information Sedo introduces new domain sale templates

[equity78]

Sedo announced new sales templates in an effort to bring more attention to your domain names. According to the release you need to use sl1.sedo.com & sl2.sedo.com. If the domain uses the new sales layout, has a fixed price and is purchased through the Sedo marketplace, the commission is only 10%. This is how it will impact domain sale conversions: Works on any device: template … [Read more...]

Long names don't look good on this new design: This is on desktop

Yes, httpS on domains works. Maybe they need to some time to issue ssl certs.

The ceriticates are not from letsencrypt, but from:

issuer: C=US; O=DigiCert Inc; OU=www.digicert.com; CN=Encryption Everywhere DV TLS CA - G1

... and those are 1-year certificates, not 3 months!

It appears that Sedo is paying for a service from
https://www.websecurity.digicert.com/theme/encryption-everywhere

Other providers: Dynadot also does this in the background for the domains on Dynadot marketplace (dynadot DNS servers should be assigned). They use free letsencrypt. On the other hand, Godaddy, being ssl certificates issuing authority itself (!), did not bother to set ssl forwarding on ns5/ns6 afternic servers. Unfortunately.

The 69 "people" are all bots. I know this from Dan/GA stats. So its bullsh*t, but does look good to a buyer.

Is it really good or bad looking? Not sure. The buyer may also guess that if so many people looked, but nobody purchased, then the item may not be that good (overpriced maybe).

Thx for the article anyway to show an example page? Ty

Would it also be helpful to allow the seller to place their domain descriptions on this template? Currently, the seller's description still only appears after the buyer signs in. The advantage of Dan is allowing the description up front on the lander.

the "Buy Now"-button is not visible when viewing the new template on a mobile phone...

It looks like DAN.COM

 

[jamesau]

Need to ditch the blue footer. Takes the eyes away.

Too bad it doesn't offer https / SSL version.

If you type the domain in the browser bar, you will not reach it if you have visited it previously and had ssl.

Also existing links to the domain will not bring people there to see it's for sale.

Edit: So far only Dan seems to offer this.

 

[tonyk2000]

Must be shown after any number of visits. In a parallel thread with similar subject, there are screenshots referring to "21 people". Whether the number is reset and how frequently is another question.

Imo, Sedo should either:

- start filtering bots and let the seller check/uncheck "show real stats". Different sellers may have different preferences...

OR

- stop displaying the nonsense numbers

 

[Gary Scot]

Yup. I'm sticking with DAN. For now at least.

Don't see it.

Check your "My account" then the settings for "Payment Details" tab. See if Paypal shows there. That is the payout settings, but it might clue you into something about buyer payment restrictions.

I see this note in there:

*PayPal payments can only be made for amounts less than 10,000 USD. If you expect a payment for more than this amount, please update your bank details accordingly.

PayPal is available in more than 190 countries and regions. While you can send and receive PayPal payments in most countries, there are a few countries where you can only either send or receive payments. Check here to find out which options PayPal offers you in your country.

It is not an issue on my side, look:

https://sedo.com/search/?keyword=.com&price_start=5001&rel=2&orderdirection=1

it seems pp isnt available for all listings with BIN higher than 5K

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

Can be confuse the price how show (125.00 or 9999.99 ) ?
...special for people not speaking english
Maybe buyers think 12500 or 999999 instead of sale price
What you think ?

Looks pretty straight forward. Maybe it would be better if they simply have $125, without the ".00." Good idea.

xxx people have already viewed this offer in red colour is a smart marketing tactic, even if it can be manipulated by automated bots and V.P.N. abuse.

I put up this domain a couple days ago after moving it from Dan. The 69 "people" are all bots. I know this from Dan/GA stats. So its bullsh*t, but does look good to a buyer.

 

[NYJimbo]

Did you notice when it began showing? After 50 visits?

I think its 10, but not sure.

Pretty sure it resets on the first of the month. It is using the "Offer Views" counter from the "My Domains" custom view page. That resets on the first.

 

[zomainhacks]

Sedo has removed the Buy Now version from the press release and from their example at ballonshop.com. That was fast something went wrong.

I've checked some BIN listings with that lander and the only payment methods available seem to be Alipay and bank transfer

 

[Armageddon]

I notice ( on mobile & must check on PC ) that if i access my portfolio on SEDO ( link on my portfolio ) show only a part of portfolio , my guess around 300 names
If want to go down for more is stop & show bottom page of SEDO
Can verify someone ?

It looks like DAN.COM

Not really.

In ux ui design this design is very common.

I knew the design of sedo before, and it's the same alignment as before.

 

[Gao Yimo]

sedo validation is too slow.

 

[Gary Scot]

Doesn't always work that fast, especially if the domain has been previously listed.
I listed a couple of names there last week and it took a couple of days even after changing nameservers / txt records.
Adding the CNAME does seem to work quicker though.
