[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)

@tonyk2000 "Their job is technical. They do their job" I'd agree with that. It's dusty but it works.

Their job is technical. They do their job, and perfectly. As simple as this

Can't tell if serious...

@tonyk2000 "They do their job, and perfectly" No.

Any domain marketplace looks good with a fast-transfer domain transaction or other simple process that a monkey could perform.

It's when you get deep in the weeds that you find out the inherent limitations and flaws of a given marketplace.

My experience is based on the regular sales + sales via their escrow...

MLS sales are completely another story. And they very depend on the registrars, not just on Sedo.
For example, Dynadot MLS sales take significantly more time than regular sales of the same Dynadot domains.

Sure, but no one has trouble with those, which is why with every post, I was very specific in terms of what I was referring to. Requests for help from the Sedo broker from within the Transfer System interface.

I don't know how many more times I need to spell it out - if you're stuck in the Transfer System at Sedo, you're in a world of pain simply because they are not a registrar and do not have any facility or ability to help.

A similar "tough transaction" at GoDaddy takes about 2 seconds, simply because they are a registrar.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

You don't need to write it many times or to boldify, no idiots here (I guess).

All our posts are strictly about their internal communication in the Transfer Center.
If you don't like your current agent - ask them to assign another specialist for your transaction and for further sales.

And Broker service is absolutely another department.
Don't mix brokers and transfer specialists.

In the past I lost 3 weeks on GoDaddy to sell just .ME
And this doMEn was under GoDaddy.
Never again.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And they have their escrow accounts with many registrars.
It is not mandatory to become a registrar just to move the domains.

Does anyone know if the Sedo offers you receive, also tell you which is the buyer's country?

I'm asking cause I have used BIN only so far and I'm considering to switch to make offer but need to know this. (long story)

Thanks

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Country of bidder is visible since the beginning.

@Sedo
Please remove the 2nd vertical scrollbar from your control panel.
It appeared ~2 weeks ago and still remains...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And please add to your roadmap the internal balance as payout method and withdrawal of custom amount from this balance.
Many domainers need it.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

@Sedo
And recheck all your nameservers...
Some of them answer 127.0.0.1 for parked domains instead of proper IP address.

 

[tonyk2000]

Some of them answer 127.0.0.1 for parked domains instead of proper IP address.

I've seen this on locally banned domains (and/or accounts?). Such as: I was trying to add a domain, ownership conflict detected and resolved, the domain had 127.0.0.1 ip before the resolution, and all returned to normal after the conflict was resolved - domain moved to my account.
It may also be that the domain in question is banned by Sedo, while the account is not.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Thanks.
Really strange and non-informative method.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I just detected this 127.0.0.1 issue on the domain added to my account ~40 minutes ago.
It is without any flags/warnings - but nothing works...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

It is listed and can be found on marketplace via searchbox...
Even MLS works - I see its price on Dynadot.
But 127.0.0.1

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And it is not related to DNS cache...
I ask Sedo nameservers directly - they all answer 127.0.0.1
True idiotism.

Thank you for sharing. Do you have any more concrete details, like the domain? So we can have a look at this together.
