[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)

Is it possible to deactivate Sedo MLS completely if I want only Sedo involved in any sales?

@Sedo

we've send you a PN

As it was a PM, I'll leave it up to Sedo to divulge.. but basically the answer was no.

One option to try would be to remove and add again

Some quick googling revealed that opt-out of SedoMLS is (only?) possible from within the registrar -- not through Sedo, as I understand it.

@Sedo Is that correct?

Hi!

What is exatly the gain of this?

For me Sedo MLS is by far no 1 venue of sales we make (about 70%), seems very good network with big exposure . The only minus is that at names with registrar lock status (after transfer or new registrations) if have BIN price and even not listed at MLS can be sold via MLS and buyer has to wait weeks or months to take control of name. Would be a good option to deactivate MLS for locked names only, do not know if you meant the same.

Just thinking about a few things..

Just thinking about a few things..

Feel free to share your thinking!

In terms of the Sedo MLS or MLS premium, wouldn't it be great to have the option to have only the price that you set be the pricing across the board for all MLS and MLS premium partners?

Would that help eliminate confusion, if a potential buyer does happen to check multiple sites and be put off on buying because they see the price variations? Some might think that a potential buyer would then simply end up buying the domain at the registrar/marketplace showing the lowest price. However, isn't there a possibility that they would simply end up being distracted by this, or completely turned off by the fact that price of the domain really doesn't appear to be straightforward?

The variability of pricing with Afternic partners has raised concerns. Perhaps the Sedo MLS and MLS premium could distinguish itself by giving the seller the option of setting one price throughout the network?
Granted, there are issues about currency conversion perhaps needing different pricing, but such technicalities could be worked out.

Just tried ns1 and ns2.sedoparking.com

Redirects to the page http://findresultsonline.com/?dn= domainname

without even https (works with https but the automated ns pair sends to http)

upper appears the domain may be for sale (could check imo with a script before if it is for sale and
writes domain IS for sale) also the buy this domain is way too small fonts imo.

Just personal opinion of course @Sedo

Hello @Sedo
I noticed that you are offering as payment method only Alipay and Bank Transfer.

Why don't you have PayPal and Stripe, and perhaps Gpay?

Hello @Sedo

i believe that is only for purchases over $5000. they may offer buyers other payment options if asked.

Would you consider implementing a DAN approval system style?
Such as "verify-7f7u39xmj.sedoparking.com"

Thus, there will be no need to set to the default DNS of the registrar, DAN and SEDO approvals are made at the same time, and anyone who wishes can be directed to the SEDO landing page instantly without waiting for hours and dealing with DNS settings again and again.

Hi @Sedo

Can you clarify the difference between 'Offer Views' in Sales Settings and 'Uniques' in Standard Overview on the Domain Management page?

For a few of my names I have more uniques than offer views for the same period.

 

[dr manos]

Still if using ns1 and ns2 sedoparking.com redirects to a non https page:
http://findresultsonline.com/?dn=domainame
Is it serious to not have https at 2023? Some browsers produce error

Also as i wrote buy now is way too small fonts

@Sedo cmon!

 

[loveai]

when will u support the installments,i think this will increacse the orders...

If Sedo wishes to continue competing with Dan, wouldn't this be a useful next step? Thanks for the mentioning this.

yes,but they did nothing in these years...

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

This is puzzling to me. Perhaps Sedo could chime in here, to let us know if there are any plans for this.

Hopefully, especially with the stiff competition they now have, Sedo will be doing more innovation, including marketing and expanding their sales options.

 

[dr manos]

Sadly they do not reply at all this week.
Installments would be good for sure, also more payment methods for buyers.
But urgent is to correct the thing that ns1 and ns2.sedoparking NS pair
directs to http and not https, major caveat
