah I would tend to agree with you, that the domain may be for sale info may be missed by some end users.

Reason being, is like the adsense-blind syndrome - if people end up seeing something enough, they just tend to ignore/miss over time. And with so many domains parked on the same type of Sedo pages, people just end up moving on.

There is a new (I dont know is it very new or not, but I just saw it recently) parking template called "for sale" or something like that, which shows big "domain for sale" text in the middle of the page. Maybe you can give it a try.

EDIT - member below me said template is called "Sales Lander"

 

[sanfran]

In my case SEDO fvcked up real big.
They sold me domain a few years back for a pretty penny.
I put that name on their parking platform, and the next day I got email from them that the name is banned.
I tried to undo the deal, to negotiate with the lovely German folks from Sedo - but nah, they don't give a flying fvck.
As long as they get their bloody money that's all that counts.

Just choose the 'Sales Lander' layout.

But my favorite layout is 'Phoenix Blue'. :hehe:

Cool, finally!
